Gayatri Raj Ghosh, MD

Pediatric neurology isn’t a field most Upper East Side parents plan to need. Yet when questions about development or movement arise, having a specialist nearby saves trips across town. Gayatri Raj Ghosh, MD sees patients on the third floor of the Helmsley Tower, a building that already houses enough white coats to make the elevator feel like a medical convention.

Appointments are set at 505 East 70th Street, where the cross street of York Avenue keeps the block from feeling like a canyon of high-rises. The office itself is tucked above the usual pharmacy-and-café ground-floor shuffle, so parents can grab a coffee downstairs without adding extra errands. A restroom is available for families who’ve just come from school drop-off or a long subway ride.

Directions are simple enough—most patients arrive by Q train or the M66 bus—but the map can clarify which entrance actually leads to the tower elevators. Those who prefer to call ahead can reach the front desk at (212) 746-3278; the line is usually answered between nine and five on weekdays.

Neighborhood pediatricians tend to refer here when an EEG or a second opinion is needed, so the practice stays busy without advertising. It’s the kind of place where the receptionist already knows the names of siblings before the third visit. No fanfare, just a steady stream of kids and clipboards.
