As a patient of OB/Gyn Associates, you may have seen or
heard something about Community Care Physicians. As
an important part of this practice, we thought we should
tell you a little about us.
Community Care Physicians is a private network of specialists
and primary care physicians with offices throughout the Capital
District. Our physicians offer a wide range of medical
services, but also work with local healthcare providers,
hospitals and tertiary care centers to ensure the full range
of care.
Many of our physicians have joined our network for one reason: the
opportunity to practice medicine, unburdened by the business
and bureaucracy of health care.
“…we believe we serve you best by allowing
you and your doctor to make decisions concerning your health
care and the healthcare needs of your family.”
And that’s what we do. At Community Care Physicians,
our administrative staff and business management experts
are dedicated to supporting the activities of your doctor’s
office at every level so that your doctor can spend more
time with you and your family and less time with paperwork.
Unlike a managed care organization or an insurance company,
Community Care Physicians is owned and governed by physicians. This
means your doctor is part of a team of local doctors making
decisions on how to develop the best care and services possible.
From time to time you may see a billing statement or patient
satisifaction survey from us. But that’s all. At
Community Care Physicians, we believe we serve you best by
allowing you and your doctor to make decisions concerning
your health care and the healthcare needs of your family.

Our Mission Statement
Our mission is to provide excellent medical care, both therapeutic
and preventive, to individuals and families in the Capital
Region and beyond. We treat our patients and our fellow
staff with respect, compassion and dignity. We believe
in working with our patients as partners in the pursuit of
their health and well being.
How We Dispense Care
Our providers are dedicated to providing excellent medical
care for the entire family. As board certified, fully
licensed family practitioners, they are trained to diagnose
and treat a range of acute and chronic medical conditions
in patients of all ages.
Treating the “whole person” and not simply providing
episodic care, is key to their goal of providing complete
wellness. By taking the time necessary to get to know
each patient beyond their immediate clinical needs, our providers
can offer their patients customized health care management
services. The result? Our patients typically
benefit from healthier outcomes over the course of their
lives.
