Established in 2018, mediDental Care operates in Astoria, Queens, and has served thousands of patients across New York City. The facility’s status under Article 28 of the New York State Public Health Law recognizes its compliance with stringent safety and operational standards required for medical-dental integration. This certification allows licensed medical professionals to collaborate with dental specialists in the same clinical setting, supporting a more streamlined model of patient care. “Our goal has always been to simplify the way people access healthcare,” said Emanuel Inoyatov, Founder and CEO of mediDental Care. “With this approval, patients can see both their primary care provider and their dentist during the same appointment, without sacrificing the quality or comfort of their experience.” Under its Article 28 certification, mediDental Care meets the state’s comprehensive regulatory framework governing facilities that deliver both medical and dental care. This includes compliance with infection control standards, patient safety protocols, and facility design requirements. The clinic’s dual-function exam rooms are equipped to accommodate both dental and primary care procedures, facilitating a more efficient use of patient time and healthcare resources. “This achievement represents a new stage in how primary care and dentistry can work together,” Inoyatov added. “When both providers operate within the same system, patients benefit from greater continuity of care and early identification of health concerns that may otherwise go unnoticed.” The facility provides comprehensive dental care services, including preventive, cosmetic, and restorative treatments, alongside newly authorized medical evaluations and annual physical examinations. This dual offering enables patients to address dental and general health requirements within a single visit, reducing the need for separate appointments across multiple providers. The clinic’s dental and medical teams operate under evidence-based clinical protocols and established public health regulations. Approval by the New York State Department of Health confirms compliance with all inspection, licensing, and facility standards intended to safeguard patient wellbeing and maintain operational quality. mediDental Care continues to serve the Queens community under the parameters of its state accreditation while contributing to broader efforts supporting integrated healthcare delivery in New York. The model prioritizes coordination and accessibility within a regulated framework that may inform similar healthcare practices across the state. Recognition as the only New York State–approved facility authorized to provide both medical and dental treatments in a single exam room represents a procedural development for coordinated care. The certification underscores the potential of regulated integration to improve efficiency and patient experience within established health system standards.
