Dr. Carmela R. Racelis, MD

Anesthesia care happens in a quiet corner just east of Union Square.

Dr. Carmela R. Racelis, MD practices anesthesiology at 301 E 17th St; block by block, it’s minutes from Stuyvesant Town and Gramercy’s tree-lined side streets. The office is built for procedures like epidurals, nerve blocks, and sedation dentistry; obstetric and cardiac anesthesia flank the roster as well. A six-floor walk-up faces a park on one side—light changes with the seasons, but the clinic stays steady.

For a quick assist scheduling pre-op consults, the front desk answers on the first ring. Pain-management consults and monitored anesthesia care share the same streamlined flow; presurgical airway evaluations slot in when needed. The building’s freight elevator speeds patients and equipment between floors, so foot traffic stays light.

Find the front door using the directions pinned to your map app; the block sits two avenues south of 14th Street’s energy and one avenue north of the East River’s breeze.
