Mount Sinai Opens New Multi-Specialty Practice in Queens with Ribbon Cutting and Health Fair
The Mount Sinai Health System is opening a new state-of-the-art medical practice to serve the Rego Park/Forest Hills community. Mount Sinai Doctors Forest Hills is a 12,000-square-foot facility centrally located on Queens Boulevard. The multi-specialty practice has specialists in primary care, cardiology, endocrinology, general and vascular surgery, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, and urology. Radiology and lab services are also available on-site.
The new practice offers local residents and those who work in the area access to experienced, compassionate physicians. Patients who need advanced procedures or care for complex conditions will be referred to The Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Queens, or one of the other five Mount Sinai Health System hospitals. The Mount Sinai Health System and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai offer world-renowned care and groundbreaking medical protocols.
Four existing Mount Sinai practices from the area have come together under one roof to provide personalized high-quality medical care with physicians dedicated to building ongoing relationships with their patients that can last a lifetime.
“We are proud to bring the compassionate, expert care of Mount Sinai physicians to the Forest Hills/Rego Park Community,” said Arthur Klein, MD, President of the Mount Sinai Health Network. “Featuring a prominent cardiology practice and the expertise of specialists from a spectrum of disciplines, we provide life-long personalized care. The people of Queens now have additional access to the advanced care, innovative therapies, and pioneering research of our seven hospitals and the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.”
A ribbon-cutting event was held on Tuesday evening, October 10, from 6:30 to 8 pm. City officials and local government representatives attended. Mount Sinai executives and physicians from the practice also participated.
“We're excited to support the Mount Sinai expansion in Forest Hills, increasing access to high quality primary and multi-specialty care for the community. It's a continuation of the significant investments Mount Sinai is making in the borough, building on the recent $175 million expansion on the Mount Sinai Queens campus. Mount Sinai Queens is proud to partner with our Forest Hill colleagues in continuing to expand care to the great borough of Queens," said, Caryn A. Schwab, Executive Director, Mount Sinai Queens.
On Saturday October 14, from 10 am to 1 pm, Mount Sinai Doctors Forest Hills will host a free open house for the public.
