Renita Butler, MD, is a board-certified internal medicine physician at Quality Healthcare NY, Primary Care Division, in Fishkill and Poughkeepsie , New York. She believes the provider-patient relationship should be about teamwork and that trust is essential in today’s medicine.
Dr. Butler has had a fascination with science, math, and helping others since elementary school. Her parents bought her a play doctor’s kit, and she would check family members' reflexes with a play reflex hammer and try to listen to their hearts with a play stethoscope.
As she grew up, Dr. Butler participated in health fairs, listened to other career health professionals from elementary to high school, and shadowed some doctors in their offices during summers. Her pursuit of becoming an internal medicine physician has been lifelong.
For her undergraduate education, Dr. Butler attended Emory University, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology. From there, she went to the University of South Alabama Medical Center for her Doctor of Internal Medicine and completed her residency at Meharry Medical College.
Internal medicine follows a patient’s adult lifespan. Dr. Butler chose this specialty because she wants to provide lifelong care for individuals. She connects with patients by actually listening instead of just hearing. She works with each individual to create the best care for their condition and unique needs.
Outside of work, Dr. Butler is very passionate about music. She even played classical piano for years.
“I felt welcomed from the moment I entered for office. She was genuinely concerned about my overall health and wellbeing. She LISTENED attentively to my responses and medical experiences. Every part of my office experience was done in excellence. I am so grateful that Dr. Butler was recommended to me, and I hope I get the chance to recommend her to someone.”

Dr. Yung Park guides Elevate Medical’s Certified SPRAVATO® Treatment Center in Midtown Manhattan and Pleasantville, NY. She works with people facing treatment-resistant depression, thoughts of suicide, and feeling emotionally shut down or disconnected.
Her approach is calm, grounded, and human. While she brings years of clinical experience, she starts by simply being present—listening closely, without rushing or trying to fix. She believes real healing begins when people feel safe enough to share what’s true for them, at their own pace.
Instead of steering the conversation toward specific outcomes, Dr. Park creates space for reflection, allowing insights to unfold naturally. She’s more curious than directive, and sees every person not as a problem to solve, but as someone in evolution—finding their way, just as we all are.
When she’s not working, you’ll find her walking in nature, birdwatching, creating poetry—on paper and through gardening—and spending time with her two pups, SaLang and Mandu.
