About Our Needham Primary Care Practice

BIDHC-Needham, established in 2004, is a highly accessible, comfortable and personable primary care practice. Our community health center features eight dedicated primary care physicians (PCPs) who are closely affiliated with Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital-Needham, which is located just two blocks from the office. Our Needham doctors have close relationships with the hospital's medical doctors and are very knowledgeable about its new and expanded services.
