About Patient First
At Patient First, we’re redefining what it means to receive primary care. Founded with a clear mission to put patients at the center of their own healthcare experience, our practice offers thoughtful, comprehensive care for individuals and families throughout the Hudson Valley.
We understand that today’s healthcare system can often feel impersonal, rushed, and confusing. That’s why we do things differently. At Patient First, every visit is rooted in trust, honesty, and mutual respect. We take the time to truly listen, answer your questions, and make sure you feel seen—not just treated.
Our practice offers a full range of primary care services, including annual wellness exams, chronic disease management, sick visits, preventive screenings, and more. Whether you're navigating a new diagnosis or simply staying on top of your health, we’re here to provide consistent, compassionate care tailored to your needs.
We believe healthcare should be a partnership—not a transaction. There are no call centers, long wait times, or layers of red tape. Just real communication and a provider who is accessible, attentive, and dedicated to your well-being.
Patient First is a place where healthcare feels human again. Whether you're new to the area, searching for a more personalized experience, or reconnecting after being under Kisha Howard-Schramm's care in the past, we welcome you to join a practice where your voice matters and your health comes first.
