More than 12,000 physician assistants practice statewide according to the New York State Department of Health records. One of them maintains an office at 170 William St, in the Financial District just south of the Brooklyn Bridge. The spot sits a short walk from the 2/3 at Wall Street or the 4/5 at Bowling Green—convenient enough if you’re coming from Midtown or Brooklyn. Musculoskeletal exams, diabetes screening, hypertension management, and acute illness care round out the usual offerings, along with a few preventive screenings that don’t require a specialist referral.

Across the aisle from the courthouse, they see people who need routine check-ups as well as episodic care. The address reads the same on every form, so double-check it before you leave Brooklyn. Inside the waiting area isn’t the point; the point is that the patient list fits in a standard-size folder. Minor injuries receive the same attention as chronic disease follow-ups—no extra paperwork unless the insurance demands it.

To reach them, dial (212) 312-5068 and state your reason briefly. No gatekeeper stands between you and the voicemail; if it’s urgent, leave a clear window of availability. They return calls within the same business day or the next at the latest, depending on volume.

Catch the 2/3 or 4/5 and walk south on William; the maps link drops a pin at the front door so you don’t overshoot: find the spot here.
