ABOUT DR. GENE DORIO
Gene Dorio, M.D., has practiced Internal Medicine in the SCV since 1988 and is a member of the medical staff at Henry Mayo Newhall Memorial Hospital.
Raised in Southern California, Dr. Dorio graduated from Los Angeles High School and Occidental College. Most of his medical education was on the East Coast but he completed his residency in Internal Medicine at UC Irvine. Because he provides much of his care to the senior population, he is one of those rare physicians who still makes housecalls. He previously hosted a program on SCVTV, aptly named “Housecalls for Seniors.”
Today, as a cohost of “The Senior Hour,” Dr. Dorio emphasizes quality-of-life issues. “Probably the most important activity to maintain one’s quality of life for our seniors is exercise,” he says. An avid runner, Dr. Dorio has completed both the Santa Clarita Marathon and the L.A. Marathon. Involved in many community activities, Dr. Dorio assists fund raising for local groups and charities. He is also the founding president of a support group for divorced parents and grandparents, Mr. Mom & Mrs. Dad.
