Choosing the right specialists for your care can be a challenging and overwhelming process. But medical and surgical specialty providers are key to your care because of their focus on specific areas of medicine and certain diseases or surgical procedures. At AdvantageCare Physicians (ACPNY), our Primary Care Providers (PCPs) help you navigate your care by assisting you in selecting the right specialist.

Because your PCP is so familiar with your individual health picture, they’ll be able to make more informed decisions when referring you to another provider for specialty care. Not only will this guidance relieve you of the stress and inconvenience of searching for a specialist on your own, it also ensures you’ll be seeing a qualified provider who will communicate with your PCP for a shared, complete picture of your health.

 

One of the benefits of being a patient at ACPNY is access to a Care Team of highly qualified health care providers across an array of specialties. When you allow your PCP to refer you to an in-practice specialist or one of our closely associated specialty partners, you’ll be seeing a trusted provider who’s been ACPNY-approved to deliver quality “whole you” care. If you’re in need of an eye exam, a colonoscopy, cardiology testing, a PAP smear or mammogram, or another specialty procedure, your PCP can help coordinate your care with an ACPNY provider at our offices.

 

If you think you need a referral for specialty care, or just want to get a checkup, schedule an appointment with your PCP today.

In observance of Christmas and New Year’s, ACPNY offices will be operating on a holiday schedule. For your convenience, select offices will remain open. Learn more.
