Kristen Whitehead

The street along 168th sits between the subway’s rumble and the Hudson’s distant breeze. Kristen Whitehead keeps a small general practice on the third floor of 630 W 168th St. Routine check-ups share the schedule with chronic-care plans, physicals, and women’s health visits; immunizations and EKG readings are handled down the hall from the waiting area.

Across Broadway from the Audubon campus, the address splits attention between the medical center and the hilly walk down to the river. Calls route directly to (212) 305-2500 when patients need to adjust medication or book follow-up time. Pap smears, long-acting reversible contraceptives, and routine lab draws remain available by appointment.

Steady foot traffic keeps the directory updated; directions drop you at the corner where the awning over the vestibule meets the fire escape.
