Dr. Elizabeth B. Gay, MD

Upper East Side internists see a steady stream of patients who need more than a quick script—chronic conditions, preventive screenings, and the occasional mystery symptom that won’t resolve on its own. Dr. Elizabeth B. Gay, MD fits that mold, offering adult medicine without the subspecialty markup. The practice covers hypertension, diabetes, cholesterol management, annual physicals, and minor urgent issues like bronchitis or UTIs.

You’ll find the office at 306 E 96th St, New York, NY 10128, a stretch of the avenue where brownstones give way to mid-rise apartments and the Q train hums below. Internists here often serve as the first line of defense for neighbors who prefer continuity over emergency-room roulette. Routine EKGs, flu shots, and travel consultations round out the menu, all without the referral runaround.

Many patients book same-week slots when their usual doctor is out or the walk-in clinic feels impersonal. A call to (615) 438-5190 usually lands an appointment within a few days, depending on the urgency. The number also handles prescription refills and lab result questions, so there’s no need to chase separate lines.

Directions are straightforward: head east from Second Avenue or west from the FDR Drive, then look for the awning between the dry cleaner and the bodega. A quick map confirms the block before you leave the subway.
