Joy Deanna Howell, M.D.

You’ll find Joy Deanna Howell, M.D. inside a mid-block building at 525 East 68th Street, between York Avenue and the FDR service road. The office sits up a short flight of marble steps in a neighborhood dense with medical towers and specialty clinics. A practical stop for families is the restroom on the same floor, just past the elevators.

As a pediatric pulmonologist, Dr. Howell focuses on children’s lung health, from common asthma care to more involved respiratory conditions. Her suite is part of the Weill Cornell Medicine network, linking patients to broader hospital resources when needed. If you’re in the Upper East Side and need a breathing problem evaluated—especially before or after school hours—this is a focused place to start.

Need to coordinate care or schedule an appointment? Call (212) 746-3056. The front desk can confirm insurance acceptance and next-available slots without extra back-and-forth. For parents juggling multiple appointments, that clarity matters.
