Ever wondered "It shouldn’t be this hard to get good healthcare."?
Tired of:
-
Waiting weeks for an appointment?
-
Being asked to come in for something that could be handled virtually?
-
Sitting in the waiting room for 30+ minutes?
-
Feeling rushed during your visit?
-
Repeating your story to different providers?
-
Having your concerns ignored in the portal messages?
-
Being addressed with incorrect pronouns?
-
Being mistreated due to language barrier or different backgrounds?
-
Surprise medical bills?
Or maybe you’ve just been putting your health on the back burner because life is too busy and overwhelming.
At U Care MD, we put you first. You’ll have the time to talk openly with your doctor, ask questions, and receive thoughtful, personalized care that truly centers on your needs.
Hey there!
I'm Dr. Kuan-Yu (Kuan) Chen 陳冠宇 醫師 (he/him)!
I'm a board-certified family medicine doctor and a die-hard New Yorker by way of Taiwan. Growing up in both places, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for both cultures, but New York City is where I truly belong. Fluent in Mandarin, I connect with people from all backgrounds, providing culture-sensitive care that makes every patient feel respected and understood.
Having seen the flaws in traditional healthcare—long waits, rushed visits, and lack of personal connection—I founded U Care MD to offer accessible, affordable, and personalized care. My focus is on building strong patient-doctor relationships and providing high-quality, comprehensive care tailored to your unique needs.
With lived experience in the LGBTQIA+ community, I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space at U Care MD, where everyone—regardless of ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, or cultural background—feels truly seen, heard, and cared for.
U Care MD is an LGBTQIA+ affirming, membership-based Direct Primary Care practice offering personalized, high-quality care for busy New Yorkers of all gender identities and sexual orientations.
