Dr. Jessica Strauss

What happens when a sudden fever spikes at midnight or a twisted ankle sidelines a runner on First Avenue? Dr. Jessica Strauss steps into the gap, offering emergency care just steps from the East River. The practice sits at 550 1st Ave, New York, NY 10016, where the pulse of Kips Bay meets the urgency of after-hours medicine. Emergency physicians like Strauss navigate the unpredictable—lacerations, fractures, infections—without the wait of a crowded ER.

Neighborhoods built on concrete and subway hum don’t always pause for illness. That’s where this kind of care becomes essential, bridging the hours between primary doctors and hospital triage. They handle everything from sudden rashes to high fevers, often with the same equipment found in larger facilities but with a more immediate response. The area’s mix of students, professionals, and long-time residents means demand for accessible medical attention is constant, especially when regular clinics have closed for the day.

Those needing urgent evaluation can reach (212) 263-3293 to confirm availability before heading over. A map with directions is available online, ensuring the trip is as quick as the care. In a city where time and health rarely align, Strauss provides a steady option when both matter most.
