Rashmi Nisha Aurora, MD

Sleep clinics are the kind of quiet necessity Midtown keeps tucked above street level, where the city’s relentless pace finally meets a counterpoint. Rashmi Nisha Aurora, MD, runs one such practice a few floors above the East Side’s lunch-hour bustle. The office sits at 159 E 53rd St 5th floor, New York, NY 10022—an address that places it within walking distance of both corporate high-rises and the quieter residential blocks east of Third Avenue.

What happens inside rarely makes headlines, yet insomnia, sleep apnea, and circadian rhythm disorders shape more of the day than most New Yorkers admit. The clinic focuses on diagnosis and treatment plans that don’t begin and end with a prescription pad; expect discussions about lifestyle rhythms, overnight monitoring, and behavioral adjustments that acknowledge the city’s own irregular heartbeat. It’s the sort of place where the elevator ride up feels like the first step toward something more restorative.

Appointments are scheduled by calling (646) 754-3300, a number that rings through to a line where the only hold music is silence. No automated menus, no push to book online—just a straightforward way to arrange a time when the usual noise can be set aside. The practice name appears on the building directory in small, unassuming letters, the kind that don’t demand attention but still manage to be found when needed.

For directions, the map at this link will drop a pin on the corner of 53rd and Lexington. The rest of the journey is just five flights up, where the city’s relentless hum fades into something closer to stillness.
