Beth Degarmo

Primary care often feels like a maze of referrals and long waits. Beth Degarmo offers a different rhythm—routine check-ups, preventive screenings, and same-day sick visits all under one roof. The practice sits on the third floor at 489 5th Ave, New York, NY 10017, a building that blends into the steady pulse of Midtown without drawing attention.

General practitioners in this neighborhood tend to book up quickly, especially those who take the time to listen. Here, the focus stays on continuity: managing chronic conditions, coordinating specialist care, and keeping vaccinations current. Patients who prefer a consistent provider rather than a rotating roster often end up here after asking around the block.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling (212) 530-2288, though walk-ins are sometimes accommodated if the schedule allows. The office doesn’t advertise weekend hours, so it’s best to plan ahead for anything non-urgent. For directions, the map at this link will pinpoint the entrance.

Fifth Avenue between 42nd and 47th feels like a quiet corridor compared to the crowds around Grand Central. If you’re already nearby for work or errands, stopping in for a flu shot or a blood-pressure check doesn’t require a detour—just an elevator ride.
