About Us:

Together, our Medical Directors/Owners have over 40 years of Occupational Health Experience.

Mark Costanza, MD

A Buffalo native and a graduate of Upstate Medical Center - Syracuse NY, and the SUNY at Buffalo School of Pharmacy, Dr. Costanza is also a certified MRO.  He is Associate Medical Director for the Catholic Health System and lectures on the staff at D'Youville and Daemen Colleges. Dr. Costanza, who practiced as a family physician before switiching to Occupational Medicine,  has over 18 years of experience practicing Occupational Medicine in Buffalo and Western New York.

Stuart Dorfman, MD

A graduate of SUNY School of Medicine and residency trained at SUNY Stony Brook on Long Island, Dr. Dorfman is also a certified MRO and an Assistant Professor of Clinical Family Medicine at SUNY at Buffalo.  He practiced as a Family Physician for over 15 years before switching exclusively to Occupational Medicine close to twenty years ago. He lectures regularly, at Buffalo and outlying area companies, on the recognition of drug and alcohol abuse in the workplace.

 

Both owners have a proven commitment to Buffalo and the Western New York area.  They have established relationships with many of the businesses throughout Buffalo and the outlying areas of Western New York.   Each owner brings a unique quality to Healthworks-WNY in that each as a certified MRO works right at our 3 Buffalo locations and is accessible by cell or email whenever needed.  Each owner has knowledge and clinical experience in controlled substance abuse disorders, including knowledge of alternate medical explanations for laboratory confirmed positive drug test results as well as issues relating to adulterated, substituted and invalid specimens.  Each owner is knowledgeable on Part 40, DOT MRO Guidelines and the agency regulations applicable to the employees for whom the MRO evaluates drug test results, and each must keep current with any changes regarding these topics.

As MRO's, they have each satisfactorily completed a training program and an examination administered by a nationally recognized MRO certification organization.  Dr. Costanza is certified by the American Association of Medical Review Officers (AAMRO) and Dr. Dorfman is certified by the Medical Review Officers Certification Council (MROCC).

For employers who are mandated to perform drug testing, we administer and maintain both Federally Regulated (DOT, Pipeline, Coast Guard and Rail) and company specific Random Drug Consortium Programs.
