Dr. DiMartinis recognizes the significant change in medicine right now, and “hopes to provide a friendly face to the community, a physician that patients can rely on to provide compassionate care as we navigate the challenges of the current environment.”
When not caring for her patients, you may find her outdoors enjoying her garden or picking up a racquet. In this weather, she’s more likely to be indoors cooking, reading, and enjoying time with her two high-school age children.
William Kiley Jr., DO
Kiley, Jr. joins the staff at Surgery Associates of York Hospital at the end of January.
Dr. Kiley earned his BA at Saint Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, and DO at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City, Missouri.

Ms. Lizewski’s earlier nursing years were spent caring for patients in both mental health and emergency department settings, while her more recent experience has been as a nurse practitioner in pre-surgical evaluation, primary care and workplace-based health. She is passionate about preventative care and health education, has enjoyed mentoring nurse practitioner students, and participated for many years as a member of the American Lung Association Massachusetts Leadership Board.
When not caring for patients, you’ll find her biking, hiking and at the beach with her husband, two children and loyal dog.

Rivard is now seeing patients at York Hospital’s Center for Older Adult Care in South Berwick.
Mr. Rivard earned his BS in Biology with a minor in Psychology from Northeastern University in Boston, followed by an MS in Physician Assistant Studies from South University, in Richmond, Virginia.

His hope is to help his patients reach their short and long-term health care goals, while enjoying a healthy and satisfying life.
