NYU Langone is making care even more accessible in Brooklyn, recently opening its first location in Greenpoint. It combines the comprehensive resources, technology, and expertise of NYU Langone with the physicians who neighborhood residents have come to know and trust.

NYU Langone Medical Associates – Greenpoint, previously known as
Manhattan Medical, is a multispecialty practice located at 1934
Manhattan Avenue, Suite A. Doctors there specialize in a dozen
clinical areas: allergy, cardiology, ENT, gastroenterology, internal
medicine, endocrinology, neurology, oncology, ophthalmology,
orthopedic surgery, pediatrics, and podiatry.

For more complex specialty care, patients can be seen – seamlessly —
within the NYU Langone health system, either at NYU Lutheran Medical  Center http://www.lutheranhealthcare.org/Main/Home.aspx in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, or at NYU Langone’s main campus in Manhattan.

With the goal of bringing care to the communities where patients live
and work, there are now more than 40 NYU Langone ambulatory care
locations in Brooklyn, which is more than one-quarter of all of NYU
Langone’s ambulatory sites across the region. This is important
because approximately 25 percent of patients utilizing NYU Langone in Manhattan, in fact, live in Brooklyn.
