A recent reception and ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the opening of Mount Sinai Doctors East 85th Street, the first multispecialty Mount Sinai Doctors Faculty Practice on the Upper East Side. The office occupies five floors at 234 East 85th Street.
The facility, which offers a wide range of coordinated primary and specialty care services, is staffed by primary care physicians, obstetricians/gynecologists, pediatricians, dermatologists, ophthalmologists, cardiologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, thoracic and vascular surgeons, pediatric otolaryngologists, facial plastic and reconstructive surgeons, rhinologists, and sinus surgeons. Oral maxillofacial surgery, cardiac rehabilitation, wellness, and nuclear cardiology programs will begin before the end of the year, and an ambulatory surgery center is scheduled to open in 2017.
“As health care shifts more and more toward the ambulatory setting, we need to create space to accommodate the growth of the Faculty Practice and programs that developed from combining with the former Continuum Health Partners hospitals,” said Michael Schaffer, Chief Operating Officer, Mount Sinai Doctors Faculty Practice. “This site conveniently provides primary care and procedure-based specialty care in an office setting.”
Burton P. Drayer, MD, Chief Executive Officer, Mount Sinai Doctors Faculty Practice, added: “The symbiotic partnership between our hospitals and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, which makes Mount Sinai so unique, will increasingly encompass ambulatory outpatient care, as well as the traditional hospital inpatient setting. I thank Mike Schaffer and his team, and our dedicated Department leadership, providers, and staff, for making the East 85th Street offsite facility such a beautiful, user-friendly space for our patients and staff.”
