Meet Peter M. Gottesfeld, MD


My goal in family medicine is to provide private primary care focused on the individual patient. As a private primary care doctor, I use science, technology, and emotional intelligence to create a therapeutic environment focused on treatment of acute illnesses, optimal management of chronic conditions and finding prevention strategies that work for each patient. My MDVIP-affiliated practice offers services, including comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests, that go far beyond those found in concierge medicine practices.  

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.

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.

Testimonials from patients of Peter M. Gottesfeld, MD

Gratitude!

from Amy in NY • February 19, 2024
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 grateful Read more...

Thank You!

from Katrina in NY • February 17, 2024
Although I have only been a patient of Dr. Gottesfeld for a short time, I have greatly benefitted from his many years of experience. The ability to get an appointment on short notice, and appointments that last longer than 5 minutes have improved my health. I believe that I have a physician who is truly dedicated to his patients, and listens to their concerns. I commend everyone in his office for Read more...

Caring, Committed and Kind

from Tinuke in NY • February 17, 2024

I am new to Dr. Gottesfeld’s practice. My previous doctor died unexpectedly, he had been my doctor for 15 years . Understandably, I was nervous the first time I met him and when I mentioned that my doctor had died. He stopped and said that was worthy of acknowledging all of my feelings around them. I knew then that this was the doctor for me. I shared things with him even my previous doctor did Read more...

Dr. Peter Gottesfeld

from Donald in NY • February 13, 2024
After my long time doctor, Chris Nicora, passed away suddenly, I was in a panic to find a replacement. I remembered seeing Dr. Gottesfeld once before when Dr. Nicora was out of Town. Not only were they able to take me in as a new patient, my one and only visit so far was a total pleasure!! I miss Dr. Nicora but am confident that I will develop the same if not a better relationship with Dr. Read more...

A Personal Doctor

from Michael and Lydia in NY • January 28, 2024
My wife (Lydia) and I have been Doctor's Gottesfeld patients for 21 years coming up. He has been the most affable and caring Doctor we have had in our lifetime (81 and 80 years of age). Even before he joined MDVIP he gave us all the time we needed to cover the cause of our visit. He has superb communication skills with the patients and takes time to explain the medical conditions and the causes. Read more...
