Dr. Hector Perez

Dr. Hector Perez carries the neighborhood’s pulse—a local internist anchored on Washington Heights’ main thoroughfare. Inside the beige-brick building at 581 W 161st St, New York, NY 10032, he focuses on adult primary care. Patients arrive expecting routine check-ups, chronic disease management, and preventive screenings all under one roof.

Most commonly he manages hypertension, diabetes, and cholesterol while coordinating specialist referrals when needed. Immunizations and travel health advice sit alongside women’s health and geriatric screening; lab orders are handled inside the same suite. Call (212) 928-8888 to schedule or touch base after hours if you need a same-day add-on.
