Kids grow fast.

Pediatric care in Upper Manhattan keeps pace with them—checkups, vaccines, same-day sick visits, school physicals, even lactation support. Hugh Sampson, MD, handles the full spectrum without the waitlist some practices carry. Fifth Avenue and 98th Street is a busy corner; the office sits on the 10th floor at 5 E 98th St, New York, NY 10029, a few blocks from Central Park where strollers outnumber taxis at dawn.

Families from East Harlem to Carnegie Hill circle back year after year for the same reason: consistency. Same-day appointments for fevers and rashes, developmental screenings, and ADHD evaluations are all part of the routine. You won’t find flashy murals or cartoon characters on the walls—just steady, unhurried care that lets parents exhale between questions.

When the thermometer spikes at midnight, jot the number down and call (212) 241-5548 first thing in the morning. The line picks up quickly, and slots open up faster than you’d expect in a city this size.

For directions, pull up the map: here’s the link. No detours, no guesswork—just the elevator ride to the tenth floor.
