Dr. Ugur Ozerdem

Along Kips Bay’s quiet stretch of 1st Avenue, one office keeps pathology clear-cut: Dr. Ugur Ozerdem, handling the microscopic work behind every diagnosis. Standard tissue exams, fine-needle aspirations, and bone-marrow reviews cross the desk here; immunofluorescence panels and special stains sit beside routine screens for infection and malignancy. Cytology finds its way in too, from Pap tests to body fluids, with immunohistochemistry ready when markers get particular. Across the benchtop, flow cytometry snaps into action for hematologic typing, while molecular diagnostics keeps up with the latest probe sets. Building number 550 anchors the block—across the street from the hospital complex that makes the neighborhood a referral crossroads. Slides arrive by courier, lab coats drape over chairs, and stains dry before the microscope’s apochromats take over. Sunlight on the east side can linger past lunch; fluorescent lights come on only when the cloud cover tightens. Reach them here: *(212) 263-7300*. Let the map nudge you east of FDR Drive; the same route many couriers take when the slides are time-stamped.
