If you are looking for a clinical powerhouse that feels like a private wellness retreat, the partnership of Dr. Samuel Davidoff and Dr. Yuriy Israel at Gastroenterology and Nutrition, P.C. is a Forest Hills landmark.
Located on the 2nd floor of 108-16 72nd Avenue, this practice sits at the intersection of old-world Queens charm and cutting-edge internal medicine.
The Dynamic Duo: A "Full Spectrum" Approach
What makes this office unique is the synergy between the two lead specialists. They don’t just share an office; they offer a combined philosophy that treats the digestive system as the core of human vitality.
Dr. Samuel Davidoff: Known as the "Precisionist." He is a master of high-definition endoscopy and colonoscopy, focusing on "zero-miss" diagnostics. His reputation is built on technical excellence and a calm, reassuring bedside manner that de-escalates the anxiety of medical procedures.
Dr. Yuriy Israel: The "Holistic Strategist." With a deep background in both Internal Medicine and Gastroenterology, Dr. Israel looks at the "big picture." He is particularly sought after for complex cases where digestive issues intersect with nutrition, metabolism, and systemic health.
The Aesthetic: 72nd Avenue Sophodoxy
The office is situated in the heart of Forest Hills, just steps away from the iconic Austin Street shopping district.
The 2nd Floor Sanctuary: Elevating patients above the street-level bustle, the office is designed for privacy. It features a modern, streamlined aesthetic that reflects the high-tech diagnostic tools housed within.
The "Neighborhood Specialist" Feel: Despite their high-level credentials, the practice maintains the DNA of a neighborhood doctor. They are deeply integrated into the Queens community, offering care that is culturally fluent and personally tailored.
Why the Forest Hills Location is a Destination
