Dr. Craig Szela, MD

How do doctors fit into a city where every block feels like a missed appointment? In Manhattan’s Flatiron district, Dr. Craig Szela, MD keeps things simple—no frills, just care. The practice sits at 16 E 16th St, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, where even the sidewalks hum with circulation and the nearest subway isn’t far.

Family practice physicians anchor neighborhoods because they remember your name—and your history—long after the stethoscope cools. From annual wellness exams to urgent care for stubborn coughs, the office handles routine and unexpected needs under one roof. You’ll find immunizations, minor surgical procedures, and even a restroom if the crowded lobby at Union Square forces a detour.

If paper trails feel tedious, the phone does the walking for you: (212) 206-5200. The line stays open through lunch—no appointment books dictating your lunch break. Outside the building, couriers double-park and sidewalk vendors hawk pretzels, proving medicine blends right into the rhythm of the avenue.

Reaching the office is easiest with a map close at hand: directions. Type the address, follow the blue line, and you’re there before the doorman finishes his first cigarette.
