Looking for a primary care doc in the neighborhood...

anonymous · June 2005

Hello again. Here is the next in my ongoing series of moving-to-the-neighborhood questions that you all have been so kind in answering.

Can any of you recommend a primary care doctor in the neighborhood? By "in the neighborhood," I mean really anywhere within a reasonable radius of PH -- Park Slope is fine, Fort Greene/Clinton Hill area is fine, really anywhere but Manhattan or Williamsburg is great.

Thanks!

I just found one that I really really like:

Dr. Clark Lopez
Brooklyn Family Medical Care
60 Plaza St. East
Brooklyn, NY 11238
718-783-3919

They have evening hours up until like 7 or 8pm, too, which is highly convenient if you work during the day.

I've not seen Dr. Lopez, only his partner whose name I can't recall at the moment. But everyone there is really nice and they really seem to care about all aspects of your well-being. After going to a teaching clinic for Beth-Israel for several years and getting overworked student doctors who didn't treat my allergies like they were the WORST ALLERGIES EVER, Brooklyn Family Medical Care is a breath of fresh air. Literally.

Is Dr. Lopez boarded in Internal Medicine or Family Practice?

A family practitioner is totally fine for a healthy person getting checkups and basic screening tests, but if there's anything really wrong with you (other than the occasional sniffle and such), you're better off with an internist. Seriously.

Looks like he is Board Certified in Family Practice.

Subject: Dr. Lopez practice

I had an unpleasant experience. I had an appointment and had to wait about an 2 hours. I saw Dr Lopez's associate. He scared me out of my wits and a subsequent trip to my ob/gyn gave me a much better exam and more accurate diagnosis. It is a crowded, high volume practice and I would not go back.
