Why Patients Trust Bethany Medical Clinic
At Bethany Medical Clinic, we believe exceptional healthcare is built on trust, consistency, and genuine human connection. Founded by Dr. Shirin Peters, MD, our practice has spent over two decades serving the New York City community — delivering the kind of thoughtful, personalized care that keeps patients coming back year after year.
We combine the expertise of board-certified physicians, physician assistants, licensed therapists, and registered dietitians under one roof, so patients receive comprehensive, coordinated care without bouncing between disconnected providers. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, navigating a new diagnosis, or simply looking for a primary care doctor in Manhattan who will actually listen — we’re here.
What sets us apart is how we work. We offer same-day and next-day appointments at all three of our Manhattan locations, so you’re not waiting weeks to be seen. Our providers take time to understand your full health picture rather than treating symptoms in isolation. We prioritize preventive care, evidence-based medicine, and transparent communication at every visit.
With over 1,000 five-star reviews across our locations and patients who have trusted us with their health for years, we’re proud to be one of Manhattan’s most trusted primary care practices
