David Fridman, MD

Emergency care in Manhattan doesn’t pause for traffic or subway delays. When minutes matter, David Fridman, MD offers urgent medical attention without the wait of a crowded ER. The service covers everything from sudden fevers and fractures to allergic reactions and minor burns—situations that demand prompt evaluation but don’t always require a hospital admission.

The office sits at 550 1st Ave, New York, NY 10016, a block east of the FDR Drive where Kips Bay meets Murray Hill. The neighborhood’s mix of residential towers and medical buildings means the area stays active at all hours, yet the address remains easy to reach whether you’re walking from nearby apartments or arriving by cab.

Patients can expect standard emergency protocols: triage, diagnostic testing, and immediate treatment—all handled on-site. Stitches, splints, and IV fluids are part of the routine here; so are rapid strep tests and X-rays that help rule out more serious conditions. The goal is to stabilize and either discharge or refer, depending on what the exam reveals.
