Who we are:

The board certified family physicians in the medical group are all faculty members in the Division of Family and Community Medicine. They emphasize a commitment to comprehensive and family-oriented care on a continuing basis. They provide primary care at the Family Practice Centers in Lake Grove and Patchogue.

Our medical group is a NCQA recognized patient-centered medical home, meaning we practice a model of care designed to strengthen relationships between you and your care team. Our team approach works to establish a long term healing relationship with you. The patient-centered medical home results in more personalized, coordinated and efficient care for you and your family.

NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality.  NCQA’s Web site (www.ncqa.org) contains information to help consumers, employers and others make more informed health care choices.
