Jeanne Travis, MD

Internists don’t always get the same sidewalk buzz as cardiologists or dermatologists, but they’re the ones who keep the machinery running when the dashboard lights up yellow. Jeanne Travis, MD has an office at 226 W 14th St, a stretch of pavement where the West Village’s low-rise brick meets the Meatpacking District’s steel-and-glass hum. The building itself is unremarkable—no neon sign, no doorman—just a quiet door between a vintage record shop and a twenty-four-hour bodega. That anonymity suits the specialty: internal medicine is less about dramatic interventions than about steady, unglamorous maintenance, the kind that happens in exam rooms where the only drama is the occasional elevated A1C. They offer the basics—blood pressure checks, annual physicals, chronic-disease management—plus a restroom, which, in a city where every square foot is monetized, counts as a small mercy. To reach them, dial (212) 604-1800. For directions, the map is here: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c259be4cc41189:0xd7db491a9834e214. If you’re the type who books appointments instead of brunch, this is the block to do it.
