“A luxury medical clinic” is how celebrity osteopathic physician Dr. Poonam Desai describes Longevity Place, her new business. The newly opened wellness center provides longevity care and integrative medicine, serving as a one-stop shop for all your wellness needs.
If you are someone who is interested in health and wellness, Dr. Poonam Desai’s name might ring a bell, either from her substantial Instagram following, her TedX Talk, or one of her many interviews on different news platforms. When first moving to Scarsdale after practicing as a medical director in both New York and California, she started doing telemedicine out of her home. After gaining much popularity in Westchester and through her Instagram, along with her immense interest in fitness and nutrition, Dr. Desai followed her passion as she decided to open up her own clinic.
“We offer almost everything wellness- and health-related that you can think of,” says Dr. Desai when speaking about Longevity Place. Before Longevity Place, longevity medicine did not exist in Scarsdale, and there were very few practices in the surrounding Westchester areas offering such services. Dr. Desai reflects on visiting other existing clinics and shares, “if it exists, I’m not wasting my time doing it.” But after realizing that her idea was unique, she created a one-of-a-kind clinic.

Plenty of locals have multiple doctors and visit a variety of clinics to get the services they need. With this in mind, Longevity Place aims to reduce the need for multiple trips with an all-in-one experience. It was important for Dr. Desai to have a close, understanding, and trusting relationship with her clients. She emphasizes that, “to have lasting lifestyle changes, you do want to have a partnership with your doctor.”
Her relationships with her clients are on a more trusting and personal level as she sees them multiple times a year and has an understanding of their medical background and history. With this, she is able to give personalized treatments and advice to each client. When going to Longevity Place, there is no need to consult your primary doctor; in fact, many people visit and consult Dr. Desai as their primary doctor. Her clinic not only serves as a health and wellness center but also functions as a regular doctor’s clinic.
Longevity Place offers multiple services that are similar to those of a medical spa. There are treatments such as infrared sauna sessions, red light therapy, cold plunge, IV therapy, vitamin shots, advanced medical testing such as genetics and biological age testing, a weight loss program, hormone replacement program, peptide therapy, and massage. The full list of services can be found on the Longevity Place website, and each service can be personalized after consulting with Dr. Desai.

Depending on your specific and personal needs, these treatments can be for anyone and everyone no matter your lifestyle or age. “You can slow down aging at any age,” Dr. Desai notes, adding that she currently treats patients who are as young as 20 as well as those who are in their 70s. She explains, “while we can’t change our chronological age…there is an opportunity to slow down aging and go backwards by changing your biological age.” Overall, this is one of the biggest goals of the treatments at Longevity Place.
Looking ahead, because the medical field is constantly evolving and advancing, Dr. Desai plans for Longevity Place to grow with those changes in order to have the most advanced technology and up-to-date information.
