After the ribbon was cut, the cheering began for ColumbiaDoctors Midtown. The ribbon was cut by, from left, Philip Milstein, a NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital trustee; Robert Kelly, NYP president and COO; Steven J. Corwin, NYP CEO; Louis Bigliani, president of ColumbiaDoctors; Robyn Gmyrek, chair of the ColumbiaDoctors Midtown board of directors; Lee Goldman, CUMC EVP and dean; Kenneth Forde, a Columbia and NYP trustee; and Mark McDougle, CUMC COO.
ColumbiaDoctors Midtown, part of a growing constellation of Columbia medical practices, opened its doors in January. Patients were welcomed Jan. 2, 2013, and a ceremonial ribbon-cutting on Jan. 24, 2013, allowed health care professionals, Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital trustees, medical school leadership, and hospital leadership to formally mark the opening of the facility at 51 W. 51st St. in New York City.
ColumbiaDoctors, Columbia’s faculty practice organization, now has locations in several Manhattan neighborhoods, Riverdale in the Bronx, and multiple locations in Westchester, Rockland, and Orange counties north of the city.
The new ColumbiaDoctors Midtown, which includes more than 225 dentists, nurse practitioners, and physicians in more than 20 specialties and subspecialties, has extended hours (Monday-Friday from 6:45 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). Formerly called ColumbiaDoctors Eastside, the practice relocated from East 60th Street to the larger Midtown location, where patient volume is expected to grow 20 percent each year. The facility has three floors, approximately 125,000 square feet, 125 exam rooms, and more than 30 rooms for procedures. In addition to comprehensive medical services, the facility offers specialists in executive health and travel medicine. The location has laboratory services; fully equipped physical therapy, occupational therapy, and sports therapy facilities; and an imaging suite that offers endoscopy, interventional radiology, X-ray, PET/CT, MRI, mammography, fluoroscopy, and other specialized tests.
Patients who see health care professionals at the Midtown location will continue to have access to the entire ColumbiaDoctors multi-specialty practice, and shuttle service is available between ColumbiaDoctors Midtown and the flagship ColumbiaDoctors practice in Washington Heights.
The Midtown location, between Fifth and Sixth avenues, is steps from public transportation, parking, and Rockefeller Center amenities. The practice offers valet parking and discounted self-parking.
“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,” says Lee Goldman, MD, P&S dean.
ColumbiaDoctors offers 1,200-plus clinicians in more than 80 specialties and subspecialties throughout multiple locations (see list). More information and links to all locations are available at columbiadoctors.org. The new Midtown location can be reached at 212-326-8500.
