Dr.Alexandra Frankel

Across New York City, dental offices appear in clusters and corridors. A few stand slightly apart, like Dr. Alexandra Frankel on 133rd Street in Harlem. Endodontics, implants, and routine cleanings share the same schedule without crowding each other out. They also keep emergency slots open weekly, something many larger clinics schedule in waves instead.

In the same block lie the brownstones and bodegas of 169 W 133rd St, New York, NY 10030. At the corner of Lenox Avenue, the building blends into the rhythm of the neighborhood rather than announcing itself. Call ahead if the line is busy: (212) 849-2780. From midtown, hop on the 2/3 at 125th and walk seven blocks west. Or use the map to pinpoint the door: directions.
