Priyanka Sham Makkar, MD, FACP

As a pulmonologist on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Priyanka Sham Makkar, MD, FACP accepts both new patients and referrals for managing conditions like COPD, asthma, and interstitial lung disease. The office sits on the third floor of 178 East 85th Street, one block below the Museum Mile buzz that shapes daily routines along Fifth Avenue. Conditions don’t wait, so scheduling an initial visit starts with a call rather than a form.

Inhalers, nebulizers, and oxygen therapy evaluations are straightforward components of the practice. The practice also coordinates sleep studies and allergy testing, two services that often intersect with lung health. Follow-ups for recent hospital discharges or complex inhaler technique checks are scheduled case by case. Medication adjustments are refined during these sessions rather than by phone whenever possible.

Get directions from anywhere in the city using the practice’s mapped location. The office is a seven-minute walk to the 4/5/6 lines at 86th Street or two short blocks west of Central Park. If you need to lock in a visit now, ring (212) 737-0470 and leave a message between Monday and Friday before close—return calls come within one business day.
