Our continued goal at Newton-Wellesley Hospital's Primary Care is to meet our patients' (and their families'!) health care needs and build long-term relationships that provides them with exceptional care and service.



Our Team



Our adult internal medicine practice provides physical examinations, routine health screenings, and preventative care for patients ages 18+.
