More about Dr. Joshua Gizersky, DO

He is a an active member of the Fellowship in Anti-Aging, Functional, and Regenerative Medicine, which is America’s leading authority in this emerging field of medicine and is also and active member
of the North American Menopause Society and their specialized course for certification in menopause practice.
He attended the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine where traditional medical education was integrated with the concept of osteopathy, which is a system of medicine based on the theory that disturbances in the musculoskeletal system affect other body systems, causing many disorders that can be corrected by various manual methods and techniques. His interest in hormonal imbalance led him to train with leaders in the fields of men’s health and women’s endocrinology.
He completed an Internal Medicine residency at Maimonides Medical Center, a HealthGrades Top 5% Distinguished Hospital for Clinical Excellence™, and a clinical campus for the NYU School of Medicine and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. He then went on to complete a unique fellowship in the emerging field of Anti-Aging, Regenerative, and Functional Medicine, which combines the use of bio-identical hormones with supplements to restore wellness and promote longevity and healthy metabolic function. He is currently a Clinical Faculty Attending in the Department of Medicine at Maimonides Medical Center where he actively lectures and teaches resident physicians. He is also actively engaged as a principal investigator in clinical research involving anti-oxidants and liver disease.
Prior to medical school, Dr. Gizersky attended Hofstra University (graduating Cum Laude) where he studied history with a focus on western civilization as well as biology. He led an acclaimed research project under Merck grants that led to the discovery and patent of a compound with medical applications for respiratory distress syndrome.
Dr. Gizersky grew up in Brooklyn, NY after emigrating from Odessa, Ukraine and still has a close bond with the large Russian community in the NY area. Dr. Gizersky is active in teaching medical residents and student doctors and is an advocate for integrative medicine.
“I believe that internal medicine is the specialty that manages the complexities of the internal environment of the human body and optimizes how you interact with your external environment.”
“Many of the diseases I see come from maladapted internal reactions to improper external stressors that ask the body to perform functions it was never intended to do.”
“You can’t successfully manage bothersome symptoms unless you identify the root cause of the problem – this is how I conduct each and every patient consultation.”
“I started Vitality Logix to provide people with personal, comprehensive, and expert medical care that corrects internal imbalances and improves quality of life and longevity.”

Dr. Gizersky the first doctor out of a dozen who has actually looked at my complete health history & taken the time to find out what's really going on with me. He notices nuances that even I have overlooked . He's given me confidence that I'll actually find out what's going on with my malfunctioning body! Expect to spend a little time in the waiting room, I think it's only because he's very thorough.

Dr. Gizersky was great! My first visit with him and he took time to answer all my questions and address any concerns. He did full blood work, not just the run-of-the-mill tests. Arranged for ultra sound and scans etc. very thorough. Seems sincere in wanting to get to the bottom of things. But not willing to do expensive, possibly unnecessary tests or prescriptions unless 100% needed. I usually feel intimidated by doctors or feel like they kind of blow off my concerns but Dr. Gizersky was neither of those.
I also like that the scans and blood work needed were just two doors down as well.
Staff was pleasant too!

Dr. Gizersky was wonderful. This was my first visit with him. He asked me to complete a detailed questionnaire, which he used as the basis for a long talk about my health. He was very helpful. I will return, and I would recommend him to anyone living in the area.

Dr. Gizersky's office was bright and clean and his staff were professional and polite. As for the doctor himself - very patient, thorough, and a good listener. First doctor I've been to in AGES that I would gladly visit again.

Really great vibe in this office in general - from the front desk staff to the doctors and assistants. It's so refreshing to walk into a doctor's office and see smiles, see cordiality and good rapport amongst staff.

I scheduled my appointment with this doctor for 10:30, Their office then changed my appointment to 10:00. Fine, no big deal. However, I got there at ten till ten and waited over an hour to see the doctor. Why change the appointment time if I could've come in at the time I originally scheduled and still had to wait? The actual appointment took at whole five minutes. And there was no apology from the doctor or staff about the inconvenience.

Was here for an annual physical. No call to tell me the appointment I booked was unavailable (ZocDoc system error maybe?) and had to be changed, no lab/blood work done on site and was sent to multiple Quest labs because some labs only performed certain tests, others weren't under my insurance. In the end a huge hassle. Gave up and found another doctor in the city instead.

I have, known Dr. Joshua Gizersky since 2008. He is, the best "Primary Physician" I ever had. He takes, the time to put in the effort and digs deep to find the root of the problem. He recommends, top specialist and just goes that extra mile to ensure his patients are having the best care. My personal opinion of Dr. G is, he #1 in Brooklyn.
