Joseph Zurica

Midtown Manhattan moves fast—especially when you need medical care without the wait. Joseph Zurica offers a different pace: one where physician assistants handle everything from routine check-ups to urgent concerns, all within the same building as NYU Langone’s main campus. The practice sits at 550 1st Ave, New York, NY 10016, a spot where the hum of the city fades just enough to let you focus on what matters. No frills, no fuss; just the kind of straightforward care that keeps Kips Bay running smoothly. Need to schedule an appointment or ask a quick question? The number to call is (212) 263-7300. Whether it’s a sudden rash, a sports injury, or a follow-up on chronic conditions, the team here works with the efficiency of a neighborhood clinic and the resources of a major hospital. For directions, pull up the map—it’s the same block where First Avenue meets 32nd Street. Sometimes, the best care is the kind that’s already where you need it.

A visit here doesn’t require a long commute or a referral; just show up and get seen. The practice specializes in the kind of everyday health needs that don’t always fit neatly into a specialist’s schedule—think strep tests, flu shots, or stitches after a kitchen mishap. It’s the sort of place where the address, 550 1st Ave, becomes a familiar landmark for locals who’d rather not navigate the ER for something minor. When the next sniffle or sprain hits, the phone number (212) 263-7300 is already in your contacts. Pull up the directions and you’ll see it’s just steps from the 6 train at 33rd Street. In a city where time is currency, this is where you spend it wisely.
