Shevchuk Chaba Maria MD

Pathology isn’t the first specialty that comes to mind when you think of Upper East Side medicine. Yet behind the quiet doors at 525 E 68th St, Shevchuk Chaba Maria MD provides the microscopic clarity that keeps the neighborhood’s larger hospitals running. The practice sits on a tree-lined block where brownstones give way to mid-century medical towers, an unassuming address that belies the precision work happening inside.

Patients rarely walk in off the street; most arrive via referrals from surgeons, oncologists, and primary-care doctors who need tissue analysis, cytology reports, or autopsy findings. The office handles everything from routine biopsies to complex molecular diagnostics, all within the same building that houses Cornell’s outpatient clinics. Those needing directions can pull up the map to confirm the entrance nearest the FDR Drive service road.

While the Upper East Side buzzes with boutique fitness studios and juice bars, this corner of Yorkville remains a hub for serious diagnostics. To schedule a consultation or drop off specimens, ring (212) 746-3033—the same number that connects to the pathology suite where slides are read under fluorescence microscopes and reports are signed in triplicate. The neighborhood may feel polished, but the work here is anything but superficial.
