Jane E. Salmon, MD

The Upper East Side has long been a hub for specialized medical care, where quiet streets house some of the city’s most focused practices. Among them is Jane E. Salmon, MD, a rheumatologist whose office sits on the sixth floor of 535 E 70th St. Rheumatology often flies under the radar until joint pain or autoimmune symptoms make daily life harder, which is when a steady hand in diagnosis and treatment becomes essential. Those who call the area home—or work nearby—might find themselves reaching for the phone when stiffness or inflammation starts to interfere with routine tasks. The number to note is (212) 606-1422.

Autoimmune diseases, arthritis, and connective tissue disorders fall under the scope of rheumatology, a field that blends lab work with patient history to chart a path forward. While the specialty isn’t always top of mind, its role in managing chronic conditions can be life-altering. Directions to the office can be pulled from the map, placing it just steps from the FDR Drive and a short walk from the 6 train. For anyone navigating a new diagnosis or persistent symptoms, having a specialist in the neighborhood can make the process feel a little less daunting.
