The cardiologist down on 10th Avenue sees most of the routine check-ups before the problems start—echoes, EKGs, stress tests, follow-ups for pacemakers, and the occasional rhythm analysis. Beyond the usual treadmill and cuff readings, they handle holter monitoring and event recording for moments that aren’t caught in the office; about half the patients come through for one of those readings each year. Percutaneous coronary intervention sits in the same clinical mix as the simple stress echo, one room blending into the next by the schedule. Insurance loops and referrals can slow things before they even reach the lobby at 1000 10th Ave Main Lobby, New York, NY 10019, so having the paperwork ready first helps.

Add the line once more, just before the map pointer: call (212) 492-5550. The Upper West Side gym crowd pushes through the revolving doors a few blocks over, but here the walk-up feel keeps it from feeling like another Broadway stop. For a clean map and turn-by-turn—especially on a rainy Tuesday evening—pull the directions from https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2596d311dfa43:0x5028f23cc1e798b2 before leaving the subway.
