Welcome to the Family Practice Associates of Dryden web site. Our mission is simple: to provide preventive, diagnostic, and therapeutic health services with attention to individual need. We are dedicated to giving family-centered care from birth to later years in an affordable, high quality manner. The advantage of family medicine is that the entire family can be seen at the same practice so that any comprehensive family issues can be dealt with effectively and efficiently.
The practice was started in 1987 in a small two exam room setting allowing a very personal and caring atmosphere. We know most of our patients by their first name-they are our friends, neighbors and fellow community members. Dr. Michael Niziol, a Board Certified Family Physician, and his staff have been dedicated to providing outstanding medical care to everyone from newborns to the elderly and everyone in between for every health care need they may have. Since that time, the practice has undergone an addition in 2000, increasing the number of employees, and expanded the services available. However, what remains most important to us is that we have retained the personal touch in a caring and friendly atmosphere.Not only is the office up to date on the latest medical technologies, but also serves its patients with the caring, friendly attitude typical of the small town it is located in. The Family Practice office is located in Dryden, a scenic small town in Upstate New York. Our hope in creating this web site was to continue to provide our patients with the utmost in care by providing them with a way to have their questions answered more quickly, to become aquinted with our office, staff, and services, and connect you with some of the best healthcare information available online today. We hope that you find what you are looking for here, and if you have any further questions, would like to schedule an appointment, or would like to speak to a staff member, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will help you as soon as possible.
