About Dr. Natasha Fuksina

We offer Telehealth services! Please feel free to ask for more information at your appointment. Dr. Natasha Fuksina, Diplomate of the American Board of Internal Medicine, received her B.A. in Biology from New York University, New York, and her Doctor of Medicine degree from Albany Medical College, Albany, New York. Raised in a family of physicians, dentists, and scientists, Dr. Fuksina knew from a young age that her passion was clinical medicine. She shadowed her father during ICU rounds and her mother in her biochemistry research lab. In her practice, she utilizes an Integrative Internal Medicine approach by identifying the underlying causes of disease and combining traditional and functional medicine recommendations to restore health and function. Advanced metabolic, genetic, and food sensitivity testing, along with body composition analysis, are used alongside conventional laboratory and diagnostic tests. Dr. Fuksina's goal is to help her patients reach their personal healthiest best and, in some cases, to help them defy their genes by modifying the expression of unhealthy genes they carry. When not working or attending medical conferences, she spends time with her husband and two children, ensuring she passes on a love of lifelong learning to them. Although classically trained in piano for eight years, she passionately enjoys any song or dance with Latin or tango rhythm. She speaks fluent Spanish and Russian, which helps her establish a special bond with her non-English-speaking patients.

I liked her very much. She seemed caring and smart. All my questions were answered and she was transparent about different health and wellness services she provides without being pushy to explore any. She asked a lot of questions re my health in general and I never felt that she was rushing to see the next patient. The office staff is also very welcoming!
Verified patient
Dr Fuksina is most considerate and professional physician. Her utmost attentiveness to my concerns and action orientation are commendable. This doc goes the extra mile in understanding personal and family history so she can scrutinize the underlying causes via testing. Sherlock Holmes in medical gown ?? ????????
Verified patient
A rare find. Dr Fuksina is the most competent and thorough GP I’ve had in recent memory. She takes a very holistic approach that includes a wide and nuanced understanding of modern mental health care (rare for a GP or internist). She doesn’t rush patients through appointments and is a very attentive and sympathetic listener. She’s big on tests and conservative with prescriptions because, again, hers is a more holistic big-picture approach. Great conversationalist, extremely smart, witty and likable. Have recommended several family members and friends.
Verified patient
The doctor was a great listener and did not dismiss my concerns. Made sure I understood the plan and even noticed symptoms without me telling her about then. Definitely would recommend.
Verified patient
Very happy with my visit and this doctor. She paid attention to my concerns and answers my questions. She made me a copartner in my treatment.
Dr. Fuksina is not only kind, respectful, and a superb listener, she's sharp as a tack. As someone from the medical field, I was impressed by her comprehensive, accurate, and rapid understanding of my situation. I barely had to even describe my symptoms; five minutes after I started she was already predicting various other symptoms and comorbidities before I said anything, and she was 100 percent correct. For years I found myself in situations where I practically had to be my own doctor, studying and explaining everything because a doctor would know very little about my condition. Not so with Dr. Fuksina. She's an encyclopedia. For the first time in my life I've met a doctor in whom I can confidently assert that she really has a deep and comprehensive knowledge of her field, but never gave me the sense that she was talking down to me. There was a bit of a wait time, but for someone so skilled it's no surprise that she's in high demand. If I could've rated 6 stars out of 5 I would've.
Verified patient
Everyone was friendly and helpful. Was at ease from the beginning and Dr Fuksina was very thorough, attentive and approachable.
Verified patient
I went for a basic physical had to wait for an hour which was fine, but then once I actually got into my appointment the doctor just asked me a bunch of questions, took my weight and my blood pressure and that was it. They wanted me to come back two more times to finish my physical (blood work, follow up from blood work). I feel like they were just trying to get as many appointments to make more money. The office wasn't very nice, and the service didn't seem very competent either.

