BEHIND THE PRACTICE
Our Story
Bethany Medical Clinic was founded in 2012 by Dr. Shirin Peters — a New York-trained physician with a vision to build something different. After completing her medical education at New York Medical College and her residency at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Manhattan, Dr. Peters recognized a gap in the city she loved: busy New Yorkers needed accessible, relationship-driven healthcare that truly worked around their lives.
What started as a solo practice in a small Flatiron office quickly grew as New Yorkers responded to a model of care built on trust, thoroughness, and genuine connection. Within a year, two additional providers joined the team and the practice moved to a larger space on East 31st Street. Over the next eight years, Bethany expanded to seven locations across Manhattan neighborhoods — always guided by one principle: listening to patients and responding to what they truly need.
When COVID-19 hit New York City, we stayed open. While much of the city paused, our team pivoted to telemedicine, operated on a skeleton crew, and continued serving our patients through one of the most difficult periods in the city’s history. We emerged from the pandemic more committed than ever — rebuilding stronger, expanding our team, and deepening our dedication to every patient we serve.
Today, Bethany Medical Clinic is a team of 13 exceptional providers across three Manhattan locations — united by the same values Dr. Peters instilled from day one: Warmth, Inclusivity, and Thoroughness. We are not a corporate clinic. We are your healthcare home in New York City.
