Martin B. Leon, MD

Cardiology offices cluster along Fort Washington Avenue for good reason. The corridor sits between the Hudson River and one of Manhattan’s densest hospital networks, making it a practical choice for specialists who need quick access to labs and imaging centers. Martin B. Leon, MD maintains an office at 161 Fort Washington Ave, New York, NY 10032—a building shared with other medical practices, so patients can often schedule back-to-back appointments without changing streets.

Routine visits here cover echocardiograms, stress testing, and long-term monitoring for arrhythmias; the practice also handles more involved procedures like cardiac catheterization referrals. Because the address is steps from the 168th Street subway station, many patients arrive by public transit. Those who drive usually circle the block once or use the garage across the avenue, though street signs are clear enough to avoid confusion.

Phone inquiries about scheduling or test results can be made at (212) 305-7060. A map of the exact entrance is available here. If you’re already in Washington Heights, you’ve probably walked past the building without realizing it’s where the cardiologist’s shingle hangs.
