Adler Ronald S MD

The hospital north of Grand Central sits just off traffic, in a brick cluster near the FDR service road. Drivers ducking off the expressway find it faster to park near the 38th Street overpass and walk one block. They handle all the usual scans — CT, MRI, ultrasound and even DEXA bone density — then turnaround same-day reports for referring physicians. Adults with complex cases often land here after an ER visit; pediatric imaging lives down the hall elsewhere in the system. Parking garages in the block are pay-as-you-go; meters on side streets fill fast weekdays around eight. Wait times stay predictable because imaging slots get released daily, not just at open. Call (646) 501-7440 to lock in a slot. The entrance sits inside the hospital’s main imaging lobby, tucked between the entrance and the blood-draw stations. Spot the red-tile awning and matching directory; elevators drop you one floor for prep. Drop-ins rarely wait past fifteen minutes for tech calls to pull patients after registration. For speedy directions ahead of time, pull up the map with turn-by-turn cues — the hospital salad bar across the street is a decent landmark to orient from. You’ll be back on the FDR in under an hour.
