I'm satisfied with price\quality ratio. The atmosphere is
comfortable and the staff is always ready to help, the attitude towards patients is great. I visited her office for many times having different problems and the quality of her services was always very high. Now I want to sign a contract for one year. Dr. Gafanovich you are the best!

My recommendation

My friends recommended me to visit Dr. Gafanovich and I'm glad they did so. The perspective of complicated and difficult procedure of

treatment scared me a bit. But her professionalism, comfortable and

calm atmosphere of her office, friendly staff convinced me. And now I visit Dr.Gafanovich with pleasure.

They know what they do, really.

When my blood pressure drops I can do nothing. I lie like a log. I couldn’t hold it anymore. So I consulted the new york doctors my friend told me about. Of course in my age nothing actually can be treated fully. But they prescribed me those small pills. So I take one when I feel dizzy and evth comes back to norm. They know what they do, really.

Best NYC doctor

When I felt there was sth wrong with my lungs, Ive decided to visit a doctor. But I do not like the hospitals, they make me sick. So I searched on the Inet and found this lady doc. She made an examination, asked questions, then told me where to make a photo of my lungs in two minutes. Basing on all these, she assured me that nothing actually was wrong. The time passes and now I do know she was right. Great doc with a huge experience. Helped me a lot.

NYC doctor you can trust

I think Dr. Gafanovich is a great internist. One reason there is an occasional wait is that if you have a problem, she will spend his time to talk you though it. She is not just processing people.

I had a new medical condition and she was very thoughtful in explaining it to me when I was really scared.

How many doctors give you their home phone and cell phone? That says it all.

My personal opinion

I am seing Doctor Mariana Gafanovich during my pregnancy. Luckily I havent had any complications, so my review is limited to the fact that she is easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable.



I guess she is very busy as all docters are, but she takes enough time with me and never rush it. That is maybe the most important to me.

My recommendation

I feel extremely uncomfortable around needles. I have once earlier fainted when I got a shot. I was therefore not very happy when I had to get vacinated against hepatitis before going on vacation abroad.



I would like to thank Doctor GafanovichТs office for making this experience a lot less stressful than when I got shots in the past. The visit was reassuring and professional already from when I got to the office. I got the shot without any pain and I did not faint.



I will never look forward to go to the doctor or get a shot, but it helps when the doctor is caring and knows what she is doing.

Our family doctor

I can't describe how happy I am to have Dr. Gafanovich as our family doctor. She is always so careful and precise in her treatments. I never waited for more than 10 minutes to get into exam room, which is extraordinary in my experience. She is always available after hours to extend her help if needed.

Thank you!

I think very highly of Dr. Gafanovich who I use as my diabetes specialist. She takes the time to download data off my medical devices so she can track my progress over time. She has great advice about diet and also is very knowledgable about medications which not all doctors are. I also get appropriate reminders about when it is time to see Marina again. She is intelligent and caring. Another thing not all doctors are.
