Dr. Norman Goldstein

East Harlem’s medical corridor feels a little more reassuring when you know specialists like Dr. Norman Goldstein are just steps from the subway. Skin concerns that linger after primary-care visits often land patients here, where dermatology takes the lead without the run-around of referrals. The practice sits at 5 E 98th St, New York, NY 10029, an address that neighbors Mount Sinai’s main campus, so the sidewalks hum with the quiet urgency of people who need answers.

Beyond the usual acne and eczema consults, the office handles everything from suspicious moles to chronic rosacea, plus minor surgical procedures that keep patients from having to schedule a separate hospital visit. Patch testing, phototherapy, and cryotherapy are all part of the routine, yet the waiting list rarely stretches longer than a week. That kind of accessibility can make a difference when a rash flares or a mole changes overnight.

When you’re ready to book, a quick call to (212) 241-9728 connects you to the front desk. For directions, pull up the map—the building is the one with the blue awning you’ve probably walked past on your way to the park. Upper East Side traffic moves fast, but this stretch of 98th Street still slows down enough to let you breathe before the appointment.
