Firstcare Medical Center

Rapid Covid 19 tests are available at FirstCare Medical Center. The results of these tests are available the same day the test is done. A telemedicine appointment is required before having this test performed. These tests are not as accurate as a PCR test, so we recommend doing both if you want a rapid test. Both tests can be done at the same time. 845-691-3627 x 4.

Pediatrics at FirstCare Medical Center. Children are a priority at our office. We have designed rooms to make children comfortable, and our providers are experienced in making the pediatric patient experience a gentle and stress free one. Most children don't like going to the doctor (who does?) but at our office we make the visit as pleasant as it can be. Parents tell us their children actually ask to go to FirstCare when they are sick. Rooms like this one may be one of the reasons. We see children in both our urgent care and our family practice. Call us today! 845-691-DOCS.

Wishing you all a Happy Spring! This table in our lobby was decorated by our wonderful Assistant office manager Lori Amato! Thank you Lori!

Covid 19 Where are we in the pandemic? I believe we can safely say we are somewhere in the second half of the pandemic. Certainly the end is in sight, but there is a lot left in this game. We are seeing decreasing numbers around the country overall. Testing at our office is less than half what it was at the peak; currently about 60 tests daily. However in the last two weeks we have started to see more positive tests than we were, but it may be just a blip rather than a tre...Continue reading

TeleMedicine at FirstCare. Also known as virtual visits, the ability to communicate with a medical provider from outside of the office is here to stay. It is fast and convenient, and for many of our patients needs it works quite well. Insurance covers TeleMedicine visits and for uninsured patients the cost is $89.00. Why use FirstCare TeleMedicine? For the past thirteen years, FirstCare has been a place that the community has come to know and trust. The same providers will ...be taking care of you over the internet that take care of you at our office. And if the problem requires an in-person visit, patients can drive over to FirstCare and be seen without the expense of a second visit. Other TeleMedicine services will put you in touch with a provider that may not be local or even in the same state. What are common conditions that people use TeleMedicine for? Here are just a few: Covid Testing. A quick phone conversation with one of our providers will set you up for a same-day Covid test at our office. Respiratory Infections. Wondering if your symptoms might be Covid, the Flu or just a common cold? This can be discussed with a provider from the comfort of your home. Tick Bites. Bitten by a tick and are interested in prophylactic antibiotics? No problem. Prescriptions can be sent right in to your pharmacy. Prescription Refills. Can't reach your own provider? We can refill almost any prescription in minutes without an in-person office visit. Poison Ivy and rashes. Many can be diagnosed and treated via a video chat. What complaints are not appropriate for TeleMedicine? Certainly chest pain, abdomen pain, severe pain of unknown origin and possible stroke are just a few of the complaints that are difficult to diagnose and treat via video. When in doubt, just call us! 845-691-3627 extension 4.
