Rushaniya A. Umayarova MD

After receiving her Bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry at Hunter College in New York, she earned her Medical Degree from Tashkent Medical Academy, Uzbekistan’s leading Medical University. She then returned to the United States and completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Richmond University Medical Center in Staten Island, bringing with her extensive clinical experience gained in Uzbekistan. Upon graduation, Dr. Umyarova decided to dedicate herself not only to primary care in the Staten Island community but also to improving the prevention and management of chronic diseases. She is fluent in English, Russian, and Uzbek.

In Dr. Umyarova’s own words, “I joined Richmond Health Network to become a part of a growing practice of community doctors who have quietly ensured that their neighborhood stays healthy. I believe in the power of primary care to help patients maintain their optimal health while connecting them to full spectrum of care. I have chosen Primary Care to care for my neighbors, for the elderly, for patients with chronic conditions, and for the under-served members of our community. I love forming lasting relationships which not only improve patient’s overall health and well-being, but also exemplify the profound beauty of human connection and community care.”
