Dr. Nana Makalatia

Geriatric care often slips through the cracks in a city that moves at lightning speed. Dr. Nana Makalatia specializes in precisely that gap—medicine tailored to older adults, where every detail matters more than the clock. The practice operates from a quiet corner of Washington Heights, a neighborhood where generations have settled and stayed, making it a natural fit for those who prefer continuity over convenience.

The office sits at 5141 Broadway on the third floor, just above the hum of the 1 train and the daily rhythm of bodegas and community centers. It’s the kind of address that doesn’t need a neon sign—locals know it by word of mouth, and newcomers find it through necessity rather than flash. The building itself blends into the streetscape, but the care inside doesn’t follow suit; it’s specific, deliberate, and designed for a population that deserves more than rushed prescriptions and generic advice.

If you’re coordinating a visit or need to confirm details, the number to call is (212) 305-5138. Directions are straightforward: pull up the map and follow Broadway north until you hit the right door. Most people who walk in have already heard about it from a neighbor, a pharmacist, or a grandchild who did the research—because in this part of the city, good care isn’t just about proximity, but trust.
