Amna B. Buttar, MD

First Avenue in Kips Bay rarely feels like a medical corridor. Yet among the mid-rise towers, Amna B. Buttar, MD occupies the 14th floor at 550 1st Ave, a quiet address for geriatric care in Manhattan. The practice specializes in the medical nuances of aging—chronic-condition management, medication reconciliation, cognitive assessments, mobility evaluations, and preventive screenings—without the institutional rhythm of a hospital clinic. Questions about polypharmacy or fall risk often surface here, where the focus stays on maintaining independence rather than merely treating symptoms.

Geriatrics isn’t a specialty most New Yorkers seek until necessity arrives. When it does, the office can be reached at (212) 263-7300 for appointments or clarifications. The building sits between 31st and 32nd Streets, steps from NYU Langone’s main campus, a detail that simplifies referrals for patients already navigating the system.
