Goldfarb
Primary Care Clinic
Recognizing
that primary care is the gateway to overall good health, we
have established a comprehensive primary care program. While
the emphasis of this clinic is on prevention, because of the
population served, the clinic staff has developed expertise in
management of patients with complicated medical problems (many
of whom have combination of hypertension, diabetes, high
cholesterol and emphysema). The clinic is open 8am to 5pm,
however the medical staff is accessible on an on-call basis 24
hours a day.

The
program is supported by a wide variety of specialists and
ancillary services, all on site, to provide speedy and
convenient one-stop medical care. The Primary Care Coordinator
can be reached at 617-971-3669.
