Your family practice doctor is often your primary care physician. When you choose a doctor from family practice, you get a generalist who makes it a priority to keep you and your family healthy through childhood diseases, minor accidents, and adult aging issues. Your physician is the first line of defense against illnesses and ailments for all members of your family, regardless of age, gender, or lifestyle.
Note:Âé¶¹´«Ã½ in Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Bronx accepts all major insurance plans, including Medicare, Medicaid, HIP, Emblemhealth, GHI, MetroPlus, and Fidelis. Our top-rated doctors provide a full range of medical procedures and are among the best primary care physicians (PCPs) in the region.
Family Practice
The primary care practice has a significant advantage over other medical specialties: their relationship with you and your family. By building that relationship over the years, your doctor can know your medical history, which helps him make faster diagnoses and more targeted treatment plans. This advantage applies to all your family members too.
Unlike a gastroenterologist or cardiologist, a primary care doctor has a much broader knowledge base. He may not know as much about your digestive tract or your heart, but he knows enough to recognize a medical issue when it arises. Your doctor can investigate and diagnose physiological problems and behavioral issues. His knowledge includes:
The most up-to-date medical research;
A firm understanding of all diseases;
Knowing the functionality and physiology of each organ;
Knowledge of the medical problems that relate to your family at any age;
Study in ailments that are particular to men, women, adolescents, and children.

Century Medical on Livingston street in Brooklyn is a professional medical practice. My first visit there was met with a professional office staff who are friendly and efficient. Dr. Dvorkina is an excellent practitioner who listens, asks clarifying questions, and makes you feel at ease. She made me feel comfortable and gave me a comprehensive plan for steps in my treatment. She’s a great doctor and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a primary care physician.

Loved this clinic and everyone there, the people I saw in the front desk were very sweet and helpful and helped me get appointments quickly. Jessica Orchier NP (for primary care) and Inga Melnikova DNP (for urology) were both excellent, very friendly, and informative! I’m happy to have found my new medial center.

I had my first visit with this PCP, and I couldn’t be happier with the care I received. They took the time to listen to all of my concerns, answered my questions without rushing me, and made me feel genuinely heard.
What really stood out to me was how thorough they were. They ordered the appropriate blood work, scheduled a sonogram, and made sure I had a clear plan for follow-up care. I left feeling like my health truly mattered and that they wanted to get to the root of my concerns rather than just brush them aside.
It’s rare to find a provider who makes you feel this comfortable and cared for. I’m very grateful for the experience and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a compassionate, attentive, and thorough primary care physician.

How to Choose a Primary Care Doctor
You need a doctor you can trust with your family’s health. Choose a doctor who listens and takes the time to answer your questions. When you trust that your primary care doctor has your family’s best interests in mind, you’re more likely to follow his guidance and advice. Of course, your doctor’s credentials are important. All doctors must:
Earn a postgraduate doctoral degree, the MD, which is a four-year course of study;
Prove himself in the field during a two-residency program;
Get a license to practice in the state of New York;
Become board certified in family practice.
The Role of a Family Medicine Doctor
Your choice of a family practice physician sets the tone for your family’s entire health care. Many insurance companies require a primary care physician, through which you can get appointments with specialists. But more than that, your family doctor provides primary or first-stop care. When something’s bothering you or one of your family members, the first call goes to your doctor, not to the hospital.
Your physician provides the majority of the medical care you need. He can treat wounds and prescribe medications. He can recommend lifestyle changes to help you prevent disease. A good primary care specialist can save your life and save you money by delivering appropriate care at the right time.
When Your Primary Care Doctor May Refer You to a Specialist
Medical specialties have their place in the health care system, and they deliver needed services. But you don’t need a specialist to look at your son’s scraped elbow or the pain in your side. At least not yet. If it’s a serious enough injury or illness, your doctor recommends a specialist or even a trip to the hospital. Often, he can solve the issue right there in his office.
Having a family doctor as your primary care physician means you and your family get ongoing and comprehensive medical care. No doctor makes house calls anymore, but your doctor can get you in to see him when he knows you need him. And that’s the value of having a relationship with your family physician.

Comprehensive & Preventive Primary Care
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, family practice doctors account for about 25% of initial doctor visits. Your family physician incorporates three aspects into a single medical practice:
Medical knowledge from education and experience;
Diagnostic and practical medical skills;
An inquisitive process for uncovering sources and reasons for medical difficulties.
It’s the third point above that makes family practice doctors so valued. To seek a comprehensive picture of your health, your doctor needs to learn more about you than your pain. There are family dynamics, job stresses, and physical and emotional tendencies. All of these become clear to a doctor who knows you and has developed a relationship with you. It’s a holistic approach that makes your doctor so crucial to your family’s overall health and well-being.
At Century Medical & Dental, you’ll find primary care doctors who want to get to know you and your family. They see the value in building relationships. They want to take care of your family as they grow. They want to help you guard against preventable diseases and repair broken limbs when necessary.
