Dr. Marina Gafanovich, MD – About
Dr. Marina Gafanovich joins her staff in welcoming you to her Upper East Side medical practice.
The practice, opened in 1961, was founded on the belief a physician should treat the person first and then the disease. First advocated by Dr. Eric Cassell, this holistic approach was co-established with the practice and began four decades of building a solid reputation. Dr. Cassell’s successor continues the same high standard of care for two more decades before the practice was handed off to Dr. Gafanovich. Selected for her compassion, excellent medical skills, she continues the preeminent reputation which has lasted over half a century.
Step into the office and allow the warm, friendly ambiance wrap itself around you. Our multi-lingual staff is devoted to you and intends to ensure your personal requirements are met while keeping your wait to a minimum. We employ the latest in diagnostic technology, and our aim is to thoroughly define, diagnosis and treat our patients.
We provide on-site phlebotomy, chest X-rays, ECGs and other services. We efficiently screen and prevent diseases as we provide, as needed, pre-operative clearances. Our medical team is equipped and trained to deal with medical concerns including hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease, weight loss, smoking cessation, stress management, gout, arthritis, and asthma/COPD. We offer plans for basic disease prevention such as screening for colorectal, breast, and prostate cancer.

Trained Staff
While Dr. Gafanovich aspires to meet indiviudally with each patient during each appointment, even she can’t be everywhere at once. To resolve this, she has hand-picked her staff to replicate the quality care and attention she provides. While many medical offices are staffed with temporary office help and “rent-a-nurses”, Dr. Gafanovich hires each member of her team only after they have undergone a thorough screening. Patient care and patient support are the two areas, in addition to medical care, where she pays particular attention. She looks for qualities combining empathy with a can-do spirit which benefits each individual patient seeking treatment, help and healing.
Easily accessible, Dr. Gafanovich’s practice is located in Manhattan’s Upper East Side on a tree-lined street that offers plenty of on, and off-street, parking.
