Finding new healthcare in NYC
October 27, 2017 2:23 PM Subscribe
Next year, I will be relocating from the SF Bay Area peninsula (Sunnyvale/Mountain View/Santa Clara) to New York City. I need to find healthcare providers for chronic conditions.
I have a constellation of chronic health conditions, which means I see a lot of doctors on a frequent basis, and have been getting most of my healthcare through Palo Alto Medical Foundation (PAMF). I want to find the same kind of one-stop shop in NYC.
I will almost certainly be living in Brooklyn, and will almost certainly NOT have a car, so I need to find providers who are Metro-accessible.
My insurance will remain the same, a "gold-plated" PPO plan that allows me to see anyone I choose, within reason. That is, no HMO-style restrictions on referrals and the like.
NYC-area Mefites, especially those with chronic healthcare issues, I would be hugely grateful if you could weigh in with your recommendations (for or against) for medical professionals, groups, and so forth, particularly in the following specialties:

- Endocrinology
- Nephrology
- Cardiology
- Psychiatry
Sorry, I realize you already have insurance. Well, check out Montefiore doctors anyway. You can see a lot of specialists through them.

I tend to use doctors affiliated with NYU, and have been happy with them.
