Jenny Yee-Levin

This stretch of 57th Street hums with enough foot traffic to make a physician assistant notice the wear on waiting-room floors, but Jenny Yee-Levin practices where the clinics feel almost quiet by comparison. Around Columbus Circle she sees the kind of shoulder-season coughs that linger until holiday travel starts.

Drop by the 200 West 57th Street tower, take elevator 5 up to suite 508, and the address stays the same even if the patient list changes with every new construction project uptown. The building’s lobby changes tiles every few years, but the elevator dings the same.

Call (718) 336-8855 to schedule, and after hours the voicemail picks up with the same calm tone no matter how many urgent messages pile up during flu season. Minor injuries, chronic disease management, preventive care—the roster of services sounds like a basic menu until the next patient walks in with a story the chart never predicted.

For the best route through midtown traffic, use the maps listing to dodge the usual bottlenecks near Seventh Avenue.
