I recently had to change doctors separating from the doctor I had for the last 15 years. I am so happy to say that from my first interaction with Dr. PETER GOTTESFELD and his staff everything has gone smoothly and I feel comfortable and confident in the future. Everyone knows what such an important relationship means with their doctors.

My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...
I am on staff at Northern Westchester Hospital Center and Hudson Valley Hospital Center. With my new office conveniently located in Yorktown Heights less than 2 miles off the Taconic Parkway, I am able to serve the communities of Northern Westchester County (Yorktown Heights, Chappaqua, Armonk, Bedford, North Salem, Pound Ridge, Somers and Croton-on-Hudson) and Putnam County (Garrison, Cold Spring and Mahopac.)
My certification in Age Management Medicine has given me the opportunity to study nutrition and exercise - two areas in which I have particular interest. As a private doctor, I enjoy partnering with my patients and guiding them in a joint endeavor for better health. I am fluent in Spanish and German.

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Gottesfeld
Dr. Gottesfeld has been caring for my 33-year-old daughter for many, many years now. Christine has autism and does not speak so treating her can be a challenge. Dr. Gottesfeld has built up a great rapport with Christine and he knows that she loves the song "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles so when he comes into the examination room to see Christine, he has already pulled up the lyrics on his… See more
Thanks to my wonderful wife/partner, Dr. Peter Gottesfeld is our primary care physician and MDVIP Doctor. Dr. Gottesfeld knows and remembers our names, as I am sure he does for the rest of his patients. He consistently demonstrates his care and concern for our well-being by responding to our calls promptly and informing us about when and for how long he will be out of the office. During… See more
I work for a medical Nutritionist. A patient mentioned to me that he had signed for the MDVIP program with Dr Gottesfeld as his primary. He had been with Dr. G. previously and was extremely happy with the hands on approach. Both he and his wife could not stop talking about Dr. Gottesfeld.
I called the same day and signed up to join the program.

Dr. Gottesfeld is by far the best doctor I’ve ever had he is always there for me and has always solved every problem I have had ! I wish every doctor was as kind and understanding as he he deserves to be in the Dr Hall of Fame!
Dr Gottesfeld is always caring and patient and kind, just to mention a few. Because his knowledge seems so vast and is always growing, I know he's an excellent physician and because he cares deeply about his patients well being and is always there to help you get well when you are in need. It's no wonder then that additionally he's a good person & a dear friend.
I think Dr. Gottesfeld is a compassionate, thorough and good clinician. I became his patient under trying circumstances. I had been very ill for over a year with a variety of illnesses which followed the death of my loving husband of 54 years of an aggressive cancer that no one expected. I also lost my former doctor of 20 years to retirement and was looking for a replacement doctor and feeling… See more
I recently had to deal with a serious and complicated health issue and my MDVIP doctor, Dr. Peter Gottesfeld, was extremely helpful and supportive. He explained the situation to me, which helped me to feel more comfortable and less anxious. I greatly appreciate his expertise and help.
Just recently I was experiencing some severe digestive issues that previously had landed me in the Emergency Room when Dr. Gottesfeld was out of the country on vacation. I called him before 8 AM and told him my symptoms and he made several suggestions about how to manage this without a trip to the ER, hopefully. His initial suggestion worked and I was relieved of my symptoms. I am so… See more
