Dr. Yaacov Anziska

Neurology offices in Upper Manhattan tend to cluster near the medical campus, where the sidewalks hum with the quiet urgency of patients and residents. Dr. Yaacov Anziska keeps an office on the tenth floor of the Neurological Institute, a building that has watched generations of New Yorkers come and go with headaches, tremors, or more elusive symptoms. The practice handles everything from routine nerve studies to complex movement disorders, all within a few blocks of the George Washington Bridge bus terminal.

You’ll find the entrance at 710 W 168th St, a mid-block tower that blends into the institutional landscape of Washington Heights. The elevators open to a reception area that, like every other in the building, keeps its doors closed until you announce yourself. No signage shouts; the directory does the talking. If you’re running late or need to confirm an appointment, the front desk picks up at (212) 305-1329—no menu maze, just a human voice.

When the subway rumbles beneath Broadway, it’s easy to forget that the neighborhood still feels like a village. Patients from Inwood to Harlem call the same number, ask the same questions about migraines and memory lapses, and walk the same tree-lined stretch of 168th Street afterward. For directions, the map keeps it simple: one red pin on a grid of hospital wings and apartment towers.
