About
At Anise Medical, Dr. Marissa Toussaint delivers direct primary care from her Brooklyn practice with a focus on the doctor-patient relationship. She founded the practice around 2020, drawing on more than fifteen years of clinical experience. Her approach combines traditional family medicine with culinary and obesity medicine, creating a genuinely integrated model of care.
Dr. Toussaint serves patients across New York State through both in-person visits at 81 Willoughby Street and virtual appointments. Her clinical scope runs wide: preventive care, women's health, chronic disease management, behavioral health, HIV PrEP, and medically supervised weight loss. She holds triple board certification in family medicine, obesity medicine, and culinary medicine. She also performs USCIS immigration medical exams as a certified civil surgeon. Corporate cooking events and community culinary classes round out a practice built on the idea that food and medicine belong together.
