With close to 44,000 residents, Hicksville is the largest hamlet in the Town of Oyster Bay, and it is one of the most diverse communities on Long Island: roughly a third of residents are Asian, many of them South Asian families who have made the Broadway corridor a destination for groceries and restaurants, alongside long-established Italian, Irish, and German households from the postwar building boom. Dense blocks of capes and ranches, apartment buildings near the station, and a growing number of three-generation homes all share one need: a primary care physician who is actually nearby. PRINE Primary Care Hicksville, at 400 South Oyster Bay Road, Suite 308, is inside the hamlet, so annual physicals, health screenings, vaccinations, and lab testing do not require a drive to the North Shore.
Hicksville is also the busiest LIRR station east of Jamaica, where the Ronkonkoma and Port Jefferson branches meet, and thousands of residents pass through it every weekday. For commuters, that makes early-morning lab draws, same-week acute care, and televisits practical ways to stay on top of health without burning a vacation day. Our primary care team manages hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, conditions that run high in many of Hicksville's communities, with ongoing follow-up, care management, and remote monitoring when a condition needs closer watching. As a physician-owned multispecialty group built around nephrology, PRINE can connect Hicksville patients directly with nephrology, endocrinology, podiatry, or nutrition services when primary care alone is not enough. Call (516) 940-7500 to make an appointment.
Hicksville took its name from LIRR president Valentine Hicks and grew up around the station that opened in 1837, and the railroad is still the center of town life. North Broadway runs past Broadway Commons, the mall being reimagined as an open-air center, and the South Asian shops that locals call Little India. Families gather at Nassau County's Cantiague Park on West John Street for its pool, rink, and nine-hole golf course, and the Hicksville Gregory Museum on Heitz Place keeps the hamlet's history. Primary care on South Oyster Bay Road keeps a checkup close to all of it.
PRINE Primary Care Hicksville is at 400 South Oyster Bay Road, Suite 308, Hicksville, NY 11801, on the east side of the hamlet. From the LIRR station it is a short drive or bus ride east along Old Country Road or Woodbury Road to South Oyster Bay Road. If you are unsure of the best route or parking, call (516) 940-7500 and our staff will help.
Yes, our Hicksville office welcomes new patients of all ages from Hicksville, Jericho, Westbury, and Bethpage. You can request a first appointment online or by calling (516) 940-7500. For that visit, bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications and supplements, and any recent lab results or hospital discharge paperwork so your provider has a complete picture.
Absolutely. Health screening and lab testing are core primary care services at PRINE, and both conditions are common concerns for many Hicksville families. Your provider can check blood pressure, blood sugar, A1C, cholesterol, and kidney function during an annual physical, then build a plan that may include nutrition counseling, medication, care management, or remote monitoring, with referral to PRINE endocrinology or nephrology if needed.
Acute, or sick, care is part of what the Hicksville office does every day. Call (516) 940-7500 and describe your symptoms; we will arrange a same-week visit when possible or a televisit if a video appointment is appropriate. Seeing your own primary care team for colds, infections, and flare-ups keeps your records in one place rather than scattered across walk-in clinics.
Yes. Vaccinations are a listed PRINE primary care service, and our Hicksville team provides routine childhood immunizations required by the Hicksville Union Free School District as well as adult boosters and seasonal flu shots. Bring your prior immunization records, especially if you were vaccinated abroad, so we can update your chart accurately and avoid unnecessary repeat doses.
