Dr. Jack Cossman

Dermatology covers more than just acne or rashes—it’s about skin health at every stage, from moles and eczema to sun damage and aging. In a city where dermatologists are as common as coffee shops, finding one near your routine can make all the difference. West End Avenue, with its mix of pre-war buildings and quiet side streets, hosts a steady stream of specialists, including those who handle everything from cosmetic consultations to medical skin conditions. The Upper West Side’s grid of tree-lined blocks means you’re never far from an option, whether you’re dealing with a stubborn patch of dermatitis or just due for a checkup.

Dr. Jack Cossman’s practice sits at 277 West End Ave, a stretch where the neighborhood’s residential calm meets the practicality of medical offices. Dermatology here isn’t just about quick fixes; it’s about addressing concerns that range from persistent rosacea to suspicious growths that need a closer look. The address places it within walking distance of Riverside Park, which means post-appointment you could easily swap the exam room for a bench by the Hudson—assuming your visit doesn’t involve anything that requires staying out of the sun.

Phone calls still rule for scheduling, especially when you’re coordinating around work or school. Reaching the office directly at (212) 769-0069 cuts through the back-and-forth of online forms, which can be a relief when you’re trying to pin down an appointment between meetings or errands. Dermatology visits often get postponed, but having a number that connects you straight to the front desk—without navigating a website—can make the difference between putting it off and actually going.

If you’re mapping it out for the first time, the directions will drop you between 72nd and 73rd Streets, where the avenue’s wide sidewalk makes for an easy approach. No frills, no grand promises—just a dermatology practice in a city that’s full of them, doing what dermatology practices do. Whether it’s a follow-up or a first visit, the point is to handle the skin stuff so you can get back to the rest of your list.
