Pediatric bones grow differently than adult ones. That’s why kids need a surgeon who specializes in their still-developing joints and limbs. Emily R. Dodwell, MD, MPH, FRCSC brings that expertise to the Upper East Side, focusing on conditions that affect children from toddlers to teens.

On the fifth floor of 535 E 70th St, the practice handles everything from scoliosis and hip dysplasia to sports injuries and fractures. Parents in Yorkville and Lenox Hill often find themselves here after a referral, or simply because the neighborhood’s medical corridor makes it easy to combine visits with other specialists.

Appointments are scheduled directly through the office, so calling ahead saves time. Reach them at (212) 606-1451 to confirm availability or discuss whether an in-person evaluation is needed. As a women-owned practice, the office also tends to attract families looking for a surgeon who understands the nuances of pediatric orthopedic care from a maternal perspective.

Getting there is straightforward—directions and nearby transit stops are on the map. The building sits just off the FDR, making it accessible whether you’re coming from the east or west side of Manhattan.
