A chronic condition is not something you treat once. It needs a doctor who knows your history, watches the trends and adjusts treatment before small changes become big problems. As a board-certified internist, Dr. Marina Gafanovich manages long-term conditions for adults on the Upper East Side, often several at once.
One doctor who sees the whole picture. Many patients have more than one condition and take several medications. Dr. Gafanovich reviews everything together, checks for interactions and keeps treatment as simple as possible.
Regular monitoring. Blood pressure, blood work, ECG and spirometry are done in our office, so you don’t need to go to several places.
A clear plan. You leave each visit knowing your numbers, your goals and what to do until the next visit.
Coordination with specialists. When you need a cardiologist, endocrinologist, gastroenterologist or other specialist, we refer you to trusted colleagues at NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell and stay involved in your care.
Arthritis and joint pain. We evaluate the cause — osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, gout or injury — with an exam and blood tests, and build a plan with medication, exercise and referrals to rheumatology or physical therapy when needed.
Back pain. Most back pain improves with the right combination of activity, medication and physical therapy. We look for warning signs that need imaging or a specialist.
Migraine. We identify triggers, prescribe treatment for attacks and, if migraines are frequent, discuss preventive medication.
Hepatitis. We screen for hepatitis B and C, monitor liver function and coordinate antiviral treatment with specialists. Hepatitis A and B vaccines are available in the office.
Pain management. We treat chronic pain with a careful, step-by-step approach that focuses on function and safety.
Most patients with a stable chronic condition come in every 3 to 6 months. When treatment is being adjusted, visits are more frequent. Some follow-ups can be done by telehealth.
Certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), with more than 20 years in practice.
Affiliated with NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center.
Dr. Gafanovich has led this Upper East Side practice since 2008; the practice was founded in 1961.
ECG, spirometry, urinalysis and blood draw in the same office, often during the same visit.
Unhurried visits, and every result is explained.

An internist is trained to manage most common chronic conditions in adults. We involve specialists when a condition needs more focused care.
Refills for stable conditions can often be handled with a short telehealth visit. Regular in-person checkups are still needed to monitor your health safely.
