Dr. Ruby N. Fayorsey, MD

New York has its share of medical buildings squeezed between bodegas and freight elevators. Dr. Ruby N. Fayorsey, MD anchors Malcolm X Boulevard with something rare here: a pediatrician where the exam rooms aren’t the neighborhood’s smallest rooms. The walk-in bathroom down the hall is one more quiet service in a borough where space is always measured in square feet and not much else. Pediatrics on Malcolm X meets the basics: children’s check-ups, adolescent medicine, the odd urgent ear-infection visit. A restroom sits on-site for families juggling strollers and schedules. Reach the office at (212) 939-1000 to verify availability and pin down an appointment slot. Open the map to chart the route from the A or C trains at 145th Street, or wherever the day begins in central Harlem. Sturdy glass doors at 506 Malcolm X Blvd New York, NY 10037 mark the entrance; rest a hand on the buzzer and wait for the quiet click before stepping inside.
