Marie Therese Homsi

The stretch of First Avenue near the 20s is one of those Manhattan corridors where medical offices sit quietly between delis and dry cleaners. Marie Therese Homsi maintains a practice at 462 1st Ave, a few blocks from the energy of Gramercy and the East Village. It’s the kind of address that blends into the rhythm of the neighborhood unless you’re specifically searching for an otolaryngologist.

Specialists in ear, nose, and throat care aren’t always easy to find in a city where general practitioners dominate directory listings. This practice covers the spectrum from persistent sinus issues to more complex concerns like vocal cord disorders or balance-related conditions. Hearing evaluations and treatment for chronic allergies also fall under the umbrella here—no need to bounce between different offices for connected problems.

Scheduling an appointment starts with a call to (212) 562-5555. The process tends to be direct, which suits the no-nonsense pace of the area. First-time patients sometimes assume they’ll need a referral, but otolaryngology often operates a bit differently than other specialties—best to confirm when reaching out.

The building itself is unassuming, typical of the pre-war professional spaces lining this part of First Avenue. For anyone mapping the route, directions help cut through the occasional confusion between the odd and even sides of the street. Public transit drops you within a short walk, and the entrance is where you’d expect it to be.
