Monica L. Halem, M.D.

Skin concerns don’t always follow a schedule, which is why having a dermatologist nearby can make all the difference. Monica L. Halem, M.D. offers medical and cosmetic dermatology at 988 5th Ave, New York, NY 10075 — a quiet stretch of the Upper East Side where brownstones and high-rises share the sidewalk. The practice handles everything from routine skin checks to more specialized treatments like mole evaluations, acne management, and eczema care; it’s also women-owned, a detail that resonates in a field where female leadership still feels like an exception rather than the norm. Fifth Avenue has its share of clinics, but this one keeps a low profile, tucked between boutiques and residential buildings. Call (212) 988-2400 to schedule an appointment — the kind of call that’s easier to make when you know the office is just a few blocks away. For directions, the map can be found here. Sometimes the best healthcare is the kind you can walk to without overthinking it.
