Meet Khatuna Stepkovitch, MD


As a member of the Marcellus community, providing medical care that is personalized and of quality is something I feel deeply passionate about. My patients are not just patients - they are my neighbors and friends. In my MDVIP-affiliated practice, you will experience an office visit as though you are a member of my own family. I can promise that you will have the full benefit of my years of training and experience, my compassion and my time. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. 

I am board-certified in both internal medicine and am one of the few geriatricians in Onondaga County.  My years as a geriatrician has made me keenly sensitive to the devastating impacts of chronic disease and illness on the elderly population, which I believe informs my care of individuals of any age. As such, prevention is a cornerstone of my clinical practice. I also share my office with my husband, a psychiatrist, which I believe has deeply impacted my knowledge and sensitivity to those struggling with mental illness. I speak three languages fluently: English, Russian and Georgian.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Doctor Khatuna Stepkovitch is one of the kindest and most compassionate physicians I have ever met. She goes above and beyond for her patients and her staff, always. The care she provides patients is more personalized than any other practice in the area. Dr. Khatuna is AMAZING and I would highly highly recommend her.

To begin, I am not the easiest of patients. I have a history of horrible abuse as a child, so I am easily frightened. Dr. Stepkovitch and her staff have been Godsends to me. They are relentless in their search to find answers to my medical issues, but they are also supportive when I do get frightened and it takes patience to keep me focused. I would like to especially commend Stephanie, one of Dr. Stepkovich's assistants. This women is so sincere in her caring that she will go the extra mile every time necessary. Dr. Stepkovitch is providing this small community a goldmine of knowledge and care. I'm 69 years old, so I have met a LOT of doctors, and I don't think it gets any better than her. I highly recommend her practice.

After consulting several doctors about my Problem, I was recommended by one of my family friends to consult Dr. Khatuna because of the exceptionally good treatment she provided. I finally decided to consult her after a lot of frustration i had before with other clinicians. This one one of the best decisions I made. She provided me with clear dignosis, treatment plans and follow up. She was really friendly and professional. I finally got the right treatment I deserved. Thank you Doctor.
