Dr. Tingyin Tina Chee

Dr. Tingyin Tina Chee is a physician and partner at Updesign Primary Care in Syracuse. She describes her role as that of a personal concierge physician and health coach, built around the idea that real health concerns rarely fit into a ten or fifteen minute visit.

Her approach centers on giving patients the time medicine often shortchanges. She focuses on each person's individual health needs and wellness goals rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist, aiming for detailed, comprehensive care with personalized attention. Freed from the pressures insurance companies place on a typical visit, she is able to spend the time a patient's situation actually calls for, and to build the kind of access and continuity that comes with knowing someone well over time.
