Dr. Vahakn Shant Keskinyan, MD

Pediatrician

Hi! I’m Dr. Vahakn Shant Keskinyan, though most people call me “Dr. K.” I am a board-certified pediatrician and believe I have one of the best jobs in the world. From newborns to young adults, the patients I care for are at some of the most formative and dynamic stages of life. Children, teenagers, and young adults are shaped by everything around them: the care they receive, the relationships they build, and the adults who show up for them. Being a trusted part of that process is a privilege, and I’ve built my practice around a commitment to comprehensive, individualized, and evidence-based care.

I was born in New York City and raised on Long Island. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and my Medical Degree from Wake Forest University. I completed my Pediatrics Residency at Duke University, where I was recognized for excellence in teaching and mentorship. Following residency, I pursued additional training in Pediatric Nephrology at Mount Sinai. After training, I was fortunate to find my way back home to Long Island. Prior to joining Concierge Pediatrics, I was practicing as a pediatrician in Woodbury, NY. 

I live on Long Island with my wife, daughter, and two pups. I love being a husband and father and value time with my family immensely. During my personal time, I enjoy reading, being active – cycling, yoga, resistance training, and running – and supporting my favorite team, Liverpool Football Club.
