Aric Hausknecht

Sports medicine keeps weekend runners from turning into month-long limpers, and Aric Hausknecht anchors the scene on East 37th in Manhattan. East of Fifth Avenue and a block south of the East Village boundary, the office sits at 19 E 37th St #1, close enough to drop in before a subway sprint to Midtown or a long walk along Fifth. Pain is more common than concussions here, and repeat CTs are rarer after a stop in the right office. Across the lobby hum of Midtown foot traffic, the waiting line usually stays short, which draws neighborhood patients and commuters alike. Here you get (212) 239-2112 scanned into your calendar the moment you leave the concourse, no voicemail chains required. Between exercises in the gym and ultrasound imaging down the corridor, the place handles restroom access on site, so crutches don’t have to double as bathroom passes. To reach the right doorway the first time, tap the directions from the north side of 37th to the south side, one block of shoeshine shops and bodegas away from the Pershing Square crowd.
