Primary Care Doctor for
Koreatown Residents
U Care MD

Located at 481 8th Ave, Suite 1144 — just a few blocks from Koreatown's and a few steps from Penn Station — U Care MD offers a personalized alternative to the crowded clinics and walk-in urgent cares common in this part of Midtown.

​

Koreatown is one of Manhattan's busiest and most diverse neighborhoods, home to a large community of New Yorkers who value both convenience and culturally aware healthcare.

 

At U Care MD, Dr. Kuan-Yu Chen is fluent in Mandarin Chinese, making it easier for Mandarin-speaking patients in and around Koreatown to discuss their health concerns clearly and comfortably — without a language barrier getting in the way of good care.

​

We use a Direct Primary Care membership model — one predictable monthly fee for unlimited primary care access, no copays, no surprise bills, and direct communication with Dr. Chen between visits.
