anyone have any recommendations for a good primary care doctor in brooklyn?

It can be anywhere in Brooklyn as long as she or he is good. And good means a primary care doctor who is completely and very highly qualified, but has also treated you very well and is nice to deal with, which means professional demeanor, but also well-discerning of your specific health, conditions, ailments, treatments, and is also pleasant to speak to and easy-going in a personable way.

And I realize primary care doctors are rarer these days with specialists abounding. And I've gone exclusively to specialists in the past for minor things reasoning go with the most expert of folks. Problem is, my medical history, which admittedly is not long, is scattered among these specialists, so none of them know my whole history. I'd like to focus that knowledge on one doctor.

So the "primary care" doctor can be a specialist, particularly if there are simply no longer enough doctors considering themselves or listed as primary care physicians to make the search worthwhile.

If that's the case, with family history I guess I'd be looking for the best gastroenterologist in Brooklyn that you've dealt with to be my primary care doc.

Thanks!

I cant give you one in Brooklyn but I can give you a great one in lower Manhattan- who fits everything on your wishlist. She is worth the trip

He has privileges at Maimonides, and his specialties are internal medicine and emergency medicine. He runs a traditional generalist practice, which means he sees all types of folks across all age ranges, and needs from teens to the elderly. My only complaint is that he is in a solo practice so there is sometimes a wait even for scheduled appointments if he is delayed at the hospital on a particular day. His office hours are in the evenings so I find it to be convenient to schedule appointments.
