IMPORTANT NOTICES TO PROSPECTIVE PATIENTS:
1. Your first visit will be an "Office Visit", not an "Annual Physical" or "Preventive Care" visit. Please be aware of this distinction and check with your insurance company for clarification.
2. Please don't fill out the ZocDoc health assessment survey - it does not correspond with our electronic medical record and you will be asked to repeat it at our office.
Please arrive 10-15 min early to complete registration. Thank you!
In this age of ultra-specialized medicine, I am proud to be a primary care doctor. I cherish the opportunity to get to know people, their families, and their stories. The responsibility of being someone's PCP is an honor I take very seriously.
For the past 7 years, I served as a primary care doctor at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, an LGBT-oriented clinic in Manhattan. There, I became an expert in HIV primary care and transgender medicine while continuing to hone my skills in general internal medicine.
I am now launching my own practice weaving my clinical expertise with a mindfulness-oriented approach to health and healing. While I am armed with a prescription pad, medication (pharmaceutical or alternative) is just one of the many tools in my tool box. While medications are central in the management of many conditions, I firmly believe that the health of each individual lies within them, not only in a pill bottle. Our goal in working together will be to find out what stands between you and optimal health and pave a new road toward emotional, physical, nutritional, and professional balance to reach it.

Amazing doctor. I can't even believe I actually enjoyed going to see a doctor. Irina is so down to earth and has a holistic view of what medicine is and can be.
July 20, 2018Raffi C.Verified patient
Couldn't be more happier to have found Dr. Linetskaya! She's so wonderful and has such an open heart and mind. I've been looking for a Dr. that wouldn't shame me for my shift to a plant based diet and Dr. Linetskaya was MORE than supportive. Dr. Linetskaya definitely looks big picture rather than prescription quick fire. I feel I can really trust Dr. Linetskaya to help me be the best version of myself.
June 5, 2018Emily M.Verified patient
The front desk staff was super nice and efficient. Dr. Irina is very kind and warm, was great at listening and patient while I explained my health issues. Clean office and only waited about ten minutes for my appointment.
June 6, 2018Jennifer C.Verified patient
Really happy to have connected with Irina. She specializes in the areas that make sense for my life and was disarmingly honest and relatable. Also very happy to have found a holistic practitioner who takes insurance! I look forward to our journey together to optimize my health and life.
May 15, 2018Richard M.Verified patient
Dr. Linetskaya is not your avarage doctor, who will see you for a common cold and suggest that you take DayQuill.
She is a complete opposite of that.
In only one appointment she educated me about my own health and body better, than anyone ever did before.
Dr. Linetskaya is the kind of doctor, who actually wants you to get better, reaching for the core of the problem, not for another symptom-soothing pill.
I now will recomend her to everyone I know.
May 2, 2018Bogdana F.Verified patient
Very knowledgeable and warm. She not only explained what was going on with me, but went in depth on causes and prevention advice. Did not do much examining, but was really thorough in explaining.
April 9, 2018Deena B.Verified patient
She’s lovely. Looks out for whole body health - physical and emotional and the connection between them. Felt very well taken care of and informed.
More than 1 year agoLeah S.Verified patient
I finally felt like I was talking to a normal human being (not just a know it all, western medicine doctor) She was so relatable and a joy to sit and chat with. In our 40 min or so conversation, we went over a variety of issues that were bothering me and she gave great personal and professional advice. I can't wait to go back next month!
March 14, 2018Caitlin S.Verified patient
Holistic approach to getting to know me as a new patient. I appreciated her interest in me and my concerns rather than just a poke and prod measurement-based appointment. Great sense of humor and calming manner.

