We provide primary care to our patients. Some patients have more complicated problems that require the attention of specialized doctors. If we think a specialized doctor could help you better, we may give you a free or reduced-cost referral to Bellevue Hospital Center or another appropriate clinic. For example, we are able to refer patients to orthopedics, neurology, gynecology, podiatry, dermatology, urology, gastroenterology, hematology, ophthalmology, and psychiatry, among other clinics. We can also refer to a mental health specialist at the Institute of Family Health.
If you get a referral, we will schedule your appointment, and give you all the instructions you need to see your new doctor. You will not have to pay for your first appointment at Bellevue Hospital Center if you received your referral through the NYCFC. If you need further specialist care, we ask that you return to the NYCFC where we can assess your condition, and we may be able to issue you a new referral.
