Plasencia Maria

Another option around the Lower East Side is worth a quick note. Plasencia Maria operates from 227 Madison St New York, NY 10002, just a block east of the Bowery.

This is a physician assistant practice, so expect the usual scope: annual physicals, minor injury treatment, chronic condition management, vaccinations, and basic diagnostic testing. The category keeps things efficient without the wait times of larger clinics. A good fit when you need straightforward care without the specialist markup.

Questions or same-day slots can be arranged by calling (212) 238-7444. No need to book weeks ahead for routine matters.

Directions are easiest pulled from the map. The block itself is quiet—mostly walk-ups and the occasional delivery van—so parking isn’t the usual headache.
