Ulrike W. Kaunzner, MD, PhD

Neurology clinics don’t often make the neighborhood news, but when you need one, the address matters. Ulrike W. Kaunzner, MD, PhD sees patients on the 11th floor of 156 William St in lower Manhattan—steps from the South Street Seaport and the Brooklyn Bridge’s west anchorage. The practice focuses on conditions that blur the line between brain and body: multiple sclerosis, autoimmune disorders, and the long-term effects of neuro-inflammation. A call to (646) 962-9800 can set up an initial consult or follow-up.

Downtown’s mix of historic lofts and modern towers means the waiting list for specialists can stretch for weeks; having a neurologist who also holds a PhD in neuro-immunology adds a layer of precision to the care. The office shares the building with other medical practices, so the elevators get busy around lunch, but the map still points to a convenient spot for anyone commuting from Brooklyn or the outer boroughs. Directions are a click away at this link. If you’re walking from the subway, give yourself five minutes—William Street’s narrow sidewalks don’t slow down for crowds.
