Some legacies run deep.

Dr. Mark Gasparini is celebrating 20 years of serving the Long Island community as a podiatrist, and he had the perfect person to celebrate with. His father, Dr. Mauro Gasparini, is marking 45 years of serving that same community as an internal medicine physician. Together, that is 65 years of dedicated patient care right here on Long Island.

Dr. Mauro Gasparini is widely respected as a pillar of the community, and it is easy to see where Dr. Mark gets his passion for helping people.

Two doctors. Two milestones. One family. One community.

Thank you both for your decades of service to Long Island. The team at Foot Specialists of Long Island is honored to carry that dedication forward every single day.
