Risa Fuller

East of Fifth, the blocks around 102nd drift between scholarly calm and the everyday pulse of neighborhood life. Risa Fuller, an infectious disease physician, practices on the ground floor at 17 E 102nd St, a short walk under the elevated No. 6 line. Travelers needing travel consultations pass residents collecting prescriptions; the cross-streets change, but the corner stays consistent.

Management of chronic hepatitis B or C, post-exposure prophylaxis after a needlestick, travel immunizations for typhoid or yellow fever, and interpretation of interferon-free direct-acting antiviral results are in the day’s routine. When uncertain about a tick bite or malaria smear, people land here for second opinions. Call ahead to confirm availability, or plot the route: directions.
