SERVING HOWARD BEACH, QUEENS

Vascular & Orthopedic Care for Howard Beach, Without the Trip Into Manhattan

Vascular, orthopedic, and minimally invasive care for Howard Beach patients — at our Forest Hills office.

If you live in Howard Beach, you know how the neighborhood sits a little apart from the rest of Queens, tucked between Jamaica Bay and the marshes of the Gateway National Recreation Area, with Cross Bay Boulevard tying it all together. That quiet, settled feel is part of what makes it home. It also means that when knee pain, leg swelling, or a vascular concern comes up, the last thing you want is a long haul into the city for specialist care. Our Forest Hills office gives you a closer option, staffed by vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and orthopedic specialists.

From Old Howard Beach to Lindenwood and Rockwood Park, plenty of our neighbors are looking for answers that don't start with major surgery. That's much of what we do. Our team focuses on minimally invasive, image-guided procedures, many of them outpatient, for conditions like knee osteoarthritis, peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, and fibroids. The goal is straightforward: address the underlying problem with the least disruption to your day-to-day life.

Getting to Forest Hills from Howard Beach is an easy stretch up Cross Bay Boulevard, which feeds into Woodhaven Boulevard toward our Austin Street office. Whether you're an active resident dealing with a nagging shoulder, or you've been told a knee replacement might be in your future and want to understand your alternatives first, we're glad to talk it through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Howard Beach Patients Ask

How far is your office from Howard Beach?
Our Forest Hills office is a manageable drive up Cross Bay Boulevard from Howard Beach, with Woodhaven Boulevard feeding toward our Austin Street location. For most residents it's a far shorter trip than heading into Manhattan for specialist care.
I've been told I may need a knee replacement. Are there other options?
Possibly. For knee osteoarthritis, we offer non-surgical approaches including Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure that may help reduce knee pain for some patients. It isn't right for everyone, so we'll review your imaging and history to see whether you're a candidate before recommending anything.
What can I do about varicose veins or leg swelling?
We evaluate varicose veins and venous insufficiency, which are common causes of aching, heaviness, and swelling in the legs. Many treatments are minimally invasive and done on an outpatient basis. A consultation lets us understand your symptoms and explain which options may fit your situation.
Do you offer primary care at the Forest Hills location?
No. Primary care is available only at our Bronx office. For Howard Beach patients, our Forest Hills location focuses on vascular care, orthopedics and sports medicine, knee and shoulder pain treatment, and minimally invasive embolization procedures.
