David J. Sosnowik, MD

Over the years since establishing and maintaining my medical practice in Forest Hills, Queens, New York, I have come to understand that the key to good health and wellness is first and foremost prevention. A close primary care provider-patient relationship based on mutual trust and respect is the essence of personalized healthcare, and the best path to improving and maintaining health. Being board certified in gastroenterology as well as internal medicine, I have a special interest in nutrition and how and what we eat.

I ride my bike to work daily (unless raining or snowing) and come prepared with breakfast and lunch of what I call “real food,” mostly organic, that my wife sends me with each morning. Good eating habits are something we can focus on developing, slowly and steadily. I believe many health issues can be helped, treated or prevented with proper nutrition; remember, there is no quick fix; we are in this for the long haul.

MDVIP offers the opportunity to go beyond complaint-focused, time-limited evaluations. The annual Wellness Program includes comprehensive testing technology that can help identify risk factors. Similar to conveniences often associated with concierge medicine practices, I offer same- or next-day appointments. I am on staff at Northwell Health, Long Island Jewish Medical Center and with Digestive Disease Care, with access to the resources these leading centers offer.
