Jeremy H Boal, MD, President, Mount Sinai Downtown

Upper East Side internists don’t come much more central than Jeremy H Boal, MD. The practice sits at 5 E 98th St, a block where hospital towers and pre-war walk-ups trade shadows—convenient if you live near the park or commute from further east. They handle the usual slate of adult medicine: annual physicals, chronic-disease management, urgent same-day visits, preventive screenings, and minor procedures like joint injections or skin biopsies. No frills, just the kind of bread-and-butter care that keeps a neighborhood humming.

East 98th Street has been a medical corridor for decades; the sidewalks are wide enough to dodge the usual rush-hour scrum, and the subway stop at 96th is only a short walk downhill. That proximity matters when you’re juggling work, family, and the occasional flare-up of something that won’t wait. They also coordinate referrals to the adjacent Mount Sinai network, so if you need a specialist you’re already in the system. It’s the sort of continuity that saves time and paperwork.

Appointments are scheduled through the main line—(212) 241-4141—and the office keeps a map link here for directions. Bring your insurance card and a list of meds; the rest is routine.
