Camay Chiu, MD

Anesthesiologists don’t usually get a byline, but their work keeps the city’s operating rooms running. Camay Chiu, MD, practices at 310 E 14th St, a stretch of the East Village where pre-war walk-ups share sidewalks with late-night delis and the occasional bike messenger weaving through traffic. The specialty itself is a quiet corner of medicine—monitoring vitals, adjusting doses, ensuring the body stays steady while surgeons focus on the task at hand. It’s the kind of role that disappears into the procedure, though anyone who’s been under the lights knows how crucial it is. Directions can be pulled from the map; the office is a short walk from Union Square, where the subway hums beneath the pavement. For questions or scheduling, the number is (212) 979-4465.
