Marina Pankina I had a wonderful experience with my doctor and her team on completion of my immigration medical clearance. The service was extremely efficient and professional from start to finish. Everyone was kind, attentive, and made me feel truly well cared for. It’s clear the whole team is dedicated to providing excellent care, and I am very grateful to everybody. I would highly recommend this practice. Thank you very much, Doctor! Ella Smelyanskaya My family and I were lucky enough to be referred to Dr. Marina Gafanovich almost 20 years ago. I have never experienced a physician that is as thorough and comprehensive, and takes the time to really understand you as an individual. As a health care provider, myself I have seen too many doctors that are more into running a business than taking honest care of patients. Appointments with Dr. Gafanovich are personal, comprehensive, unrushed and readily available. Dr. Gafanovich and her staff clearly stand out above the rest in treating their patients like family. Larisa Sheihet Dr. Gafanovich provided outstanding care throughout my entire experience, from diagnosis to recovery.

She provides a level of personalized service that is is often hard to find - whether it be annual physicals, travel & clinical vaccinations, or last-minute calls.

I feel so lucky to have found Dr. G when I first moved to New York City 4 1/2 years ago. Another doctor had recommended her for some bloodwork that I needed done, and I immediately knew that she would be my general practitioner going forward.

You feel seen & heard, not lost in a big office with lots of doctors & hundreds of patients coming & going. Natalie Shor Dr. Gafanovich is honestly one of the best doctors I’ve ever had.
