After graduating from New York University School of Medicine in 1987, and completing her residency in 1990, Dr. Milano starting working in the field of HIV. Although Dr. Milano continues to care for a large number of HIV-infected patients, the largest part of her practice is general internal medicine. At the Boriken Neighborhood Health Center (a federally-funded community health center located in East Harlem) where she practices, the main health issue is obesity and it's associated diseases. Although Dr. Milano does not believe everyone needs to be thin to be healthy, there are simple lifestyle changes people can make to improve their quality of life and their longevity. No fad diets...No starvation diets...Just lifestyle changes in order to live a longer healthier life.
