About
Bio
We are a small, intimate family medicine office that is in many ways same and different from the regular office you used to see.
We are very efficient when you want us to be.
But we also take the time to answer your questions and to be involved in your health in a deeper, more meaningful way
then any group practice every could or....would.
While life in New York City is fast paced and adaptive, we put you the patient in the center of our mission.
Have a great day.
