About

From the diamond to the exam room

A career built on discipline, teamwork, and service — first as a professional athlete, then as a physician dedicated to accessible, high-quality urgent care.

🩺

The physician

Dr. Brandon Monk is an urgent care physician with UMD Urgent Care, practicing across Brooklyn (Williamsburg), Astoria, Long Island City, Flushing, and other high-volume New York sites. As a sole provider he has managed teams of medical assistants and front-office staff while caring for patients of all ages — from infants to centenarians.

His clinical work spans laceration repair, incision & drainage, joint reductions, point-of-care ultrasound, X-ray interpretation, EKG reading, foreign-body removal, annual physicals, and complex triage with emergency referral when needed.

He is board certified by the American Board of General Practice in the General Practice of Medicine and Surgery (September 2023), holds active medical licenses in New York and Georgia, and is certified in BLS, ACLS, ATLS, and PALS.

⚾

The athlete

Drafted by the Atlanta Braves in the 7th round (2005) out of LaGrange High School (LaGrange, GA), Brandon signed for a six-figure bonus and spent multiple seasons in the Braves farm system — Gulf Coast League, Danville, Rome, and Myrtle Beach.

A right-handed second baseman and third baseman, he earned Gulf Coast League Rookie Ball Player of the Month (August 2005) and helped the 2007 Danville Braves toward an Appalachian League championship run. He later played collegiately at Columbus State University and brought home an MLB College Tuition Scholarship and NCAA athletic/academic recognition.

Those years forged the leadership, composure under pressure, and team-first mindset that define how he practices medicine today.
