David Sosnowik MD is a board certified physician in Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology in practice for over 35 years in Forest Hills. During that time it has become obvious that the mounting insurance, regulatory and financial burdens were robbing the doctor-patient relationship of its most precious asset – time. The ability to provide personalized, quality care in today’s volume driven health care system is almost impossible. Dr. Sosnowik discusses the evolving healthcare landscape and an alternative model of care to preserve the doctor-patient relationship. He has chosen to practice his profession with attention to proactive preventive care, focus on diet and lifestyle changes, things most rushed practices are unable to address in the brief period of time allowed for a visit. Affiliation with the national leader in quality focused care – MDVIP – has enabled working towards the goal of getting patients healthy and staying healthy for as long as possible in a patient-centered, focused practice, instead of an assembly line.
