Chin Hur, MD

Gastroenterology practices in Washington Heights tend to cluster near the hospitals, but not all of them feel like an extension of the emergency room. Chin Hur, MD keeps things focused on the outpatient side—colonoscopies, endoscopies, and follow-ups for reflux or IBS—without the institutional rush. The office sits at 161 Fort Washington Ave, New York, NY 10032, a block where the sidewalk widens just enough to let you step out of the current of commuters and catch your breath before the next subway grate.

Most mornings the neighborhood still smells of fresh bread from the Dominican panaderías and the faint metallic tang of the elevated 1 train. That mix of everyday hustle and quiet corners makes the area feel lived-in rather than just passed-through, which is probably why so many specialists choose to set up here. They handle the usual screenings plus a few less-common procedures like motility studies, so you can cover multiple tests without trekking across the city.

If you need directions, pull up the map before you leave—Fort Washington can be tricky to spot between the hospital signs. Give them a ring at (646) 317-3533 to sort out paperwork or timing. Nobody enjoys a scope, but at least the walk back won’t feel like a marathon.
