Get to know Internist Dr. Hazel Buenavista, who serves patients in New York.

Dr. Buenavista is a board-certified internist based in New York. She is currently a part of the team of professionals at Heal.

Offering telemedicine visits and remote monitoring, Heal was founded on the principal idea that improving health outcomes starts by meeting patients where they’re most comfortable: at home. That’s why the providers offer personalized, in-home primary care to seniors at all stages of their health journey, from preventive care — like flu shots and annual exams — to treating common illnesses and managing chronic conditions. 

Academically, Dr. Buenavista graduated with her Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology from Far Eastern University – Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation in 1994. She then went on to earn her medical degree from the said institution in 1998, after which she performed her internship and residency in internal medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull in New York from 2007 until 2010.

Seeking to deliver healthcare excellence, she is board-certified in internal medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world.

Holding various certifications, Dr. Buenavista is certified in Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic Life Support (BLS), and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS).

From January 2011 until April 2021, she served as an attending physician within the Emergency Department at NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull.

Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.

On a more personal note, Dr. Buenavista is fluent in English and Filipino.
