Angelique Anderson

Internal medicine just north of Columbia’s campus. The Washington Heights stretch of 161st Street isn’t flashy, but it’s where patients find Angelique Anderson, an internist serving the neighborhood from a first-floor suite. No frills, no fanfare—just a standard medical office with the basics covered, including a restroom on-site for patient convenience. This isn’t the kind of practice that advertises on subway cars or hands out branded stress balls. It’s the sort of place you hear about from a neighbor or spot while walking past the brick facades near the 1 train.

General internists handle the kind of care that doesn’t make headlines: chronic condition management, preventive screenings, those lingering questions about bloodwork. No specialty gimmicks, no wellness trends—just the fundamentals. The office sits at 575 W 161st St Ste 1, a block where the sidewalks hum with hospital staff, students grabbing coffee between classes, and longtime residents running errands. It’s a practical location, close enough to the medical center to feel connected but far enough to avoid the tourist shuffle of lower Manhattan.

Appointments here won’t involve spa-like amenities or a lobby with infused water. What you get is the unglamorous backbone of healthcare: someone to interpret symptoms, coordinate referrals, and maybe explain why that new medication’s side effects are (or aren’t) worth it. Internists often play traffic cop for the medical system, and in a city where specialists book out for months, having a steady primary care contact matters. No promises of miracle cures—just a map pin where patients can land between urgent care visits and ER trips.

Contact details are simple: call (212) 444-8877 to confirm hours or ask about new-patient availability. For directions, the map shows the entrance tucked between a bodega and a dry cleaner, right where the street starts to slope upward toward the George Washington Bridge. The block itself is pure New York—a mix of institutional grit and quiet persistence, where even the plainest storefronts have a purpose.
