Christie Racine, MD

The family-medicine office on West 18th keeps area clinics paired down to one name: Christie Racine, MD. You’ll find key primary-care services here—diagnostics for chronic conditions; routine screenings; adult and pediatric check-ups; allergy testing and management; immunizations; and pre-travel consults. The pace is deliberate, the paperwork orderly; nothing in that description promises curb appeal, only that you can sit down with a physician who isn’t juggling three roles at once.

You can visit mid-block on the south side of 18th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues, two stops below 14th on the F/M and one east of the Flatiron greenmarket. The building shows no signage beyond the directory, so you’ll double-check the lobby screen before heading up to suite 610. On arrival, dial (646) 248-6700 if the doorbell’s already rung or you’re running behind.

Lost on foot or by subway? Grab the closest cross street, pop the directions link, and the map routes you past the usual mix of pizza slices and curry-wallahs—exactly the kind of grit that signals you’re in the neighborhood’s medical corridor.
