A Return to Basics
Inspired by her family medicine residency at the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Tunney operates under a singular mission: the needs of the patient come first. After years of witnessing the frustrations of traditional healthcare, she built her Brooklyn practice on a foundation of extended visits, direct communication, and holistic wellness.

- Preventive & Pediatric Care: Routine screenings, adolescent health, and well-woman exams.
- Acute Medical Care: Medical care when you are sick- coughs, colds, flu, abdominal pain, strep throat are commonly seen conditions, or when you are injured-cuts, falls, open wounds requiring sutures, etc. Dr. Tunney also offers home visits to her patients.
- Specialized Procedures: Skin biopsies, women’s health (IUD/Nexplanon), and musculoskeletal injury treatment.
