Mohawk Village Medical

Primary Care Medicine

Dr. McNiff opened his solo practice in 2009, while working out of multi-physician office on W 14 th St. He then began seeing patients at our current office in 2011. Dr. Godwin joined the practice in 2013, which prompted the renaming of our office/medical group.

Our name is an homage to an umbrella of businesses owned and run by Dr. McNiff’s father in Shirley, Massachusetts. There was the infamous Mohawk Club (where many established acts performed from the 1950’s through the 1980’s), Mohawk Village Apartments, Mohawk Village Motors, and the Mohawk Gift Shop.

We strive to do things completely differently than what is typically expected of other practices (long waits, difficulty booking same day appointments, rude staff, etc.), and always go above and beyond to serve our patients’ needs. The “Mohawk,” affirms our stance on changing the perception of Primary Care Medicine. We perform all blood draws on site so that our patients don’t have to go to an external lab, and this also allows us to receive all lab results as soon as they are finalized through our interface. The same day final test results are ready, they are sent to you through our Patient Portal. We are also in the process of achieving Patient Centered Medical Home accreditation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_home), which takes these values even further. Read more

    Dr. Godwin is a fantastic primary care doctor. She is very knowledgeable, friendly, and gives great advice. I can't recommend her highly enough. Everyone at Mohawk is friendly and the practice is well located close to the subway. I love their online patient portal too.

    Dr. Chole Godwin. Where Do I start?

    This is one of those extremely rare life changing doctors, at least she was (and is) for me. She is persistant, knowledgable, utilizes a range of technique and keeps abreast of new research and advances. She is compassionate, actually listens and took on the basket case of issues that is my body. In urgent situations, she is quickly responsive and will even call my cell for important test results in the evenings. … Her partner, Dr. McNiff, is also a stand out, amazing doctor that I highly recommend. The front staff is unlike any other I've experienced, especially Ethan who rightly deserves a mention as he is the most responsive, communicative, professional and thorough individual I have met to date behind an office counter. He is on another level. …

    I know it sounds trite, but Dr. McNiff is the best doctor I have ever had. Period. The reasons are obvious when meeting Dr. McNiff for the first time. But beyond his genuine benevolence and solid medical knowledge, Dr. McNiff is always available for questions or guidance. I appreciate the obvious extra efforts, whether it be a quick scheduling/rescheduling for an apportionment or a fast email response on a question. I am so happy to have found Mohawk Village Medical! Being sick will always be a nuisance, but to have a MD that I know who is willing, patient and beyond sweet means the world. I don't want to say I'm looking forward to my next flu, but I do look forward to seeing Dr. McNiff and his team again! Thank you. Thank you. -BH

    … if you're a new or potential patient of Dr. McNiff or Dr. Godwin, expect a different experience than you've had previously. Both doctors will talk to you like you are a human being. They will not blindly prescribe you medications and if they advise lab tests, it is because they have a reasonable, educated concern or need to rule things out. Their staff, while often extremely busy, are helpful and kind, even via email.

    Dr. McNiff always has been and still is the type of person who advocates for his patients. He's that rare doctor who does what he does because he truly cares. My husband and I have endless respect for him and his colleagues.

    Amazing staff and physician! Great service, easy to schedule appointments, and no wait. I have been to many doctors in my life and no one is better than Dr. McNiff. The office is easy to access by several subway lines, and friendly staff assist you with administrative details. I am grateful for my new doctor.
