Kana Chin, MD

As an internal medicine physician at NYU Langone Medical Associates – Bayside, I am passionate about improving lifestyles and preventing disease because I believe that “health” is the top priority for everyone’s life.

I specialize in managing chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and hyperlipidemia. With a background in both medicine and health promotion, I bring a unique perspective to patient care. My medical degree from Tokyo Medical University in Japan, combined with my experience as a health column writer and TV host, allows me to communicate effectively with my patients and provide comprehensive care. I completed my internal medicine residency at Northwell LIJ Forest Hills Hospital, where I was honored with the Excellence Community Service Award for my dedication to the community.

Throughout my career, I have focused on patient education and community service. I have taught CPR and hosted health webinars for Japanese-speaking individuals, emphasizing the importance of health awareness and preventive care. My work in these areas reflects my commitment to fostering strong partnerships with my patients and ensuring a positive patient experience.

My journey into medicine was inspired by my diverse background and a desire to make a meaningful impact on people's lives. After a 10-year career as a fashion model, I transitioned to medicine to pursue my passion for health and wellness. My educational background and experiences have shaped my approach to patient care, emphasizing the importance of a holistic and proactive approach to health.
