Patricia Haydee Donovan, MD

Upper East Side parents have long relied on local pediatricians to navigate everything from first fevers to school physicals. Patricia Haydee Donovan, MD fits neatly into that tradition, offering routine check-ups and urgent visits without the midtown rush. The office sits at 100 E 77th St, where the sidewalks stay wide enough for strollers and the cross-town buses run every few minutes.

Families along Yorkville and Carnegie Hill often walk over, especially when the sniffles strike on a weekday afternoon. A restroom on-site saves a trip back home, and the map shows the building is just steps from the 6 train at 77th Street. No need to hunt for parking or navigate construction barricades; the neighborhood’s grid keeps things predictable.

When the thermometer spikes or the permission slip needs a signature, they answer at (212) 434-2135. For directions, pull up the map before you leave—nothing worse than circling the block with a cranky toddler in tow.