A wonderful, validating experience. The office is warm and inviting, the staff gracious and the doctor herself just a kind professional. I would recommend this office to anyone from my communities.
February 5, 2018Stephanie B.Verified patient
Might have found my long term PCP. Aside from wait time, would say the most insightful, thoughtful and understanding doctor I’ve seen in a long long time.
January 22, 2018Matthew D.Verified patient
Excluding the wait time, which seemed like it doesn't happen that often, I was more than thrilled to start seeing Dr. Linetskaya. Within our first session, she was able to quickly understand my entire medical history and provide next steps that made me feel hopeful in the first time in a long time. I'm very appreciative of her help and can't wait to see her again.
January 29, 2018Jon S.Verified patient
Wonderful! Took all the time she needed to talk with me about and make me understand all the things I’ve been concerned about with my health. Looking forward to seeing her again soon!
December 13, 2017Initials hidden
Dr. Linetskaya was attentive, supportive and knowledgeable. She actively listened to my issues, asked questions to make sure she got a complete picture, and then did thorough testing before diagnosing. She came up with a clear plan. While I had to wait only about ten minutes after my appointment time, she apologized and made sure not to rush my appointment. I have absolutely no reservations about her handling my care.
More than 1 year agoStephanie A.Verified patient
Dr. Linetskaya is amazing! She is very open and understanding. I've had a fear of public speaking for a long time now, and it is often downplayed by my physicians. Dr. Linetskaya went above and beyond in helping me fight this fear. I am a medical student, and will definitely be taking some pointers on how to treat my patients from her. Great visit, highly recommend!
November 28, 2017Margaret W.Verified patient
Wonderful doctor!
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
This was the best experience I have had with a doctor in over 10 years. Irina sat down with me and discussed my health problem in a way that examined my lifestyle, my emotional health, and my personal history as potential triggers. She developed an action plan with me and made sure I understood why what is happening may be happening and why the treatment plan should help. She is warm, intelligent, and easy to talk to. I highly recommend her!
More than 1 year agoAriel A.Verified patient
Knowledgeable, warm, caring, interested in whole body health — Dr. Linetskaya won me over immediately. I think I’ve found my new primary care doc.
October 25, 2017Andrew R.Verified patient
Irina was amazing. She made me realize a lot about my health and gave me great tips about a new routine and how to get on the track to feeling better. I really enjoyed her way of thinking and it was very refreshing compared to docs I've had in the past. She had great referrals and was quick to make an appointment for a follow up. Super personable and really wanted to get to know about me and how my lifestyle/thoughts/etc affect my health. Also, office staff was so nice and efficient, had everything ready for me when my appointment was over and got in as soon as my appointment was supposed to start. All around great.
October 17, 2017Kimberly B.Verified patient
Very professional, with great empathy, extremely reassuring and explains things very well. Doesn't feed you unnecessary medication if you don't need it. Also an incredibly friendly and lovely person. Highly recommended!

Dr Linetskaya was fantastic. She saw me straight away and was very friendly and I felt instantly at ease with her. I was very pleased that she considers non-clinical solutions for problems if useful, and she has a great approach to understanding you as a patient. I would highly recommend her.
October 27, 2017Alexandra L.Verified patient
She was super nice and asked all of the right questions. Very friendly and just a normal woman who made me feel super comfortable!
October 25, 2017Alison S.Verified patient
Very helpful and her approach is the treating the whole body. Advocates for a healthy lifestyle not medication i.e. exercise and healthy eating.
Very knowledgeable of lactose intolerance. She ordered a full blood work up and scheduled a physical for two weeks. Very happy I found her!!
October 9, 2017Danielle G.Verified patient
Dr. Linetskaya is always very helpful and eager to delve into whatever issues o have. She makes great suggestions and really encourages proactiveness. I feel very at ease when talking with her, something I haven't experienced with many doctors.

September 13, 2017Desiree P.Verified patient
She was a wonderful doctor, personable and was able to set my mind at ease right away. She was also clearly very knowledgeable, I could tell she really wanted me to feel better about the issue I was seeing her for. Highly recommended!
More than 1 year agoPamela S.Verified patient
This is by far the best, most thorough doctor's appointment I have ever been too. Dr. Linetskaya's willingness to approach illnesses in a holistic manner rather than immediately prescribing medications really appealed to me. Her bedside manner is something doctors need to learn from. She is on time and listens to you thoroughly. I am glad to have found her.
September 12, 2017Vidya N.Verified patient
Dr Linetskaya listens and gave great advice. I tried eating the foods she suggested to keep my energy up throughout the day and did the exercises she suggested when I feel overwhelmed, and I felt more energetic, productive and healthier almost immediately. I highly recommend her!

It's been years since I have gone to see a doctor, and I felt comfortable right away. I felt listened to and respected, comfortable and safe. Dr. Irina is knowledgable and easy to speak with. It felt like I was getting solid advice from a friend.

Visit was great! The office as a whole is very welcoming and friendly. Irina is wonderful and truly listens. She takes the time to ask questions about both past health and current health. She also takes lifestyle into great consideration instead of just prescribing medicine to "bandaid" any problems. Highly recommend her!
More than 1 year agoElise T.Verified patient
My first appointment with Dr. Irina has me feeling like I just made a new friend! She is probably the easiest doctor to talk to that I've ever had. The staff is very friendly (they actually smiled at me), my wait wasn't too bad at all, and I love Dr. Irina's demeanor and bedside manner is out of this world and her treatment style is something I can relate to - our conversation about my health was therapy on it's own! I'm very impressed and can't wait to go back for a follow up appointment (who even says that)?!
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
She is absolutely amazing and I will definitely be making her my PCP! I've never had a doctor who was so thorough and down to Earth. She made me feel comfortable the moment I met her and was so open and honest about everything. She's really great!
August 2, 2017Rosmary F.Verified patient
Dr. Linetskaya was very warm and welcoming, which was especially wonderful considering it was my first appointment with her. I felt comfortable with her immediately. She really listened to why I made the appointment as well as to my medical history. She was very detailed in her explanations with me; she is great at explaining the "why" behind everything. I'm thrilled to have found a primary care physician that I really, really like!
