Eye care in Midtown often means navigating a maze of high-rises and subway transfers. Douglas Friedrich, MD keeps things simple on the 15th floor of 200 West 57th Street, where the elevator lets off steps from the reception desk. Ophthalmologists here handle everything from routine vision checks to more involved procedures like cataract evaluation and diabetic eye exams, all within the same quiet corridor.

Glaucoma screenings and macular degeneration assessments are part of the regular schedule, alongside prescription updates for glasses or contacts. The office sits above the bustle of 57th Street, offering a brief pause from the sidewalk crowds below. Patients who prefer to confirm availability or ask about specific tests can reach the front desk at (212) 265-2020.

Directions are straightforward: the building stands between Seventh Avenue and Broadway, a short walk from Carnegie Hall. For a quick map, tap here. If you’re already in the neighborhood, it’s easier to duck in than to circle for parking.
