Dr. Mansoor Farooki

Dr. Mansoor Farooki is a board-certified physician specializing in Internal Medicine and Geriatric Medicine, with over 50 years of clinical practice across New York City and Long Island. As the founding physician of RASMED Clinic, Dr. Farooki has shaped the practice around a core conviction: that exceptional medical care is not a privilege, but a right — and that every patient, regardless of age, language, or insurance status, deserves the same attentive, personalized attention that defines truly great medicine.

Born and educated in Pakistan, Dr. Farooki completed his medical training at King Edward Medical University (KEMU) in Lahore, earning his Doctor of Medicine in 1974. One of the oldest and most academically rigorous medical institutions in South Asia — founded in 1860 — KEMU has produced generations of physicians practicing across the United Kingdom, the United States, and beyond. Following his graduation, Dr. Farooki pursued postgraduate specialization in Internal Medicine, Nuclear Medicine, and Geriatric Medicine, developing a rare clinical range that has served his patients across five decades. He is affiliated with New York Community Hospital of Brooklyn.

Dr. Farooki's primary clinical expertise lies in the diagnosis and long-term management of complex adult and geriatric conditions. His patients rely on him for the ongoing management of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), hypothyroidism, kidney disease, and the constellation of age-related conditions that require coordinated, whole-patient care. His additional background in Nuclear Medicine contributes a diagnostic depth that benefits patients presenting with complex cardiovascular or endocrine findings.

Beyond general internal medicine, Dr. Farooki holds specialized federal certifications that make RASMED Clinic a comprehensive destination for patients with specialized documentation needs. He is a designated USCIS Civil Surgeon, federally authorized to conduct Form I-693 immigration medical examinations required by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for green card and permanent residency applicants. He is among a select group of certified surgeons serving Nassau County and Kings County. He is also a certified Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Medical Examiner listed on the FMCSA National Registry, conducting DOT physical examinations for commercial truck drivers, bus operators, and CDL holders. Additionally, Dr. Farooki is a federally licensed buprenorphine prescriber, offering Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) with Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) for patients managing opioid use disorder as part of a comprehensive recovery plan.

Across 50 years of medicine, Dr. Farooki has learned that the most powerful diagnostic tool available to any physician is the time spent truly listening to a patient. He conducts thorough consultations, explains diagnoses and treatment options in plain language, and works collaboratively with each patient to develop a care plan that fits their real life — not just their lab results. His approach is especially well-suited to geriatric patients, for whom multiple chronic conditions, polypharmacy, and the natural changes of aging require a physician who can see the whole person.

Dr. Farooki is fluent in English, Urdu, Hindi, and Punjabi, enabling him to communicate directly with patients from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and across the South Asian diaspora. This linguistic and cultural familiarity removes a genuine barrier to care that affects many patients in the Brooklyn and Long Island communities RASMED serves, ensuring that medical decisions are made with full mutual understanding.

Dr. Farooki sees patients at RASMED Clinic's Valley Stream and Brooklyn locations and is currently accepting new patients. Walk-in and same-day appointments are available, and telemedicine consultations can be arranged for established patients.
