ColumbiaDoctors is the medical practice comprising faculty of Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, College of Dental Medicine, and School of Nursing. More than 225 physicians, dentists, and nurse practitioners offer comprehensive medical services, including cardiology, executive health, pre- and post-surgical care, psychiatry, radiology, travel medicine, and women's health, as well as laboratory services at the new Midtown location.
Designed for the convenience of patients, ColumbiaDoctors Midtown offers coordinated appointments for those seeing multiple specialists, comfortable waiting areas, and ample natural light. Services are available from early morning to evening and on Saturdays. There is shuttle service between ColumbiaDoctors Midtown and NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Medical Center in Washington Heights.
Easily accessible via foot, car, and mass transit, the new facility is adjacent to Rockefeller Center and a short distance from the Port Authority Bus Terminal, Penn Station, and Grand Central Terminal. Discounted valet- and self-parking is available.
"People come from throughout the Tri-State area, and even beyond, to see Columbia doctors. The new ColumbiaDoctors Midtown makes it even easier—for both our existing patients and our new ones— to be cared for by our renowned experts," said Lee Goldman, MD, dean of the faculties of health sciences and medicine and executive vice president for health and biomedical sciences, Columbia University Medical Center.
The practice was formerly called ColumbiaDoctors Eastside and located at 16 East 60th St. The need to expand and establish a larger presence in Midtown fueled the move to 51st Street. The new location is expected to serve at least 20 percent more patients per year. The facility has approximately 125,000 square feet and 125 exam rooms. In addition to the 225 healthcare professionals who practice at the Midtown location, patients have access to the entire 1,200-member ColumbiaDoctors multi-specialty practice and its locations in New York City, Westchester, and throughout the Tri-State area.
