Community Care Physicians is a physician-owned, physician-run multi-specialty medical group with more than 180 doctors and other clinicians practicing out of 35 offices throughout the New York Capital District. True to its name, Community Care Physicians is an organization dedicated to ensuring that physicians oversee and manage all aspects of patient care. Over the past 20 years Community Care has grown because both doctors and patients recognize the special value created when the physician is free to focus on the practice of medicine. At Community Care, our physicians have one primary goal: to provide outstanding medical services to every patient they see. The size of our organization allows us to provide business support to all of our doctors, so that they don't need to spend part of their day dealing with salespeople and headaches such as billing, scheduling, or other management projects , as is the case in other doctors' offices. Community Care Physicians does all of the behind-the-scenes work, leaving our physicians to devote all their time to quality medicine. Dr. Shirish Parikh, chairman and chief executive officer, says consolidating doctors under one company umbrella just makes sense , both as a business and health care provider. "In the late 1980s and early 1990s, physicians started getting more and more distracted with management issues, insurance issues and other outside forces tugging at them from all directions," Parikh says.
