Ira Mickenberg, Robert Cohen, Heather Nisbeth, Fitzhugh Pannill, and Elise Romanik This office, on Main Street in Southbury, is staffed by five internists and serves a geriatric-based population, although the practice also attracts younger patients with extended office hours. The site is spacious, and the pace is reasonable and conducive to teaching. Dr. Mickenberg is the primary preceptor and the resident becomes an integral part of the practice. Dr. Romanik is a recent graduate of the Yale Primary Care Program. These physicians serve as excellent role models of academic generalists.
