Joseph N. Shams, MD

Perched on the upper edge of Central Harlem, Joseph N. Shams, MD anchors a quiet corner where precision and vascular health converge. The stretch of East 116th Street here carries the weight of everyday routines amidst brownstone memories and the low hum of city transit. It’s the kind of place where a specialist’s office can feel as solid as the architecture around it.

Avascular surgeon brings clarity to tangled circulation issues—aneurysm repair, varicose vein treatments, dialysis access creation, and more—all under one hospital-grade roof. The office sits at 505 East 116th Street, Suite 400, a straightforward climb to care that doesn’t ask patients to cross the neighborhood twice. Vascular labs and outpatient imaging often bookend the visits, streamlining what could otherwise stretch into weeks.

How to slot an appointment without rearranging the rest of the week? Weave (646) 317-8228 into your planning. The line answers directly, which is useful when timing matters for pre- or post-op steps. Leave room between the visit and the commute back, since the stoplights on Third Avenue keep their own schedule.

Find the building’s front door, then head up to Suite 400. The maps listing has the exact turn-by-turns if the numbered door feels like a puzzle: view on map. Once you’re inside the hallway, the neighborhood’s late-morning light still lingers, keeping the walk back brisk but unhurried.
