I had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Rafatjah for a year (before she moved away). She is extremely knowledgeable and helped me a lot with my inflammatory autoimmune condition. Unlike most doctors, she really takes the time to listen. She works with you to find the best and most affordable solution for you. I would absolutely recommend working with her if you are looking for a new doctor (and even if you aren’t).

Dr. Rafatjah is the most caring and genuine health care providers I’ve worked with. She worked to find what was at the root of my health issues, rather than throw a band-aid on it. It felt more like working with a friend than a doctor. Highly recommend for anyone who wants a mind/body approach to healing.

During the time she was my doctor, Dr. Rafatjah was clearly dedicated to my well being and I am very grateful. She would come up with myriad options for how to address my asthma and RA until we found things that worked. She was patient and good at listening and was able to explain complicated things clearly. I was sad to see her leave NYC, where I live.

When my primary physician of more than 15 years retired, I lamented ever finding another doctor that I felt comfortable with – one that really listened and was sensitive to my concerns, in addition to being extremely competent – until I met Dr. Rafatjah. Her recommendations and assistance have been life-changing.

Dr. Rafatjah spent quality time and attention with me, which is hard to come by these days, especially when there is no clear answer as to what is wrong. She was always available to chat and responded in a timely manner. She approached my issues head-on and came up with out of the box solutions to promote healing in a more natural way. New York is going to miss Dr. Rafatjah!

Dr. Rafatjah is the best physician I have seen in years. She is empathetic, intelligent, and extremely knowledgeable. She approaches medical issues in a holistic, 360-degree view and is dedicated to getting to the root cause of problems, rather than just throwing more pharmaceuticals at her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Rafatjah.

I had a really positive experience working with Dr. Rafatjah. I was one of her first patients right out of the gate and I threw her a lot of medical curveballs (I have an odd constellation of issues, to say the least), and she never seemed to get flustered or throw her hands up in the air like so many hotshot specialists I’ve seen at NYU and Columbia, etc. It was a dream to have a forward-thinking holistic minded MD as my primary care doc. She’s also very empathetic, personable and optimistic. Most of my docs don’t remember my case the minute I walk out the door. I highly recommend Dr. Rafatjah. She honestly cares about her patients.

Not many doctors will give you hope about healing from chronic, lifelong eczema, but Dr. Rafatjah has done that for me. I went to her hoping to get off of my dependence on high-intensity cortisone ointments and to preserve my fertility. Dr. Rafatjah identified some autoimmune issues that no other doctor or dermatologist had, got me on the right supplements, and helped me make the correct dietary changes. 2 years later I am 99% eczema free (with no medications), and happily pregnant. She is kind, compassionate and listens deeply to her patients. Rather than being told what’s wrong with me and walking away with yet another prescription, she has empowered me with a deep understanding of my body and given the tools to maintain my own health, with her as a supporting partner. This has honestly changed my life in more ways than I can detail here and I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I searched for 30 years for a truly integrative, holistic internist. I had basically given up, cobbling together various specialists and attempting to direct my own healthcare, when I found Dr. Rafatjah. I knew from the first appointment I had with her that she was going to be a doctor who would look at my health in a truly holistic way – taking into account lifestyle, personality, genetic issues, and tricky health challenges. Thoroughness is her hallmark, and it is remarkable to find that quality in a doctor who is also very open to my own ideas about healthcare. Dr. Rafatjah is a talented doctor who is responsive, accessible, and compassionate to boot.

Dr. Rafatjah is the thoughtful experienced doctor I’d been looking for, who practices new—integrative and holistic—medicine with a thorough knowledge of allopathic medicine and has an astounding capacity for asking the right questions and searching out a successful and very individualized therapy. A gifted wonderful physician.

My experience with Dr. Rafatjah has been immensely rewarding. I have struggled with allergies and inflammation my entire life. When I first sought her care in November of 2016, I had already been through two sinus surgeries, several ENTs, and more primary care docs and specialists than I could count. Dr. R’s holistic, total body approach and empathetic manner really guided me down a path to health that, while not always easy, has been lasting. Since I began treatment, I have significantly reduced my allergic reactions and inflammations, identified my most potent food triggers and lost 45 pounds. If my future self had told my past self that I could feel this healthy, I don’t think I would have believed it. I highly recommend Dr. Rafatjah, not just for her manner and approach, but for her results.
