Dr. Kenny Lien, MD, DABR, a board-certified interventional radiologist, continues to transform patient care in Suffolk County through his leadership at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital and his academic roles at Stony Brook University and the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. With over 15 years of experience, Dr. Lien has earned recognition for pioneering minimally invasive procedures that offer patients safer alternatives to traditional surgery. 

Dr. Lien’s clinical expertise spans a wide range of conditions, including cancer-related interventions, spinal compression fractures, and women’s health procedures such as uterine fibroid embolization (UFE). He is particularly noted for developing novel vertebral augmentation techniques that have expanded treatment options for patients previously considered ineligible due to comorbidities. His commitment to innovation is matched by his dedication to patient-centered care, emphasizing empathy and personalized treatment plans.

Beyond his clinical practice, Dr. Lien contributes to the medical community as an Assistant Clinical Professor in Radiology at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell and as a core faculty member at Mather Hospital’s Interventional Radiology Residency Program. His research endeavors have led to publications in peer-reviewed journals, including studies on intraprocedural pain management during vertebral augmentation and the treatment of rare vascular injuries. 

Patients consistently praise Dr. Lien for his compassionate approach and clear communication. One reviewer noted, “He was very kind, explained everything he was doing in great detail, and had an amazing bedside manner. Would HIGHLY recommend this doctor to anyone”. Dr. Lien’s practice is located at 75 North Country Road, Port Jefferson, NY, and he is affiliated with Mather Hospital, recognized among America’s 250 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades.
