About Us

DocCare® is a New York based multi-specialty medical practice with office locations in Ridgewood, Queens, Bellerose, Merrick and Hauppauge, Long Island. Founded in 1996, DocCare® has over 23 physician providers who support 18 medical specialties. Our practitioners and staff are committed to providing superior medical care and patient satisfaction in all areas of service. DocCare® is recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). This represents a new way that health care is delivered to our patients, putting YOU at the center of our care team. We listen to your health care concerns and coordinate your care with specialists as needed including Behavioral Health, if warranted. In order to make this approach work to your best advantage, you should inform us whenever you utilize any other health care providers or an emergency room.

 

With convenient office hours and provider availability, DocCare® offers its patients full access to primary care, pediatrics, specialty care, diagnostic testing, and leading-edge treatments in medicine. DocCare® has board certified physicians in the specialty areas of cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, gastroenterology, and general surgery, just to name a few. DocCare® Office Based Surgery Division, where our physicians perform office-based colonoscopies and endoscopies, is accredited by The Joint Commission. Our providers are on call for emergencies 24 hours a day and maintain privileges at various community and teaching hospitals, including Long Island Jewish Medical Center and New York Hospital of Queens.

 

In this ever-changing healthcare industry, DocCare® is committed to keeping the traditional core values of the doctor-patient relationship intact. We strive to deliver the highest quality care to you, the patient, in the most respectful, courteous and caring manner. We will make every effort to explain your healthcare clearly to you, with the goal of obtaining the best decisions for you in a collaborative manner.

 

DocCare® has implemented a certified electronic health record (EHR) in our office locations to have instant access to your medical information by all providers. Your medical history, lab results, medications, and other treatment documentation are shared through the EHR, allowing for a streamlined approach to your care. As always, we maintain the highest standards with respect to patient privacy with our EHR.

 

DocCare® accepts most major insurance plans including Medicare Part B, most commercial insurances, a variety of managed Medicaid plans, workers compensation, no fault, and child health plus products. We also have relationships with a large number of corporate companies, where we provide Department of Transportation (DOT) physicals and drug screening.

 

DocCare®’s corporate name is AMB Medical Services, P.C. All correspondence with insurance companies (e.g. claims, referrals, pre-authorizations, etc…) is done under AMB Medical Services, P.C.
