Laura Bassett Madsen, M.D.

Diagnostic imaging doesn’t always feel like a priority until you need it. Laura Bassett Madsen, M.D. operates from the ground floor of Starr Pavilion, a quiet corner of the Upper East Side where the usual hospital bustle thins out. The address—520 E 70th St—places it just steps from the FDR Drive, a detail that matters when time is tight and traffic isn’t.

Radiology practices in Manhattan tend to cluster near major hospitals, but this one keeps a lower profile. The office handles MRIs, ultrasounds, and CT scans without the institutional overhead that can make routine imaging feel like an event. There’s no need to navigate multiple floors or elevator banks; the ground-floor location simplifies the logistics of showing up, signing in, and moving on.

Questions about scheduling or procedure details can be directed to (212) 746-6000. The number connects to a standard hospital switchboard, so expect the usual transfer prompts before reaching someone who can confirm availability or prep instructions. It’s the kind of detail that’s easy to overlook until you’re standing in the lobby trying to remember whether you need to fast beforehand.

Directions are straightforward if you’re coming from the east side, though the map occasionally mislabels the entrance as part of the main hospital complex. For precise navigation, the listing here—Starr Pavilion, ground floor—will drop the pin where it belongs. If you’ve ever circled a block three times looking for the right door, you’ll appreciate the accuracy.
