The Practice
Establishing his private practice in 1991, Dr. Acosta was a forerunner in recognizing that care could be enhanced by offering a well-managed medical home base combined with a traditional model of comprehensive care. As part of this approach, an integrated support team including a nurse practitioner, medical assistant and professional administrative staff ensures that health care needs and requests are managed promptly and efficiently.
Dr. Acosta’s patient-centered approach emphasizes comprehensive preventive care and coordinated diagnostic management. He combines in-depth collection of data and analysis, clear explanations of health and medical conditions, and thorough discussion of treatment options and care plans. The comprehensive level of care and personalized communication coupled with medical knowledge and expertise enable Dr. Acosta to partner with his patients and empower them to make the best decisions for optimizing their health and well-being.
The practice includes the integration of virtual visits by video and phone. At the same time, the practice is proud to provide a traditional model of care that includes ongoing communication with patients, timely accessibility to the doctor and the nurse practitioner, and careful monitoring of patient health status throughout the year. Most primary care services, including diagnostic laboratory tests, are provided onsite and referrals to specialty care and additional diagnostic services are coordinated by Dr. Acosta’s staff.
As needed, referrals are arranged through a vetted network of highly qualified physicians and specialists who are affiliated with leading academic medical centers in New York City and other national centers of excellence. Dr. Acosta works closely with referral specialists to create an organized plan of care that addresses each patient’s individual care needs.
