Internal Medicine · Brooklyn, NY
When was the last time a doctor listened long enough to hear what you actually need?
Dr. Elizabeth Szilagyi practices a different kind of internal medicine — one built on continuity, not rush. Each visit is an opportunity to understand the whole picture: your health history, your concerns, and the life that surrounds them.
About the Practice
Internal medicine is the discipline of seeing patients as完整的 — not as collections of symptoms to triage, but as people whose health is shaped by everything they carry into the exam room. That is the standard Dr. Szilagyi sets for every encounter.
Based in the heart of Brooklyn, the practice serves adults seeking a physician who will take the time to understand not only what is wrong, but why — and how to help you live better, not just longer.

About Dr. Szilagyi
A physician who treats the person, not just the diagnosis
Dr. Elizabeth Szilagyi is a board-certified internal medicine physician practicing in Brooklyn, New York. She completed her medical degree and residency training with a focus on comprehensive adult care, and has spent over a decade refining a practice that places patients at the center of every decision.
Her approach is grounded in evidence-based medicine, but it is guided by something harder to quantify: genuine attention. She believes that the best outcomes begin with a thorough understanding of who the patient is — their medical history, their daily realities, and what they hope to achieve.
The practice operates on the principle that preventive care and chronic disease management are most effective when built on trust. Patients who return do so because they feel heard, informed, and partnered with their own care.
