Leah Canjura, NP

Nurse practitioners bridge the gap between primary care and specialized medical attention in New York City. Leah Canjura, NP offers that kind of clinical flexibility from an office on the west side of Washington Heights, where the neighborhood’s mix of long-time residents and newer arrivals keeps the sidewalks lively at all hours. Routine check-ups, chronic-disease management, and preventive screenings can all be scheduled without the usual referral run-around.

You’ll find the practice at 161 Fort Washington Ave New York, NY 10032, a mid-block building that shares the avenue with pharmacies, small grocers, and the occasional food cart. The area’s steep hills and subway staircases make every errand a mini workout, so it’s practical to combine a visit here with other stops along the 1 train. Same-day appointments are sometimes available, and the office can handle everything from flu shots to minor sutures.

Call (212) 305-0114 to confirm availability or ask about walk-in slots. A map with turn-by-turn directions is here. If you’re already in the neighborhood, it’s quicker to walk than hunt for parking.
