Board-Certified Family Medicine  ·  13+ Years Clinical Experience

Dr. Zafirov is a Board-certified Family Medicine physician with over 13 years of clinical experience. She completed her residency training in Family Medicine at Mercy Medical Center in Iowa.

Dr. Zafirov has extensive experience in geriatric medicine and adult-focused primary care. Her areas of emphasis include complex chronic disease management, polypharmacy, functional assessment, cognitive decline, frailty, and mental health.
