Dr. Savitri R. Motiram, MD

Need a primary care doctor in Washington Heights? One address keeps reappearing on neighborhood message boards: Dr. Savitri R. Motiram, MD at 1865 Amsterdam Avenue. The brownstone storefront fits right into the avenue’s mix of medical offices and apartment buildings, putting care within walking distance for many uptown residents.

Parking along Amsterdam can test even the most patient driver, so arriving by subway may be easier; the 1 train stops a block away. Years ago this stretch hummed with mom-and-pop shops before settling into the steady rhythm of local professionals; now the clinic slots in just like others in the area—Pap smears, physicals, flu vaccines administered quietly before lunch, minor surgical procedures documented in chart notes you can request for specialists.

Call 212-491-2400 and speak with the scheduler Monday through Friday. No flashy ads—just the address in plain sight and a consistent phone line in case your immune system demands a booster on short notice. See the map if the one-way blocks around Bennett Park leave you circling for blocks.
