David J. Hellerstein, MD

Psychiatry in Manhattan rarely feels like an ordinary doctor’s visit. Offices tend to cluster near hospitals or in midtown towers, but some practitioners keep quieter hours in residential buildings where the elevator ride sets a different tone. David J. Hellerstein, MD, operates from a pre-war co-op at 271 W 70th St #1f, a stretch of the Upper West Side where brownstones and doormen share the sidewalk with corner delis and dry cleaners. The address places him a short walk from the 72nd Street subway station, close enough to Broadway’s bustle yet removed from the medical-industrial glare. Appointments are made by calling (212) 875-1357—no online portal, no automated menu. The office includes a restroom, a detail that spares patients from hunting down a café between sessions. For directions, the map at this link will pinpoint the entrance; the building number is small, so checking the cross street helps. It’s the kind of place where the neighborhood itself—quiet, predictable—can feel like part of the routine.
