Karen Teresa Brown, MD

Radiology offices don’t always feel like part of the neighborhood, but this one sits right where the Upper West Side starts to hum. Karen Teresa Brown, MD sees patients at 2315 Broadway on the 4th floor—just above the corner where Broadway meets West 84th. That stretch of the avenue is packed with small pharmacies, cafés, and the kind of bookstores that still have creaky wooden floors; it’s the kind of block where you might duck into a radiologist’s office between errands and still feel like you’re in the middle of the city.

Medical imaging isn’t usually something people seek out for fun, yet the need for clear, accurate scans brings plenty of locals through these doors. The office handles the usual array of X-rays, ultrasounds, and MRIs—nothing flashy, just the kind of dependable diagnostics that keep a neighborhood running. A restroom is available on-site, which is the sort of detail that matters more than it should when you’re already nervous about the results. There’s no need to cross town or hunt for parking; the 1, 2, and 3 subway lines stop practically outside, and the M7 and M11 buses run right past the building.

If you’re trying to figure out exactly where to go, the map will get you there faster than any verbal directions. Call (212) 746-6000 to confirm the hours or to ask about paperwork ahead of time—no one wants to fill out forms while balancing on a crinkly exam-table sheet. The entrance is easy to miss if you’re not looking up, so keep an eye out for the building directory once you step off the elevator.
