What to expect
What happens at your first visit
A first appointment here is straightforward. This page walks through the whole thing, from the phone call to the follow-up, so nothing about the visit is a surprise.
Step by step
- 1
Before you come in
Call (917) 801-0954 and tell the front desk what the visit is for. If you have records, lab results or a form from a school, employer or program, mention it on the phone so we can plan the time you need.

Finding the office
We are at 1301 Southern Boulevard, 2nd Floor, Bronx, NY 10459. Look for the yellow NorthPoint sign on Southern Boulevard — the entrance is right below it, and the practice is on the second floor.

Getting here
The 2 and 5 trains stop at Freeman Street, a short walk away. Several bus routes run along Southern Boulevard.

Checking in
Give your name at the front desk and hand over your ID and insurance card. New patients fill out a short intake form — our staff will go through it with you in English or Spanish if you prefer.
- 5
Your time with the doctor
A staff member takes your vitals, then you see Dr. Albert Slezinger or Dr. Anele Slezinger. Bring your questions — this is the part of the visit they are for.

After the visit
Prescriptions go to your pharmacy, referrals are arranged, and any testing done here is explained to you. If results come back later, the office calls you.
