Great doctor who actually listens, asks thorough questions, and does real hands-on care!
Medical assistant was very nice, though she only used hand sanitizer versus handwashing for lab draw and didn't use gloves for lab draw either. Noticed sharps bin was full to the top for first appointment of the day.
I will still definitely come back, the doctor was EXCELLENT and a rare find these days!

One of the best doctors I’ve seen in a while. The wait was quick and Dr. Sam was a great listener and took her time with our appointment.
February 14, 2025Jasmine R.Verified patient
Dr. Tanyka Sam was so incredible. I’ve been in New York for three years looking for a primary care doctor and this was the first time I went to a general consultation that wasn't rushed or super short and impersonal. I had such a pleasant appointment experience.
Dr. Tanyka Sam spent ample time with me discussing my health, concerns, and goals and made me feel so comfortable. I recommend her and her services highly to anyone looking for a primary care doctor. The office staff was also so, so sweet and made the entire experience seamless and pleasant. Thank you!

December 27, 2024Lucretia C.Verified patient
I really enjoyed Dr. Sam and she will definitely be my PCP. I was searching high and low for a provider who was a woman of color and someone who’s knowledgeable, with great bedside manner and I found just that. She listened to all my concerns, explained the next steps and set expectations. I really appreciated that. The office is small and intimate and I felt so prioritized. I enjoyed everything about my visit and I’m happy I found a provider I liked.
