Peter Charap, MD

Who handles routine screenings and chronic-condition management alongside the occasional urgent need? Here, an internist with decades of experience covers the full spectrum — from hypertension checks and diabetes monitoring to cholesterol screenings and vaccine updates. Travel medicine consultations and fatigue work-ups round out the roster, offered by Peter Charap, MD at the same address year after year.

The practice sits at 234 Central Park West, two long blocks west of the park entrances. Phone in a referral, post-hospital follow-up, or just a same-day appointment: (212) 579-2200 keeps things moving. Between 59th and 60th Streets, apartments loom overhead while runners loop the park loop below; the Upper West Side cadence is quiet except for the weekend drum circle by the bandshell.

Walk south on Central Park West and the set of brownstone stoops changes shade brick by brick — every step carries you through the neighborhood’s low-key glow. When you need a map for the last turn, view the building’s location here before you head out.
