OVERVIEW

This medical practice opened its doors in 1961. It was founded on the premise that a doctor can and should treat the patient rather than the disease. This humanistic approach was originally championed by Dr. Eric Cassell, who established this practice and was well known in New York City for 40 years of providing superb medical care. Dr. Kenneth Scileppi, his successor, continued the same standard of medical care for another 20 years. This personal and dedicated practice was then entrusted to Dr. Marina Gafanovich, who was chosen for her intelligence, first-rate Internal Medicine skills, and compassion toward her patients.

"DO NOT GO HERE. ALMOST SCAMMED ME. Went in for a physical, and they said they were having trouble finding my insurance, but ensured me that blue cross blue shield would cover it, so I went ahead with it. I began doing tests with the nurse and she was SO RUDE, rushed, like flat-out mean. The first tests she did were a hearing test and then an EKG. I am a healthy 22 y/o why would I need an EKG? Next she had me do a breathing test and we could not get it to work and she got so mad at me that she made me CRY. Finally I was done with the tests waiting in the examination room for the DR, when I started getting a really weird feeling so I checked Yelp reviews. Turns out tons of ppl before me had this experience where the practice does a million unnecessary tests for a basic physical so they can charge out-of-network fees. I immediately went up to the receptionist's desk and asked if my insurance would cover all of these tests. She said she still "wasn't sure" and that if wanted to, they could ...
"scratch" the tests for today and my insurance would not be billed (which is also a red flag, like she knew I was suspicious so she let me go). Seems that others before me did not get out in time and got wacked with $500+ bills. BE WARNED!! "
