Dr. Seema Quraishi

Psychiatric care in Gramercy often means navigating a mix of high-rise offices and historic brownstones. Dr. Seema Quraishi’s practice sits on East 17th Street, where the neighborhood’s clinical and residential sides blend. The fifth-floor location places it among other professional suites, a common setup for specialized medical services in this part of Manhattan. Psychiatry practices here tend to prioritize discretion, and the building’s unassuming facade reflects that.

As a psychiatrist, the practice covers evaluations, therapy, and medication management—standard offerings for outpatient mental health care. The inclusion of a restroom on-site is a small but practical detail, especially for patients coming from nearby areas like Irving Place or Union Square. Appointments are typically scheduled by phone, and the line to reach the office is (212) 420-4094. First visits usually involve intake paperwork, so arriving a few minutes early is wise.

The address, 317 E 17th St Fl 5, puts it within walking distance of the 14th Street subway hub, making transit connections straightforward. This stretch of East 17th is lined with pre-war buildings, many housing medical and dental offices alongside residential units. Parking in the area is permit-heavy, so most patients rely on public transit or rideshares. The building itself doesn’t have retail on the ground floor, keeping foot traffic minimal.

For those mapping out their route, the directions via Google Maps show the entrance midblock, between Irving Place and 3rd Avenue. It’s a quiet corner of the neighborhood, even during weekday hours. Double-checking the floor number before heading up saves time—this is New York, after all.
