Netanel Ben-Shalom, MD

Upper East Side streets see their share of specialists come and go, but neurosurgery remains a constant need. Black Hall at 130 East 77th Street, 3rd Floor, keeps that need quietly met—just off the main avenues where the neighborhood’s older brick facades give way to medical corridors.

Netanel Ben-Shalom, MD, operates here, offering the kind of precision the category demands. Neurosurgeons in New York rarely advertise; their work speaks through referrals and the steady flow of patients who arrive with MRIs in hand. The practice covers spinal disorders, brain tumors, vascular malformations, and peripheral nerve conditions—each requiring a different level of intervention, each handled without fanfare.

Reaching the office takes a quick call to (212) 434-3900. No front-desk poetry, just the essentials: name, insurance, reason for the visit. The number connects directly to scheduling, where the staff keeps the process efficient rather than expansive.

Directions are best pulled from the map—here’s the link. The building sits between Lexington and Third, a stretch where the city’s usual hum softens just enough for concentration.
