Maurice Martin

Primary care anchors everyday wellness, and Maurice Martin shows up for the routine visits. Pediatric check-ups and adult physicals slot in between preventive screenings and chronic-condition management without much fanfare. Across the exam room table, that consistency lets patients track progress, spot red flags early, and keep small issues from becoming bigger ones. Though the practice fields an eclectic caseload—from stitches and sprains to diabetes coaching—each visit follows the same playbook: listen first, examine next, then outline the next step plainly.

The office sits on Madison Avenue between 115th and 116th Streets, so the 1 train grumbles past every few minutes; the address is 1824 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10035 if you’re typing it into a rideshare or searching for directions. Public transit drops you two blocks south at 116th, and the block itself is framed by the bricked façades of Morningside Heights, so you’ll know you’re in the right stretch even on a gray afternoon. The building is walk-up on the east side of the avenue, one flight above street level—the elevator lights do flash at the ground floor if you need it.

You can reach the front desk during regular office hours at (212) 423-4500; someone can then forward you to the nurse line about labs or imaging orders, or to the scheduler for an urgent slot. Standard same-day sick visits run alongside routine gynecology consults, minor surgical follow-ups, and pediatric immunization updates, so availability can tighten around Labor Day or the first snow of winter. Same-day coverage shouldn’t be assumed on major holidays, but the office updates its answering-service message with alternate numbers on days they close.

After hours, the Upper Manhattan street’s small array of bodegas, a Mexican bakery, and the stone-columned cathedral down the avenue keep a quiet, campus-like pulse that’s neither tourist hummingbird nor buried-in-work noise. The apartments and dorms lining the blocks lean student and professional, so morning and evening foot traffic moves past quickly—handy for anyone who wants to slip in and out without lingering.
