Chirag R. Barbhaiya, MD

Cardiology practices dot the blocks around NYU Langone, but not all share the same address. Chirag R. Barbhaiya, MD keeps an office on the sixth floor of the HCC building at 530 1st Avenue, just steps from the FDR Drive overpass. The spot puts routine screenings and specialized arrhythmia consultations within easy reach of anyone working or living in Kips Bay.

Patients here typically see evaluations for atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and syncope, alongside device checks for pacemakers and defibrillators. The practice also handles pre-operative cardiac clearance and long-term management of hypertension, so office visits often feel more like tune-ups than crisis care. That steady rhythm of preventive and follow-up appointments keeps the schedule humming without the frantic energy of an emergency department.

When it’s time to book, they pick up at (212) 263-7149. For directions, pull up the map on your phone; the building sits between 31st and 30th Streets, where the sidewalks stay busy with hospital staff and delivery bikes all day.
