Key Points:
- Dr. Jaishree Capoor, a pediatric physiatrist, found a convenient medical office space on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan by chance while out with her elderly mother.
- She sublets a consultation room on weekends for $500 a month in a practice for adolescents, allowing her to see patients without disrupting their school or parents' work schedules.
- The location is close to her home, enabling Dr. Capoor to efficiently balance her professional duties with caregiving for her mother, who has severe dementia.
