Patient Stories
Why Patients Recommend Doctors Care
Families trust Doctors Care for board-certified family medicine, PCMH care, and practical visits for everyday health needs across Long Island and New York. Read 46+ Google reviews from patients in Lindenhurst and Long Beach.
The staff here are so friendly and they dont treat you like a product on an assembly line like other doctors do, they take their time and make sure you have said what you wanted to say and you are comfortable with their treatments or plans. What I really love about this place is it is easy for a doctor to see something is wrong but then get tunnel vision and start looking how to fix that issue but forgets that there is a human sitting there, they dont do that here. I have been misdiagnosed by so many other doctors and Heather and Dr. Hoerning both have taken what was wrong and completely find the underlying issue which would be so far from what you would think it would be and by fixing that, you fixed what you came in for. 5/5 stars
