New Doctor in Montauk

Montaukers will soon have a new doctor to call their own. Southampton Hospital has announced that Michael Genereux, a doctor of osteopathy, will work out of the Meeting House Lane Medical Practice’s offices on Montauk Main Street this summer, filling the vacancy left by the departure of Dr. Anthony Knott late last year.

Dr. Genereux will complete his residency in the Montauk office, working under Dr. Lara DeSanti-Siska, who is certified in family medicine, and Dr. Elizabeth White-Fricker, D.O., both from Meeting House Lane Medical’s office in Wainscott; they have been working in Montauk one day a week. Dr. Genereux will start full time on July 1. He is already familiar with patients in the Montauk office, having worked with Dr. Knott for two and a half years.

Dr. Knott, who practiced in Montauk for 10 years, left in November. A month later, Ken Dodge, a popular physician’s assistant, left the office as well.

The Meeting House Lane Medical Practice, an affiliate of Southampton Hospital, has offices in several locations on the South Fork. Its Montauk office is at 699 Montauk Highway.
