Dr. Shawn Shah

The Upper East Side sits between the quiet glass towers of Lenox Hill and the steady pulse of Lexington Avenue’s traffic. Here, in that calm stretch of 1305 York Avenue, one finds Dr. Shawn Shah, a gastroenterologist whose practice balances the precision of academic medicine with the rhythm of life on the avenue. East River breezes carry the scent of nearby Carl Schurz Park, while midtown commuters and longtime residents alike drift past the polished limestone corner building without always noticing the nameplate tucked beside the revolving door.

Between office calls for colonoscopies and liver health evaluations, the clinic keeps a compact schedule that responds to the neighborhood’s cadence. Adult patients and seniors alike navigate the same beige-marble lobby on their way to appointments for reflux evaluation, colon cancer screening, and viral hepatitis management. Iron infusions and motility testing share the same corridor, kept separate from pediatric patients who rarely need the adult-focused services. The phone line stays open mid-morning for next-day referrals and urgent consults, with the staff directing calls to the consulting line when specialists are briefing their cases.

If York Avenue feels more like a wide residential spine than a thoroughfare, the map offers the fastest way to thread between Park and First. Use the directions to 1305 York Ave, New York, NY 10021, then follow the building directory straight to the second-floor suite. Need to confirm timing or route?
