Lori Shah, MD

Upper Manhattan sees its share of respiratory specialists, though few offices sit as conveniently above the hospital’s main campus. Lori Shah, MD operates on the fourteenth floor of 622 W 168th St, a building most locals recognize from the red-brick towers that flank the Columbia University Irving Medical Center.

Pulmonology here covers everything from chronic coughs and asthma management to sleep-disordered breathing and advanced lung-function testing. Patients who need spirometry, bronchoscopy, or allergy patch tests can find the same suite without being shuttled across the city; the practice handles both diagnostic workups and ongoing treatment plans under one roof.

Appointments are scheduled by calling (212) 305-7771—a number that also connects to the office’s direct line for prescription refills or urgent pulmonary questions. The office does not accept walk-ins, so securing a slot ahead of time keeps wait times predictable.

Directions to the fourteenth floor are easiest to pull from the map listing; the elevator banks are clearly marked once you step off 168th Street.
