Jerry Hsu, MD, MS

Upper West Side sidewalks stay busy with students, commuters, and weekend strollers—all of them squinting at phones or blinking into the sun. Jerry Hsu, MD, MS keeps an office right where that glare meets the pavement, at 37 W 65th St New York, NY 10023. It’s the kind of block where brownstones and pre-war towers trade shadows, and a quick eye exam fits neatly between errands.

Around here, ophthalmology clinics feel almost as common as bodegas, yet each one draws a steady stream of patients who need more than a new pair of glasses. They handle everything from routine vision checks to the finer points of eye health without making anyone feel rushed. A restroom is available on-site, so there’s no need to scout one down the street if you’re running late.

Most people find the number they need is (212) 305-9535—easy to remember and even easier to dial while you’re still deciding which subway entrance to take. Calls get answered quickly, and the staff can usually slot you in before the next M11 bus rolls by.

When you’re ready to head over, pull up the map for turn-by-turn directions: https://www.google.com/maps/place?ftid=0x89c2597f0849bba9:0x252037c644d0623d. The clinic sits one avenue west of Lincoln Center, so if you time it right, you can catch the last notes of an afternoon rehearsal drifting across the plaza.
