About Us

Our Story

Urban Wellness Physicians was founded by brothers Rehan Shah (CEO) and Dr. Salman Shah (CMO), along with their partner Umar Minhas (COO) — three people who spent years watching the healthcare system prioritize volume over patients, and set out to build something that puts the community first.

Most of their childhoods were spent right here in Brooklyn — school days, summers with their fathers, and everything in between — where they saw early on what healthcare here can feel like: long waits, language barriers, and clinics that never felt like home.

All three came back to build the practice they wished their own families had, right here in Bushwick.

That same story runs through our entire team. Our providers come from ethnic and immigrant backgrounds across New York City, and many of us know firsthand what it’s like to juggle work, family, and other responsibilities while trying to stay healthy in a city that doesn’t always make that easy. That’s why accessibility isn’t just a value here — it’s personal. We keep our doors open with understanding, without judgment, and without the runaround.

Our Commitment to Affordable Healthcare: At Urban Wellness Physicians, we believe everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their insurance status. Therefore, our transparent pricing is clearly outlined on our website, ensuring that you are aware of the costs upfront. By striving to keep our services affordable, we enable you to prioritize your health without breaking the bank.

Additionally, by offering a comprehensive range of services, we address your healthcare needs promptly and effectively. Trust us for both primary care and urgent care.

Advanced Technology for Quick Results: At Urban Wellness Physicians, fast and reliable care doesn’t stop at diagnosis. Our in-house lab keeps turnaround times short, so you’re not left waiting days for answers that matter.

From scheduling to check-in, our technology-based registration and communication tools keep things simple, and our phones are staffed 24 hours a day for whenever you need us. Combined with our self-pay services, it all adds up to care that meets you on your schedule, not the other way around.
