Chinatown Cardiology, P.C. has been providing unparalleled diagnosis, management, and treatment of cardiovascular conditions to the residents of New York City for more than two decades.
Since opening it's first office in the Chinatown neighborhood of Manhattan in 1996, the state-of-the art practice has grown to a team of eight leading cardiologists trained at New York City’s top medical institutions and offering care in three locations. In addition to Chinatown, these include offices in Brooklyn and Flushing, New York. Along with cardiac care, the practice now also offers a full scope of diagnostic and treatment services for vascular conditions.
Together, these highly-trained, multi-credentialed physicians provide superior care. Chinatown Cardiology has non-invasive laboratories (echocardiography, vascular imaging, and nuclear cardiology) which are fully accredited by ICAEL, ACR, and ICANL. To further improve convenience and continuity of care for patients, the practice recently integrated office-based ambulatory procedures for the management and treatment of varicose veins and peripheral vascular diseases. Chinatown Cardiology’s new AAAASF-accredited peripheral catheterization laboratory incorporates leading-edge technology to deliver treatments that are traditionally available only in the hospital setting, including but not limited to peripheral angiogram, angioplasty, and stenting.
Chinatown Cardiology is affiliated with Mount Sinai Beth Israel and its cardiologists also practice at New York Methodist Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital, and NYU Langone Medical Center, providing a wide array of in-hospital services including cardiology consultations, cardiac and peripheral catheterizations, Trasncatheter Aortic Valve Replacements, electrophysiology studies, pacemaker and defibrillator implantations, and catheter ablations for arrhythmias.
Chinatown Cardiology offers 24/7 service for acute myocardial infarction and advanced arrhythmia care. The goal of each physician at the practice is to provide every patient with the most comprehensive cardiovascular care in a personal and professional setting.
