Margaret B. McEntegart, MD

Family practice physicians serve as the first point of contact for most medical concerns. They handle everything from routine check-ups to managing chronic conditions, offering continuity in care that specialists often can’t. Margaret B. McEntegart, MD operates in this space, providing primary care services from an office on the west side of Manhattan.

The practice sits at 161 Fort Washington Ave, New York, NY 10032, a stretch of the city where residential buildings blend with medical facilities. Washington Heights has long been a neighborhood where primary care remains essential, given its density and the range of health needs among its residents. This part of Upper Manhattan sees steady foot traffic, with patients arriving from nearby blocks or after short subway rides.

Primary care covers a broad spectrum—preventive screenings, vaccinations, minor injury treatment, and referrals when more specialized attention is needed. They also manage prescriptions, coordinate with labs, and help patients navigate follow-up care. For questions or appointments, the office can be reached at (212) 305-7060.
