Family Medicine: One Doctor for the Whole Family

Having one doctor for the whole family saves time and gives better care. A family doctor knows your history, sees patterns that run in families and coordinates care between generations. Dr. Marina Gafanovich has cared for Upper East Side families since 2008, in a practice with roots going back to 1961.

What we offer families

Why it works

Family history in one place. Heart disease, diabetes, thyroid problems and some cancers run in families. When one doctor knows the family, screening can start earlier for those at risk.

Coordinated care. From a child’s school form to a parent’s blood pressure to a grandparent’s medications, everything goes through one trusted office.

Convenient visits. Family members can often be scheduled back to back.

Care in your language

Dr. Gafanovich and our staff speak English, Russian and Spanish, so every member of the family can get care in the language they are most comfortable with.
