Primary Care for Koreatown Residents
Located at 481 8th Ave, Suite 1144 — just a few blocks from Koreatown's main strip on West 32nd Street — 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.
