Howard George M MD

Eye care in Upper Manhattan begins at the corner of 165th and Broadway, where Howard George M MD practices ophthalmology. For routine check-ups or more involved procedures, the practice sits above the neighborhood’s usual foot traffic, accessible without the West Side rush. Between Washington Heights and Inwood, patients arrive for cataract evaluations, glaucoma monitoring, and post-surgical follow-ups.

Walk into the six-story walk-up at 635 W 165th St, New York, NY 10032 and the waiting room opens straight ahead; no side streets required. During high season the block fills quickly, so arriving a few minutes early usually solves any curb-side hesitation. Pedestrians coming off the A train at 168th can cut through the public housing courtyard to shave two minutes off the walk.

In the back of the building, the consultation rooms handle everything from retinal scans to contact-lens fittings. Children with crossed eyes and adults tracking early macular changes both end up in the same quiet hallway; the space is shared, not divided by age. If a referral to a cornea specialist or retina surgeon becomes necessary, the paperwork moves with the patient the same day.

If the sky is clear and the 4 train stays on schedule, you can chart a course there in under twenty minutes. For a step-by-step route, pull up the map and directions at Google Maps listing. Once you’re on 165th, the four-digit extension *305-5400* gets you through on the first ring.
