Burn Care Service

Our Burn Care Service manages Stony Brook's Burn Center - the only one in Suffolk County. Its surgical and medical staff provide the most sophisticated care to both adults and children with major burns. The Burn Center is an eight-bed unit designed and equipped to meet the special needs of burn patients. In addition to initial assessment and ongoing intensive and surgical care, the Burn Center provides the physical and emotional supports that are an important part of the total rehabilitation of burn patients. Through its commitment to the local community, the Burn Center has gained the enthusiastic backing of Suffolk's volunteer firefighters, who created the Volunteer Firefighters Burn Center Fund to help support special clinical and research initiatives. One such initiative led to the creation of our Living Skin Bank, which provides a unique clinical resource for wound dressings that benefit our patients.

Our Surgery practice includes physicians with specialized training and a focus on the evaluation and treatment of patients requiring burn care. To find a doctor that treats patients with this condition, please click Find a Doctor and choose the doctor that best fits your need.
