Primary Care Services

Primary Care Services, located on the 3rd and 4th Floors of the Student Health Center, offers comprehensive health assessment and care for your general healthcare needs. Services range from prevention and treatment for illness and injuries to referrals for the Specialty Care unit. The full-time board certified physicians and nurse practitioners of Primary Care Services are trained and experienced with addressing physical and emotional concerns. While most college students are in good health and face few serious illnesses while in school, medical issues can arise at any time, sometimes without warning. There are also certain health concerns that may become apparent for the first time in early adulthood.

It is important to take responsibility for your health and wellness while at NYU. The friendly and knowledgeable staff at NYU Student Health Center is here to help you with the transition of your healthcare needs during your time at NYU. An annual visit to a doctor, even though you may feel okay, is one part of the regimen of a healthy and responsible student. In order to maintain a healthy mind and body, as you develop a relationship with your doctor, you'll be able to come to them with health and wellness questions that you may not want to ask anyone else.

Appointments:

The first step is to set-up an appointment with a primary care doctor or nurse practitioner to review your health history and to assess your needs. The preferred method for accessing care in Primary Care Services is through an appointment with your Primary Care Physician. Keep in mind that full-disclosure is a key part of a correct diagnosis by your physician or nurse practitioners. Even if you feel embarrassed about your question or health concern, remember that our staff is here to help and serve you. It is important that you are comfortable with your provider. Choose a provider you can continue to see throughout your time at NYU.

To schedule an appointment, call Primary Care Services at 212-443-1111 or 212-443-1122. Some appointments may be made online. To self-schedule an appointment, log in to NYU Home and click on "Online Services" in the Health & Wellness section of the NYU Life tab.

Please arrive ten minutes before your scheduled appointment to give yourself time to register and to fill out any paperwork that may be required. Make sure that you have your insurance card and NYU Student ID to help you fill out the paperwork.

If you arrive late for an appointment, your provider may have limited time to address your medical concerns. In certain cases, late arrivals may need to be rescheduled.
