Billy M Li MD

The city’s web of primary-care offices stretches just north of Canal, between the courts and the garment district. Billy M Li MD keeps an unassuming spot on Elizabeth, doors open beside the take-out windows that line the block. No neon signs, no marquees—just the flat white door marked 301.

Head up the three flights. The building’s freight elevator still hums past the bronze and glass storefronts below. On the third floor the sign reads Internist; when the door is unlocked you’re in an examination corridor—menus of blood-work, EKGs, and adult physicals hang on the wall. Terrific present-day grip on longer consults, minor out-patient procedures, and ongoing care.

Waiting one flight down won’t impress you with décor—it’s quick to the street afterward on Elizabeth. Ring (212) 966-7493 when you need an open slot or a last-minute script refill.

It’s one of those third-floor walk-ups worth keeping beside the subway stairs.
