Where are your doctors located?
I moved to Long Island from Brooklyn 16 months ago. After living here 7 months, just before COVID shut down in March I went for an annual physical with a primary doctor near my new house on LI.
I see a Gastroenterologist for the last 5 years & her office is in Brooklyn. I see an Eye Specialist for the last 10 years & their office is in Brooklyn.
My obgyn, dentist & Neurologist are all located in Manhattan near my office. I’ve been going to all of these doctors for 10+ years.
I see all of my specialist twice a year, except my ob.
I have been reluctant to find new specialist because I have a great long term relationship with all of them but this year with COVID it was hard to travel to see them since I am still working from home.
Did you or do you think it would be a good idea to find doctors near my home? TIA

All my doctors are close by my house- all affiliated with stony brook and I live a few minutes from the hospital- so locally!
If you like your doctor and Brooklyn/ manhattan aren’t too far to go a few times a year I would stick with your doctor. I’ve always lived where I am but if I moved into Nassau I would move my doctors. I like convenience! But I know many who stick with their doctors because of ongoing care etc.

Re: Where are your doctors located?
I was going back and forth when I moved here from Brooklyn 11 years ago. It became a pain in the butt with traffic on days they had appts available for me.
It took me years to find drs I was happy with but I have finally collected all new drs here. My primary is close to home. So is my obgyn. But my specialists who I see 1-2x a year are in nassau county. 20 min drive from me, so no need to find someone closer. It was most Important for me to find a primary close because I see him more than any other dr (sick visits, follow up blood work, etc)

Most of my doctors are within 15 minutes of me, some are within 2 miles. My ophthalmologist is the furthest at about 20/25 minutes.
