Fred David Cushner, MD

Orthopedic care doesn’t always require a hospital visit—sometimes a specialist’s office on the Upper East Side is all it takes. Fred David Cushner, MD focuses on joint preservation, sports injuries, and minimally invasive procedures, offering an alternative to larger medical centers. The practice sits at 523 E 72nd St, New York, NY 10021, a stretch of the city where brownstones and high-rises blur into a quiet efficiency. Neighbors here know the value of a surgeon who keeps office hours in a building that doesn’t announce itself with flashy signage; it’s the kind of place you’d walk past daily without realizing what happens behind the unassuming door.

From torn ACLs to shoulder impingement, the range of conditions treated here reflects the realities of urban life—whether from weekend soccer games or years of subway commutes. Those needing an evaluation or follow-up can reach the office at (212) 606-1031 to arrange a visit. The Upper East Side’s density means parking is a puzzle, but the trade-off is proximity to public transit and a neighborhood where medical offices blend seamlessly into the streetscape.
