Internal Medicine with
Dr. Jeffrey Elfenbein
Dr. Elfenbein is a concierge internal medicine specialist in Seaford, NY. He graduated from Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1990 and has over 30 years of experience.
Why Concierge Medicine?
Concierge medicine is about treating patients like family…
In a concierge medicine practice doctors commit to limit the number of patients in their practice to ensure adequate time and availability for each patient, and to provide an enhanced level of care to help patients achieve optimal wellness.
Extended, unrushed visits enable physicians to spend meaningful time with patients, build strong relationships, and work collaboratively to provide more comprehensive, proactive care than in traditional practices.
Member Benefits
Direct communications after hours
I want you to call me with urgent medical problems that occur outside of my regular office hours. I will use my reasonable best efforts to be available to hear from you when you are ill or injured, to coordinate your care. My goal is to reduce emergency room and urgent care clinic visits.
Longer visits, little to no waiting
Office visits will start promptly with little or no waiting in a wait or exam room. Appointments will generally be scheduled for 30 minutes, and Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment appointments will be scheduled for 60 minutes. These are twice the length of time of a typical traditional practice. My goal is to afford you the time to thoroughly address all your questions and concerns, regardless of the reason for your visit.
Continuity of care, from the doctor who knows you best
With rare exceptions you will always be seen by me. Unlike traditional practices where you may need to schedule an appointment with the first available doctor, nurse practitioner or physician’s assistant, you will always be seen by me.
A strong focus on preventive medicine
As part of my commitment to your long-term health and wellness, my philosophy is to educate you about the importance of fitness, weight management, and healthy living. In addition to the clinical services I already offer through my practice, I will assist you to identify and evaluate wellness providers and offerings. This will support your effort to take an active role in managing and maintaining your good health.
Enhanced coordination of care
I will help you navigate the complex maze of modern healthcare. This includes coordinating your care with specialists when needed, ensuring all aspects of your condition and overall health are considered.
