Dr. Sukru H Emre

East 98th Street, just off Fifth Avenue, runs a quiet clinical course—until surgery comes into view. Transplant care sits at one end of that spectrum, and on this stretch it appears as Dr. Sukru H Emre’s office. Look closely for the suite framed between larger institutions, tucked toward the southern door of a limestone townhouse. The name is stenciled on the frosted panel; that is usually how visitors find it.

Inside this building, the practice centers on multi-organ procedures: liver, kidney, and pancreas. There is also living donor coordination, where a healthy person’s organ bridges a gap. Patients often pass through pre-transplant evaluations—labs, scans, donor matching—before the actual surgery day. Post-operative infection control and immunosuppression strategies follow afterward. They speak quietly in the elevator ride down because those doors swing open to where life quietly resumes.

Use the elevator banks at the south lobby and go to the Mezzanine 2 sign; it’s one flight up or down depending on the tower’s numbering. A quick call ahead confirms the right suite—(212) 241-8035—and saves a loop past the lobby directory. Patients who arrive early sometimes wait out front under the awning, checking phones or reading the same medical article from two years ago.

Make sure you have the correct doorbell accent and maps pulled in advance; up here the blocks feel parallel but the addresses sometimes tilt. Past the awning, the street glides south toward the park, carrying umbrellas and white coats alike toward the subway at 96th. Simply leave them the door buzzer when the voice crackles back.
