Michal L. Melamed, MD

Midtown East has its share of specialists, but kidney health often gets overlooked until it’s urgent. Michal L. Melamed, MD practices nephrology on the 20th floor of 222 E 41st St, a quiet perch above the subway hum where hypertension and electrolyte imbalances are sorted out before they escalate. The neighborhood’s mix of pre-war towers and glass lobbies means patients arrive from nearby offices or apartment blocks, each carrying lab results that need a practiced eye. They handle everything from chronic kidney disease to dialysis planning, and if you need to reach them, the number is (212) 263-0705.

Nephrology isn’t the kind of medicine that makes headlines, yet it quietly keeps the city’s workforce functioning. On the 20th floor, the focus stays on conditions like glomerulonephritis and acid-base disorders, topics most people only learn about when their own numbers start flashing red. For directions or a quick map check, the place is listed here. It’s the sort of office you hope to visit only for routine checks, not emergencies.