Dr. Fuksina is a godsend. she is very attentive, thorough and is a doctor that actually cares about what her patients are going through. I've never had a GP experience this great! I am definitely coming back. The only drawback is that her office is very busy. despite having a fixed appointment time, and I arrived 15 minutes early as requested, I ended up waiting close to an hour to be seen. Triage was quick but waited another 20 minutes before I was seen by the doctor. They're very busy. But after the visit, I suppose seeing Dr. Fuksina is well worth the wait as she is not rushing through your visit to see another patient.
Dr. Fuksina is very nice, very knowledgeable and never made me feel bad about my health mistakes. Unfortunately, the woman who works at the front desk needs customer service training badly. She comes off very harsh and likes to debate whether or not she has told you something. I would hear how she would talk to the people on the phone and in person . At first I thought ok this is tough love or something, but no it's just disrespect. She doesn't know how to talk to people. I hate having to deal with her in order to see the doctor. Therefore I will not be back. A couple more things I didn't like about my visits to the office.... - It was snowing, I called an hour before my visit to confirm if Dr. Fuksina would be in the office. They confirmed she would be. I go to my appointment and wait 40 mins and then a random doctor came in to review my test results. No warning. No explanation of where Dr. Fuksina was. He was very nice but I didn't want to see another doctor outside of Dr. Fuksina. They didn't give me a choice. I left confused. -Alot of other doctor offices will give you results over the phone or online. Not this office. I had to make an appointment and wait 3 weeks for results. No one told me if and where I could access them online. I had to make an appointment.
Doctor was both concise and precise with her handling of issues. Every paperwork in respect of the visit had been sent prior giving no room for time wasting. Overall staff were very helpful ,friendly and respectful
Verified patient
Doctor and her assistant were fantastic. They took the time to understand my concerns and answer them thoughtfully. The front office however was not a good experience. Unfriendly and wasn't helpful at all when I asked questions about appointment handling.
It was great. Loving my results so far!
Verified patient
Very thorough first meeting for check up.
Verified patient
I wanted her as my primary physician, and I'm not so sure anymore. When you call to ask about your health questions, you are told that doctor is very busy and not sure when she will get back to you. If I can't ask urgent health questions to doctor who has my health record and history, I'm not sure why I'm here. I heard two different results of my blood work from different nurses at the clinic. Plus I felt like nobody there really cared about my health. Order bunch of tests but no solid consultation on what I should do with my health. Also I was told one thing my first visit but told differently next time I visited. I cried coming out of the clinic because after all that back and forth, I felt lost and uncared for.
The doctor and team were very thorough and detail oriented. They listened to everything attentively and were able to provide solutions by taking the next step immediately. I truly loved that Dr. Fuksina Was very kind and was not rushing thru her appointment. She takes the time to give you her undivided attention.

Dr. Fukasina is great! She asks lots of questions and really listens to get a whole picture of what is going on with a patient.

Verified patient
Terrible waiting time (more than 2 hours), terrible receptionists attitude and professionalism (can’t even tell if they work with insurance provider or not, never calls back when asked). Will be looking for a new doctor. I had never had experience this bad.
Always delightful
Regrettably her office failed to send me the link for our appt; I am speaking with regard to our last two appointments. She’s one of the sharpest, most capable practitioners in the Cigna directory and I look forward to seeing her again next week.

Had a tele visit. Dr. Fuksina was down to earth, assuring and professional. Will have follow up visits an will know more about her practice then.
My first visit with Dr. Fuksina was amazing. She took the time to get to know me and my history and made me feel at home even though I was very nervous about going to the doctor. I look forward to seeing her again.
Very attentive, comforting demeanor, detail - oriented, patient and took the time to know about me & family's health history. It was apparent she takes the well-being of her patients seriously. Really friendly staff and the over-all experience at the facility was quite smooth. Would absolutely recommend.
Excellent bedside manner. Listened intently and created a plan for me to follow. Very little push back to my requests and great follow through with check ups and next steps. Would highly recommend.
Every visit I had was helpful and informative.
Straight to the point.
It was good-good environment & staff is helpful.
