U Care MD is a primary care practice in the heart of the Garment District — located at 481 8th Ave, Suite 1144, steps from Penn Station, Moynihan Train Hall, and Hudson Yards. For the thousands of professionals, residents, and commuters in this part of Midtown West, it's one of the most accessible primary care options in New York City.

​

Getting primary care in this neighborhood shouldn't mean waiting weeks for an appointment or settling for a rushed 10-minute visit. U Care MD operates on a Direct Primary Care model — a flat monthly membership that gives you same-day access, direct communication with your doctor, and comprehensive primary care without the insurance bureaucracy.

​

Primary Care That Fits Around Your Schedule

Whether you're working long hours in Hudson Yards, managing a business in the Garment District, or commuting through Penn Station every day, U Care MD is built for people who don't have time to wait:

• Same or next-day appointments — morning, midday, or after work

• Virtual visits for follow-ups, prescription management, and minor concerns

• Direct text, call, or email access to Dr. Chen — handle quick questions without a full appointment

• Flat monthly membership — no surprise bills, no insurance hassle, one predictable cost

Skip Urgent Care — Get Real Primary Care Instead

For busy professionals near Hudson Yards and the Garment District, urgent care has often become the default when something comes up. But a CityMD visit runs $300+ cash pay, involves waiting, and offers zero follow-up. U Care MD gives you the same-day access of urgent care with the continuity, thoroughness, and personal relationship of a real primary care doctor — for a flat monthly fee.
