Catherine R. Kavanagh, MD

Nephrology isn’t exactly the kind of specialty you think about until you need it—then it becomes the only thing that matters. Catherine R. Kavanagh, MD practices in Washington Heights, where the intersection of Broadway and 165th Street puts her office within reach of Columbia’s medical hub. Kidney health doesn’t get the same chatter as cardiology or orthopedics, but when issues like chronic kidney disease, hypertension management, or electrolyte imbalances arise, having a specialist who focuses solely on renal function makes a difference. Dialysis coordination, glomerulonephritis treatment, and pre-transplant evaluations fall under this kind of care, though specifics are best discussed directly. The phone line for appointments or questions is (212) 305-5825—no referral gatekeeping, just the practical step to confirm coverage or availability.

The upper Manhattan location at 3959 Broadway, New York, NY 10032 sits in a neighborhood where medical offices blend into the daily rhythm of bodegas and subway stops. Nephrologists often work behind the scenes, collaborating with primary care physicians to manage conditions that don’t always announce themselves with dramatic symptoms. If you’re mapping out the route, the directions place the office near the 1 train, because even kidney specialists understand the value of a convenient A-line connection. No frills, no overpromising—just the kind of place you’d expect for a field where precision matters more than aesthetics.
