Physician M. Lynn Pisaniello, MD, to Retire April 24
 LOWVILLE, NY — After a successful 37-year career at Lewis County General Hospital,
M. Lynn Pisaniello, M.D., is retiring. She has served generations of
patients, providing holistic primary care, including maternity care.
“Dr. Pisaniello has been a cornerstone of healthcare in Lewis County,
positively affecting countless patients and families who trusted her for
compassionate, individualized medical care,” states Gerald R. Cayer, Chief
Executive Officer. She played a vital role in reopening the Maternity
service at Lewis County General Hospital.
Dr. Pisaniello earned her undergraduate degree in Molecular Biology
and Biochemistry from Northwestern University in 1982 and her M.D. from
Mayo Medical School in 1986. She completed her Family Medicine Residency in
Duluth, Minnesota, before moving to Lowville in 1989. She is
board-certified in family medicine and a Fellow of the American Academy of
Family Physicians.
Dr. Pisaniello has held many medical staff leadership positions,
including Chief of Service for Family Medicine, past president of the
medical staff, chair of Maternal-Child Health, and served as chair of
numerous medical staff and hospital committees.
For years, Dr. Pisaniello served as a dedicated preceptor for the
Upstate Medical University Rural Medical Education (RMED) Program, and in
2016, she earned the President’s Award for Outstanding Voluntary Faculty
Service. The RMED program offers medical students
valuable opportunities to work, learn, and engage directly with rural
communities under the guidance of family physicians and other specialists.
According to Upstate RMED officials, students have consistently praised
their experience in Lowville, highlighting both the warm welcome and caring
attitude of Dr. Lynn Pisaniello, as well as the exceptional quality of
education in her practice.
Dr. Pisaniello loves the Lewis County community. “I raised my family
here, and my patients have truly become an extension of it. While I look
forward to this next chapter, I will deeply miss the daily privilege of
caring for you and the unique bonds we’ve shared. Thank you for trusting me
with your lives and for making these decades the greatest honor of my
career.”
Dr. Pisaniello’s last day at the facility is April 23, 2026, bringing to a close her distinguished tenure that began
in 1989. Lewis County Health System is grateful for her decades of
dedicated service. Dr. Pisaniello’s contributions—from delivering babies to
providing skilled, compassionate care—have made a lasting and meaningful difference
in the lives of patients, colleagues, and the entire Lewis County
community.
