As of October 2015, the Behcet's Treatment Center in New York City has become part of the Seligman Center for Advanced Therapeutics (246 E 20th Street, still part of the NYU Center for Joint Diseases). Dr. Yazici, founder of the Center, is now concentrating on research, but the location is still accepting new BD patients.
Click here for the brochure about the Seligman Center, with contact information. The list of diseases that can get infusions doesn't include Behcet's, but that was probably an oversight when they revised the brochure.
Phone number for appointments: 1-646-356-9400.
