Lifecare is a group practice. The UR Medicine site lists it as Primary Care – Lifecare Medical Associates, with four physicians: Dr. Grace Freier in pediatrics, Dr. Elizabeth Osborn and Dr. Andrew Reese in family medicine, and Dr. Philipp Wirth in internal medicine. The page also lists six nurse practitioners and one physician assistant, David Stobie, PA-C. The practice is part of UR Medicine Finger Lakes Health.
Dr. Timothy J. Ryan founded Lifecare Medical Associates in 1979, according to an essay on the New York State Senate website. The essay, whose web address is dated 2016, says the practice stepped in after hospital closures left a gap in care across the central Finger Lakes. It also mentions a recent partnership with Finger Lakes Health, which it says let patients see more specialists in Waterloo without long travel.
The practice lists routine physicals and health screenings, sick visits, chronic disease management such as diabetes and high blood pressure, same-day appointments, immunizations and flu shots, prescriptions and refills, and allergy shots by appointment. In June 2025 it announced that nurse practitioner Camerin Scaglione, MSN, FNP-C, was joining the team, and said it accepts patients of all ages and offers same-day and telehealth appointments. In March 2026, Geneva General Cardiology Associates began seeing patients at Lifecare, with cardiologist Dr. Rawa Sarji providing care there.
Patients can schedule online, and registered patients can use a patient portal. The practice lists Medicare, Medicaid and many commercial plans as accepted. The office is at 1991 Balsley Road in Seneca Falls, and the phone is (315) 539-9229. For after-hours or weekend non-emergency care, the practice points patients to Seneca Falls Urgent Care, a separate service in the same building, and to Geneva Urgent Care on Pre-Emption Road.
