Dear Patient,
I hope you have had an excellent summer.
I am writing with important and exciting news. As of October 1, 2025, I will be moving my practice to two new locations. I will now have a Downtown and an Uptown office for your convenience. Downtown, our address is 101 West 12th Street just west of 6th Avenue. Uptown, 1225 Park Avenue, Suite 1D on the northeast corner of East 95th Street.
My new telephone number is (929) 706-0070, however the original number, (212) 860-2600, will remain active providing my updated number.
My email address is obgyn@parkaveobgyn.com. Fax is fax@parkaveobgyn.com. The web address is parkavewomenscenter.com.
In these new locations, I will continue to provide the same concierge-style ObGyn care. Nothing else will change. I will participate in network on all commercial insurance plans and Medicare and I will continue to take care of my patients at Mount Sinai Hospital. All of your medical records will remain securely stored by my office through Mount Sinai's electronic medical record (Epic).
If you have an appointment scheduled for October, my office will call you during the week prior to your appointment to be sure you have all the information you need for your first visit to one of my new locations.
With my best regards,
Shari Leipzig MD
