Direct Primary Care for Hell's Kitchen Residents

U Care MD is conveniently located at 481 8th Ave, Suite 1144 — right along the eastern edge of Hell's Kitchen, easily reachable on foot or via the A/C/E and 1 trains at 34th St–Penn Station.

Hell's Kitchen has long been home to one of New York City's most vibrant LGBTQ+ communities, and U Care MD is proud to offer LGBTQIA+ affirming primary care designed with that community in mind.

 

Dr. Kuan-Yu Chen provides gender-affirming hormone therapy, PrEP, Doxy-PEP, and sexual health services in a space where patients can speak openly without fear of judgment.

What Sets U Care MD Apart for Hell's Kitchen Patients

  • Steps away via 8th Avenue or 9th Avenue, near Port Authority and Penn Station transit hubs

  • LGBTQIA+ affirming care from a provider who understands the community

  • Same or next-day appointments — no more waiting weeks for a sick visit

  • Direct access to Dr. Chen via text, call, or email between visits

  • Mental health care (anxiety, depression, ADHD) included as part of primary care

  • Transparent flat-rate membership — no insurance needed

A Practice Built Around Real Relationships

Many Hell's Kitchen residents are tired of rotating through different providers at large practices, never quite building a relationship with any one doctor. At U Care MD, you always see Dr. Chen — building continuity and trust over time.
