Who We Are

Medicine the Way It Should Be: Personal, Thorough, and Community-Centered

Main Street Medical — formally known as Metro True Care Medical, P.C. — was founded with a singular conviction: that every patient, regardless of background or language, deserves a physician who sees them as a whole person.

Located at 139 Centre Street, Suite 709, in the heart of Manhattan's Chinatown, our practice was established in 2007 to fill a genuine gap: a primary care home for the Asian-American community and the broader Lower Manhattan neighborhood that offered clinical excellence alongside cultural and linguistic familiarity.

Today, we serve a diverse community of patients of all ages and backgrounds. Our physicians are board-certified internists who have trained at some of the most respected institutions in the country — including Sun Yat-Sen University, St. Barnabas Hospital, Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Western University of Health Sciences, and the State University of New York at Buffalo.

We believe the best medical outcomes come from the best patient-doctor relationships — and that means speaking your language, understanding your culture, and taking the time to truly listen.

What Guides Us

Our Core Values

These aren't mission statement words — they're the everyday commitments that shape every appointment, every conversation, and every care decision we make.

Community First

We exist because of our community and for our community. Every clinical decision is made with the patient's full life — their family, culture, and circumstances — in mind.

Clinical Excellence

Our physicians hold board certifications in Internal Medicine and train continuously within the Rendr network to stay at the forefront of evidence-based primary care.

Cultural Competence

We speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. But cultural competence goes beyond language — it means understanding the values, concerns, and perspectives that shape health decisions.

Inclusive Access

Our clinic features a wheelchair-accessible entrance and accessible restrooms. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and a broad range of commercial insurance plans.

Modern Convenience

Telehealth, patient portal access, and free in-office Wi-Fi ensure that managing your health fits seamlessly into your busy New York life.

Genuine Compassion

Good medicine is also good humanity. We treat every patient with the same attention and care we'd want for our own families — because that's exactly who we're serving.
