Finding a Doctor

Hi there, My family and I recently relocated to Brooklyn from London and we are finding it tough to navigate the US healthcare system. I am looking for what we would have called a GP practice in the UK: a healthcare center where you can make an appointment if you have a sore throat or need your blood pressure checked. You would also get your flu vaccines and general health assessments done there. If there is something more serious or complex going on, they will refer you on to a specialist at hospital. How do Primary Care Physicians generally work? I went to see one who was highly rated by my health insurance review site but she was not helpful or remotely professional in her treatment of me and I'm feeling a bit lost within the system. Ideally I would like to find a group practice of primary care physicians that functions in a similar way to my daughter's pediatrician office: a group of doctors and nurses who will see you whenever you need and do in-house testing and treatment for basic ailments. Does that exist in NYC? Could you advise me how and where to look?  Many thanks in advance
