About Us

Dr. Marina Gafanovich is a board-certified internal medicine physician that is affiliated with New York Presbyterian (NYP) and the Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan. She received her medical degree from the world renowned Sackler School of Medicine in 2002 and has a thriving practice in Manhattan's Upper East Side. Dr. Gafanovich��s practice takes a humanist approach to medicine. She does not believe in treating diseases, she believes in treating people. Dr. Gafanovich spends a great deal of time with each and every patient to assess outside influence to medical issues, the patient��s lifestyle, their beliefs, and works to outline a treatment plan that does more than address the symptoms, but works at the core of the problem to address overall health and wellness. Dr. Gafanovich believes that doctors and patients are partners in the journey to wellness. You will always be treated as an individual when you walk through her doors, not just a number. She promises you prompt and courteous service. You will never wait more than 15 minutes before being shown to an exam room. http://www.abms.org http://www.apta.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=ABPTS&Template=/aptaapps/speccertdirectory/selectccsform.cfm

Checkup

Dr Gafanovich prescribed many unnecessary tests for my perfectly health 24 year old daughter; including a hearing test. My daughter has the best hearing in the family. She can hear a whisper across the house. The test was over $100 and was NOT covered by her insurance. Doctor. prescribed a whole range of unnecessary tests designed to increase her revenue - including an EKG (also not covered by insurance). My 24 year old daughter has perfect blood pressure and absolutely no symptoms of heart disease.

PCP for several years.

Dr. Gafonovich was my PCP for several years. I stayed with her because she prescribed the meds I need. The only thing this doctor is interested in is the money. I would get calls from her assistant say, "the doctor would like to see you again next month." When I asked why, there was no response. She does all kinds of unnecessary testing, as part of her yearly physical, only because she knows she can bill the insurance company for it. When it comes to referrals she has virtually no list. All she does is refer to Cornell Weill. She will not give you a name of another provider unless you see her first. This is a bit difficult in an emergency , especially on a weekend, when she is unreachable. I could go on and on but will simply say, FIND SOMEONE ELSE.

The took my Cigna insurance although there was a little mess with my coverage. The doc's billing department quickly resolved all issues by contacting my carier directly.

Dr. Gafanovich took my vitals and asked me to undergo physical test which was done mostly by her medical associate. Both ladies were really knowledgeable, and I felt comfortable doing what they asked for. I asked to be called with my lab tests, and one of the office staff did that in a matter of days. i had to come for a short follow-up, which was not a big deal.

I had to go to India on a business trip, and I was looking for a travel vaccination center to avoid any health issues. I found Dr. Gafanovich online, and I was quite impressed by her credentials. The staff was quite polite in setting my appointment, but also requested to undergo a complete physical exam - which I agreed to.

Went to see the doctor a few days later. The office is quite new, lots of space even with more than a few people waiting in the line. Dr. Gafanovich is a very friendly doctor who immediately won my trust. She guided me through all the possible health concerns in India, based on her personal experience and experience of her patients. Dr. Marina made me feel very relaxed and comfortable, and the checkup went very smoothly. I had my blood tests delivered to me within 48 hours. Fortunately, there was nothing to worry about and I didn't have to come for a follow-up. Overall, I think I will continue to have Dr. Gafanovich as my primary care doctor. I liked her attitude and professional skills.

I called for Vaccinations for travelling to Mexico. It went smoothly as planned.

Decided to comply with DOH advise before heading out to Cancun with my family. I actually had to undergo a complete physicai exam - which I believe is a very important screening tool. Dr. G office is located just nearby. I had no issues during the appointment.

I had an annual physical + treatment for bronchitis.

The staff was very efficient when I arrived as a new patient. I was in to see the nurse on time for my appointment. She was pleasant and efficient running routine tests. I did have to wait longer than desired between the nurse and Dr. Grafanovich, but I'm willing to write this off to an end of day appointment in the middle of cold & flu season. When I did see the Doctor, I had her full attention. She was detailed, caring, and professional. At the end, she told me the office would call to follow up by the end of the week. They called the next day.. good follow up. I'm very happy with my new primary care doctor.

She is my primare care physician. I went on a "sick call". Normally I only do my health exam once a year, but that was one of the emergency http://my.angieslist.com/AngiesList/MyAngie/ReportOnCompany/Default.aspx?LzF9WmbC9wMX2uQyzClgM1HhiUnZ0%2fQ0O8jQp%2fvCtQhmF9W%2fmf1mMn3dttfbmdl6appointments.

She's practically the best doctor I've ever seen. Very professional and reserved, but caring at the same time. I have diabetes, so a regular doctor visit is a must. Maybe that's only an illusion, but she seems to treat me with a great deal of respect. I am a simple "follow-up" patient and I guess I am not the huge source of billing revenue, so that's very pleasant to still be or at least feel like "preferred" patient. It is very important to have your health stored in some caring hands with that kind of condition. The staff is very friendly and gentle, even though I am not subscribed to a concierge service. I am always able to secure an appointment on the same day when I call. The location si a few blocks away from me, but it's worth it.

Searched online in search for a new primary care doctor (my annual physical was due and my previous Internist retired). She had so many positive reviews, so I decided to check in.

Dr. Marina Gafanovich is a very nice young professional and good physician. I booked my appointment online that was confirmed in a flash. The office was very clean and looked brand new (probably was renovated). The assistant had apparently done thousands of checkups before, as she was very confident and precise. I had to wait for only several minutes before the call, but I might have skipped the rush hour. Dr. Gafanovich did answer all of my questions and did not try to end the visit early. In fact, she spent enough time to make the first aquaintance and get to know me as her patient. The follow-up was quick, but very informative. I now rest assured my health is "up-to-date".

Dr. Marina Gafanovich is my primary care doctor.

You do have to be prepared to spend time in the waiting room because it's a long wait. She is a good doctor.
