Jacob Susan

Pediatric neurology offices cluster near major hospitals, where families often need quick access without the hassle of midtown traffic. One such practice sits just off the edge of Washington Heights, where the neighborhood’s quiet rhythm gives way to the steady pulse of medical corridors. Jacob Susan operates at 180 Fort Washington Ave, a building that blends into the daily flow of parents, residents, and hospital staff moving between appointments and shifts.

Specialists here focus on conditions that shape childhood development—epilepsy, movement disorders, migraines, and neurodevelopmental delays. The work involves more than diagnosis; it’s about mapping out long-term care plans that adapt as children grow. Parents often arrive with questions about therapies, medications, or school accommodations, and the conversations extend beyond the exam room. The practice handles referrals from pediatricians and emergency departments, making it a frequent stop for families navigating complex medical paths.

Washington Heights has a way of feeling both transient and rooted, with its mix of long-time residents and rotating hospital personnel. The area’s density means parking is scarce, but the subway and bus lines make it accessible for those coming from other boroughs or New Jersey. Appointments here tend to book weeks in advance, so calling early is key. Reach the office at (212) 305-8316 to schedule or confirm details before heading over.

For directions, the map pinpoints the entrance near the intersection of Fort Washington and 168th Street. The building’s facade is unassuming, but the crosswalk in front sees a constant stream of people—some hurrying, others pausing to check their phones before stepping inside.
