Do you offer women's health in Chinatown?

Yes. Our office at 75 Catherine St provides well-woman exams, Pap and HPV testing, birth control visits, menopause care and treatment for common infections. Your provider also keeps track of blood pressure, cholesterol and bone health, so gynecologic care is not separated from the rest of your record. Imaging such as mammograms and ultrasound is arranged by referral to a nearby center, and we follow up with you on the results.

How do I book women's health at 75 Catherine St?

You can request a time online through our [appointment page](/appointment) or call the Chinatown front desk during office hours, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM. Tell us whether you need a routine well-woman exam or have a new symptom, since that affects the length of the slot. Same-day appointments are held back each weekday for urgent problems, and walk-ins are seen when the schedule allows.

Is women's health covered by insurance?

Most health plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, cover an annual preventive visit and cervical cancer screening at recommended intervals, often with no copay. Visits for a specific problem, such as pelvic pain or an infection, are usually billed as regular office visits and may carry a copay or deductible. Referred imaging is billed by the imaging center. Call our Catherine Street staff with your insurance card so we can confirm your plan.

Which subway station is closest to the Chinatown clinic?

East Broadway on the F train is the nearest station, roughly a 10-minute walk from our door. If you ride the 4, 5 or 6, get off at Brooklyn Bridge–City Hall; J or Z riders can use Chambers St; from either stop, walk east past Chatham Square to Catherine Street. If you prefer the bus, the M9 and M22 both run nearby and are an easy option for patients with limited mobility.

Women's Health at Our Chinatown Clinic

Women's health in Chinatown works best when it fits around real schedules: a garment shop shift on Division Street, a desk job in the Financial District, or caring for grandchildren in Two Bridges. At our Catherine Street office, a single provider can handle your Pap test, blood pressure check and medication refill in one visit instead of three separate trips. The general service overview lives on its own page; this one focuses on the local details: who you will see here, how the visit runs, and how to reach us from the Lower East Side or downtown offices. Mammograms and pelvic or breast ultrasounds are not done in our office; when you need imaging, we write the referral, help you choose a nearby center and review the results with you afterward.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Plan on about 30 to 45 minutes for a first well-woman appointment. A medical assistant takes your vitals and asks about your cycle, pregnancies, medications and family history, with a Chinese- or Spanish-speaking team member available if you prefer. Your provider then talks through your concerns before any exam, explains each step, and stops whenever you ask. Screening samples are sent to an outside lab, and you usually hear back within about a week. If a referral is needed, you leave knowing the next step.

Why Patients in Chinatown Choose Us

Many of our patients were putting off care because explaining a private symptom through a relative felt uncomfortable. Here, forms and conversations can happen in Chinese, English or Spanish directly with our staff. The office sits a short walk from Chatham Square, so women who work in lower Manhattan can come at lunch and be back before the afternoon rush. Mothers and daughters often book back-to-back slots, and older patients appreciate that we coordinate bone health, heart risk and gynecologic questions in one chart.

Conditions We Treat

Common reasons women in Chinatown and the Lower East Side book with us include:

Well-woman exams and cervical cancer screening (Pap and HPV testing)
Birth control counseling and prescriptions
Irregular, heavy or painful periods

Hot flashes, night sweats and other menopause changes
Osteoporosis risk review, with bone density scans by referral
Breast concerns, with mammograms and ultrasound by referral

Insurance Accepted in Chinatown

Finding a Medicaid doctor in Chinatown who also offers gynecologic screening can take several phone calls, so we keep it simple. We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicaid and Medicare, and our front desk can check your coverage before the appointment. Under most plans, a yearly well-woman visit and guideline-based cervical screening count as preventive care, while visits for a new problem may carry a copay. Plans differ, so please call to confirm yours. Our insurance page explains what to bring and how billing works. If you are uninsured, ask our staff about self-pay options at the time you schedule.
