Michael Chong Min Kim, MD

Upper East Side cardiology doesn’t get more precise than this. Michael Chong Min Kim, MD sees patients at 130 East 77th Street, 9th Floor, a building that sits between Madison and Park in a neighborhood where every block has at least one defibrillator mounted on a doorman’s desk. The practice handles everything from routine lipid panels to stress echocardiograms, pacemaker checks, and long-term management of hypertension and arrhythmias. Black Hall is the kind of address that appears on referral pads across the borough; the elevator banks are quiet, the corridors narrow, and the waiting room—if there even is one—remains invisible to anyone who hasn’t already booked an appointment.

Cardiology on the Upper East Side often feels like a series of discreet, high-ceilinged offices where the hum of an EKG machine blends with the distant clatter of a coffee cart. To schedule a visit, ring (212) 434-2606—the line picks up quickly, and the voice on the other end sounds like it belongs to someone who has fielded calls from both Park Avenue doormen and visiting professors from Weill Cornell. Directions are straightforward: map.
