Dr. Herbert M. Lazarus, MD

Pediatric care in Kips Bay often feels like an afterthought, tucked between urgent-care chains and overbooked clinics. Dr. Herbert M. Lazarus, MD breaks that pattern—an independent practice on the corner of 1st Avenue, where the neighborhood’s strollers and school backpacks converge. The address, 462 1st Ave New York, NY 10016, places it within walking distance of both NYU Langone and the quiet side streets where parents trade recommendations over coffee. A restroom is available, a small but practical detail that can matter when timing is tight and the subway stairs feel endless.

Finding a pediatrician who still answers the phone can feel like a minor victory. Here, the number (212) 562-4141 connects directly to the office, bypassing automated menus. The practice focuses on routine check-ups and same-day sick visits, a balance that suits families who prefer continuity over convenience. For directions, the map shows the entrance just past the pharmacy, where the sidewalk widens enough to maneuver a double stroller.
