A primary care or internal medicine doctor focuses only on adult medicine, while family medicine doctors treat children and adults.

• Simply call the doctor’s office, and they will schedule the video appointment over the simple Zoom application.
• Once your doctor schedules a video visit, the doctor’s office will provide you with instructions on how to easily and successfully create an account and prepare for your video visit.

Safe In-Person Appointments

At NYP Medical Group Westchester, we want you to feel confident about returning for your next in-person appointment.  Your health and safety is our top priority so we have expanded our safety measures. We made a number of changes to protect you and our care teams. For example:

• Skip the front desk and waiting room: In all our locations, we have a streamlined check-in process. Before you arrive, forms and co-pays will be processed remotely.  Where possible, you will skip the front desk, avoid unnecessary time in the waiting room and proceed directly to the exam room.
• Disinfection and Cleaning: Our locations are repeatedly and thoroughly sanitized throughout each day.  Exam rooms are cleaned extensively between patient visits.
• COVID Screening: You will be prescreened for Covid-19 by answering a questionnaire in advance of your appointment; we will take your temperature upon arrival. Please wear a mask to your appointment.
• Protective equipment: Our care teams follow CDC guidelines, have the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) and wear it at all times. We have also established screening and testing protocols for our care teams to ensure they are completely healthy to treat you.
• Spacing out appointments: We are allowing for additional time between patient appointments in order to minimize the number of patients in the office at one time and allow for more time to disinfect the office.
