Dr. Andrew Westwood

Internists handle the quiet, steady work of adult medicine—chronic conditions, preventive care, and the slow puzzles of symptoms that don’t fit neatly into a single specialty. These physicians often become the first call when something feels off, whether it’s unexplained fatigue or a blood pressure reading that won’t stabilize. In a city where specialists are plentiful but generalists are harder to find, their role feels especially valuable.

Dr. Andrew Westwood practices at 177 Fort Washington Ave, a building that sits just north of the Columbia University Medical Center campus. The address places it within walking distance of Washington Heights’ residential pockets and the busier corridors along Broadway, where pharmacies and small grocers keep the neighborhood running. Patients here tend to be locals who prefer continuity over convenience, returning to the same office for years rather than bouncing between urgent care clinics.

Routine physicals, diabetes management, and hypertension monitoring are among the services offered, along with referrals when more specialized care is needed. The office handles lab work and coordinates with nearby imaging centers, streamlining what can otherwise become a scattered process. Those who need to schedule an appointment or confirm details can reach the office at (646) 426-3876.

A map will show the exact location, but the real context is the rhythm of the neighborhood—where people stop for coffee on the way to the subway and return later in the day with prescriptions in hand. Directions can be found here.
