The area’s mix of residential convenience and medical accessibility makes it a practical choice for those balancing ongoing treatment with daily life.

Dr. Peter H. Green’s practice operates at 180 Fort Washington Ave, a location that places it within easy reach of both local residents and those traveling from nearby neighborhoods.

Booking a consultation or procedure typically starts with a call—here, that means reaching out to (212) 305-5590 to discuss availability, insurance details, or preliminary questions. First visits usually involve a review of medical history, so having records on hand can streamline the process. Many patients arrive with referrals from primary care physicians, though self-referrals aren’t uncommon for issues like persistent acid reflux or unexplained abdominal discomfort. The logistics of scheduling often depend on the urgency of the concern, whether it’s a standard check-up or a more time-sensitive matter.

For those mapping out their route, the office’s precise location can be pinned down via directions here. Washington Heights’ grid layout keeps navigation simple, but traffic patterns near medical hubs can shift unexpectedly—allowing extra time isn’t a bad idea. If you’re coming from the 1 train, the walk is short enough to make public transit a viable option, even in less-than-ideal weather.
