Dr. Alan S. Zakuto, MD

Pediatric care on the Upper East Side often means balancing expertise with convenience. Parents in the neighborhood need a practice that fits into busy schedules without sacrificing thoroughness. Dr. Alan S. Zakuto, MD offers that balance, serving families in a part of the city where time and trust matter equally.

At 130 E 77th St, between Lexington and Third, the office sits in a stretch of the Upper East Side where brownstones and high-rises create a quiet, residential rhythm. The address places it within walking distance of several schools and playgrounds, a detail that doesn’t go unnoticed by parents juggling drop-offs and appointments. The building itself blends into the streetscape, unassuming but easy to spot once you know where to look.

Routine check-ups, vaccinations, and sick visits are handled here, along with developmental screenings and same-day appointments when needed. The practice also manages chronic conditions like asthma and allergies, providing continuity for families who prefer not to navigate a rotating roster of specialists. Questions about growth charts, feeding concerns, or behavioral milestones can be directed to (212) 861-2300, where the office staff coordinates scheduling and follow-ups.

Directions to the practice are straightforward, though the neighborhood’s one-way streets can complicate parking.

The area’s mix of pharmacies and cafés offers practical stops before or after an appointment, a small but useful perk in a city where every errand counts.
