Our Approach to Primary Care
Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care brings together board certified physicians who provide comprehensive, personalized primary care for adults across all stages of life. From preventative health screenings and wellness assessments to the management of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, our approach goes beyond treating symptoms—we focus on your complete health journey. Using state-of-the-art diagnostics and evidence-based treatments, our team addresses not only your immediate health concerns but also your long-term wellness goals through nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management.
Why Choose Montefiore Einstein?
Every primary care appointment delivers the innovation of an academic medical center, its renowned specialty programs and an integrated healthcare system.
Montefiore Einstein has been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for the past 11 years as a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) and currently holds the highest Level 3 distinction.
We have also received the PCMH Distinction in Behavioral Health Integration, highlighting our focus on integrated, comprehensive behavioral health services. We are the first network to integrate behavioral health into primary care for adults and children.
Unparalleled Longevity-Focused Care
Our primary care practice is distinguished by our commitment to whole-person wellness and longevity-focused care. Our physicians are trained in health coaching methodologies that help you make meaningful, lasting changes to your daily habits—not through willpower alone, but through understanding your motivations, identifying barriers and leveraging your personal strengths. This wellness-focused approach delivers patient-driven, long-lasting results tailored to your needs and life circumstances, making preventative care more impactful than traditional symptom-focused medicine.
We’ll coordinate any additional care or specialized services you may need, bringing together experts from across our health system to ensure your care is fully integrated and comprehensive.
Primary Care Services We Offer
Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care primary care physicians provide comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique health needs and goals, emphasizing prevention, early detection and the management of chronic conditions through lifestyle interventions and, when appropriate, medication.
Every new patient visit includes a comprehensive intake that assesses their past medical history, family history, current medications and health concerns. Beyond the clinical evaluation, we incorporate a wellness assessment that examines the four pillars of health: nutrition, movement, sleep and stress. We also explore your social connections, sources of meaning and joy and your personal health goals for the year ahead. This holistic approach allows us to develop a personalized care plan that addresses not just your current conditions but your long-term health and quality of life.
Preventive care is at the heart of our practice and centers on a dialogue with our patients about the evidence-based, preventive health services we offer to screen and prevent future illness. Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care provides advanced diagnostics, including laboratory testing and imaging studies, as well as comprehensive cancer screenings, routine vaccinations, and cardiovascular risk assessments, such as coronary artery calcium scans, tailored to your age, family history and lifestyle.
Cardiovascular disease, while one of the leading health concerns, is also one of the most preventable. Our physicians provide comprehensive cardiovascular risk assessment and management, treating conditions like hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes through both lifestyle modification and medication. We help you understand your personal risk factors based on your habits, family history and laboratory results, and work with you to develop a medication plan and wellness strategy for long-term cardiovascular health.
Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care provides expert care for metabolic and endocrine conditions, including diabetes, prediabetes, thyroid disorders, perimenopause, menopause, osteoporosis and osteopenia. For patients navigating hormonal changes, we offer hormone replacement therapy and comprehensive bone health management. Our approach integrates medication management with lifestyle interventions to optimize your metabolic health and support healthy aging.
Weight management is an individualized journey that benefits from both medical expertise and compassionate support. Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care physicians offer comprehensive weight management services that include discussions of health habits, medication options and personalized strategies tailored to your specific situation and goals. Whether you’re seeking guidance on nutrition, exploring medication-assisted weight loss or working to maintain a healthy weight, we provide evidence-based care in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
Your mental and physical health are inseparable, which is why Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care has integrated mental healthcare into primary care. Our physicians can independently assist with the diagnosis and management of common mental health concerns, including major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder and insomnia. We provide medication management for these conditions, and for more complex mental health needs, we can coordinate referrals to specialized behavioral health providers within the Montefiore Einstein network.
Longevity-focused care emphasizes maintaining your health and optimizing your quality of life as you age. Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care physicians help you develop longevity strategies based on the four pillars of health: nutrition, movement, sleep and stress management. For patients without diagnosed medical conditions, this means proactive wellness planning to maintain vitality. For those managing chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes or osteoporosis, longevity care involves medication management and lifestyle interventions designed to extend your healthy years and prevent complications. We frame all of our conversations, from bone health to cardiovascular disease management, around helping you live a longer, healthier life.
As we age, our healthcare needs become more complex, requiring thoughtful assessment and coordinated care. Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care physicians provide comprehensive wellness screenings for older adults, including fall risk assessments, cognitive evaluations, home safety discussions, as well as referrals for vision and hearing screenings. We help you maintain quality of life and navigate the challenges of aging with dignity and independence, coordinating with specialists, rehabilitation services and community resources as needed.
Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care provides confidential, nonjudgmental sexual health services, including contraceptive counseling and administration, infection screening and infection prevention strategies. Our physicians are here to support your sexual health and well-being at every stage of life, offering personalized guidance and medical care in a safe, respectful environment.
Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care primary care physicians diagnose and treat a wide range of common infectious diseases, including urinary tract infections, upper respiratory infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, ear infections, skin infections and pharyngitis. We provide timely evaluation, evidence-based treatment and follow-up care to help you recover quickly and fully.
Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care provides counseling and medication treatment for tobacco and alcohol use disorders.
