Internal Medicine & Primary Care
Comprehensive primary care and cardiac visits — delivered by our dual-trained physician assistant team under the direct supervision of Dr. Merwin Richard, MD, across all AMG locations.
Your Health. One Place.
Primary care at Advanced Medical Group is delivered by our experienced physician assistant team — all trained in both primary care and cardiology under the direct supervision of Dr. Merwin Richard, MD. This dual training means a single visit with your AMG PA can address everything from a routine physical to a cardiac follow-up, EKG review or blood pressure management — no separate appointment needed.
Our provider team covers all AMG locations across Hudson County, with same-day appointments available daily — so patients in Jersey City, North Bergen, Union City and West New York always have access to both primary and cardiac-level care.
Specialist-Level Oversight on Every Visit
Every PA at AMG is supervised by Dr. Richard — a board-certified interventional cardiologist with 35+ years at Mount Sinai and Columbia. Patients benefit from specialist oversight without a separate cardiology referral. Same-day escalation to Dr. Richard is available at every location.
Trained in Primary Care & Cardiology
Our PAs are well trained and experienced in both disciplines — a combination most practices don't offer. One visit covers your physical, chronic disease management and cardiac follow-up together.
- Annual physicals, preventive care and chronic disease management
- Cardiac follow-up visits, EKG review and blood pressure management
- Pacemaker and arrhythmia follow-up with Dr. Richard's direct oversight
- Holter monitor prescriptions and cardiac medication management
- Direct escalation to Dr. Richard for echo, stress tests and advanced cardiac care
