Personalized care, convenience, and the benefits of Membership.
Dr. Libby Joffe and Dr. Zhanna Branovan have joined Castle Connolly Private Health Partners to establish Advanced Internal Medicine CCPHP, to deliver unrivaled healthcare experiences with a focus on wellness and prevention.
Welcome to our Concierge Program
Collaborating with Castle Connolly Private Health Partners (CCPHP) has allowed us to create a more optimized healthcare experience for you. The Membership-based or “concierge” model we practice gives us more time to build the strong doctor-patient relationships that are essential to helping you achieve optimal wellness.
The structure of our Membership Program is designed with one simple focus: you.
DR. LIBBY JOFFE
Libby Joffe, MD, is board certified in internal medicine and has more than 33 years of experience. She is a co-founder of Advanced Internal Medicine in Wayne, New Jersey and is affiliated with Atlantic Health System.
Dr. Joffe graduated from Bukovinian State Medical University in Western Ukraine. She went on to complete residencies at Morristown Medical Center, and an internship in internal medicine at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. Before founding Advanced Internal Medicine, she practiced at Matrix Medical Network with focus on geriatric patients and at a primary care office.
Medicine has been a passion of Dr. Joffe’s since an early age. She always had a genuine interest in health, causes of illnesses, and ways to find cure. Although her work today as an internist is still about understanding and treating patients’ conditions, preventive medicine has a much more front-and-center role in the care she provides.
“Preventive medicine is key to better health and quality of life for my patients, but for it to work optimally, we must first establish a close doctor-patient relationship,” she said. “It’s this relationship that creates trust, strengthens communication, gives patients a stronger measure of control over their own health journey and outcome, and enables me to deliver the personalized care that can help my patients enjoy a good quality of life.”
Throughout her career, Dr. Joffe has received praise and recognition for her outstanding patient care, medical knowledge, and thorough and easy communication style, not only from her patients but from her peers. She has been named as an American Top Physician, one of Jersey’s Best Top Doctors, as well as a Castle Connolly Top Doctor.
DR. ZHANNA BRANOVAN
Zhanna Branovan, MD, is board certified in internal medicine and has nearly 30 years of experience. She is a co-founder of Advanced Internal Medicine in Wayne, New Jersey and is affiliated with Atlantic Health System.
Dr. Branovan received her medical degree from and completed her residency at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, one of the nation’s largest programs for medical education.
Before co-founding Advanced Internal Medicine, Dr. Branovan worked as an internist at the Cardiology Associates. Over the years she has written articles on topics related to her specialty.
Working with diverse patients with diverse conditions early in her career helped shape her philosophy for how she has practiced medicine over the past few decades.
“The focus of today’s healthcare system is for doctors to see as many patients in as little time as possible and apply care with a one-size-fits-all brush,” she said. “Not only does this model not work, it also significantly jeopardizes quality of care. What does work, I’ve found, is delivering personalized high-quality care rooted in the mind-body-spirit connection.”
This unique philosophy has earned Dr. Branovan acclaim from patients and peers alike, as well as earned her awards and spots on various top doctors lists over the last several years, including Exceptional Women In Medicine, New Jersey's Best Magazine Top Doctors, Top Doctors New York Metro Area, and New York Magazine Top Doctors.

Members of the concierge program pay an affordable fee to take advantage of a wide array of guaranteed enhancements to facilitate a more unhurried, connected, and personalized approach to healthcare. Concierge physicians typically have smaller patient panels, which means they can spend more time seeing patients.
