Satjit Bhusri, MD, FACC MD

Satjit Bhusri, MD, is the founder of Upper East Side Cardiology & Vein Institute, a private practice that offers comprehensive and personalized cardiac and vein care to patients in New York City. He is also clinical assistant professor of medicine (cardiology) at two prestigious academic medical centers, NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center and the Mount Sinai Hospital/Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he educates and mentors future cardiologists.

With over 20 years of experience in clinical cardiology and heart failure, Dr. Bhusri is a triple board-certified physician and a fellow of the American College of Cardiology, a prestigious credential that recognizes his excellence and leadership in the field. He's also a Yale School of Management graduate, a council member of the American Heart Association, and a multiple-award–winning cardiologist. As a heart disease survivor, Bhusri is passionate about providing accessible, personalized, and technology-based solutions for his patients, using his medical expertise, business acumen, and personal experience to deliver the best possible outcomes.

Bhusri completed all of his advanced medical training at Lenox Hill Hospital on the Upper East Side of New York City. During his tenure, he served as the chief medical resident, was president of the house officer association, and served as chief cardiac fellow.

Bhusri graduated from Cornell University as a Cornell Tradition Scholar with a bachelor of science degree in genetics and development, and SUNY-Downstate College of Medicine in Brooklyn as an alumni scholar. He has extensive research experience in molecular oncology and molecular hematology from Cold Spring Harbor Labs and Harvard Medical School, respectively. He also completed an accelerated executive management program at Yale University.

In 2015, Bhusri suffered from cardiac shock and was hospitalized for a month in intensive care. He was given only a 20 percent chance of survival. He survived. The doctor became the patient. With a strong network of top physicians and supportive family, he healed.

This experience became the cornerstone of his life and made him a more mindful and healthier person, physician, husband, and father. His hope is to share this experience with his patients as he helps them to become more mindful and healthier in their lives.

At the state-of-the-art practice in New York City, Bhusri and staff offer patients access to top-of-the-line diagnostic tools like echocardiogram and stress testing. Patients also receive personalized and comprehensive treatment plans for a variety of cardiovascular problems, including chest pain, heart failure, hypertension, palpitation, and varicose veins.
