Peter J. Moley, MD

Physical medicine often lives in the shadow of surgery and pharmacology, yet it shapes recovery in ways that scans and prescriptions can’t. Peter J. Moley, MD offers that perspective from a first-floor office on the Upper East Side. The practice specializes in physiatry—diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, and neurological conditions without relying on invasive procedures or long-term medication.

The address is 541 E 71st St 1st Floor, New York, NY 10021, a stretch of sidewalk where pre-war buildings meet newer storefronts. Patients here typically arrive with back pain, joint stiffness, or post-surgical rehabilitation needs; the clinic’s approach blends targeted injections, physical therapy referrals, and adaptive exercise plans. When scheduling an initial visit or follow-up, keep (212) 606-1918 close—appointments fill quickly, especially in a neighborhood where weekend runners and desk-bound professionals alike seek relief.

Physiatrists don’t perform surgery or write endless prescriptions; they map out movement and pain patterns to restore function. If you’re navigating the area for the first time, pull up the map before heading out. The block sits between Lexington and Third Avenue, where the sidewalks stay busy but the clinic itself remains a quiet corner for focused care.
