Rania El-Khawam, MD

Pediatric care in the Upper East Side doesn’t get much more straightforward. Rania El-Khawam, MD keeps things simple, with a practice focused solely on children’s health. No frills, no distractions—just a doctor’s office that handles the essentials, from checkups to the occasional scraped knee. Parents in the area know the drill: show up, get seen, and move on with the day.

The office sits at 100 E 77th St, a block that’s all prewar buildings and quiet sidewalks. It’s the kind of neighborhood where strollers outnumber shopping bags, and the closest subway rumble feels like a distant memory. Inside, the priorities are clear—restrooms are available, because anyone with kids knows that’s half the battle. No one’s pretending this is a spa day; it’s a pediatrician’s office, plain and simple.

Appointments here don’t come with loyalty cards or Instagram-worthy decor. The focus stays on the basics: vaccines, growth charts, and the kind of advice that doesn’t require a second opinion. Questions about fevers or school physicals? Those get answered without a side of small talk. For anything beyond the standard visit, the front desk will point you in the right direction—or just hand you a clipboard.
