Direct Primary Care for Chelsea Residents
If you live or work in Chelsea, U Care MD is just minutes away at 481 8th Ave, Suite 1144 — easily accessible via the A/C/E or 1 train at 23rd Street or 34th Street–Penn Station, or a short walk down 8th Avenue.
Chelsea residents know that finding a doctor who actually has time for you can feel impossible.
Most primary care practices in the area are overbooked, with appointments weeks out and visits that feel rushed.
U Care MD offers a refreshing alternative: a membership-based Direct Primary Care practice where same-day and next-day appointments are the norm, not the exception.
As a neighborhood with one of the largest LGBTQ+ communities in New York City, Chelsea residents also benefit from Dr. Kuan-Yu Chen's LGBTQIA+ affirming approach to care — including gender-affirming hormone therapy, PrEP, Doxy-PEP, and sexual health services delivered without judgment.
