Ravi Jariwala, MD

Gastroenterology isn’t exactly the kind of specialty people chat about over coffee, but when digestive issues flare up, finding a board-certified specialist in a dense city like New York can feel like navigating a maze. Midtown West, with its mix of theater crowds and Hell’s Kitchen’s residential pockets, hosts Ravi Jariwala, MD, a gastroenterology practice on the sixth floor of 355 W 52nd St. The building sits between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, a stretch where medical offices blend into the neighborhood’s hustle—no flashy signage, just a standard Midtown address with a focus on function. For anyone juggling work, errands, and health appointments, the location’s accessibility is a plus, especially if you’re coming from the Lincoln Tunnel or the A/C/E trains at 50th Street.

The practice covers the spectrum of digestive care, from routine screenings to managing chronic conditions, and yes, there’s a restroom on-site—a small but practical detail when you’re dealing with GI concerns. Scheduling or questions can be directed to (646) 754-2100, though it’s always wise to confirm hours before heading over. If you’re mapping out the visit, the directions will pinpoint the entrance, since sixth-floor offices in Manhattan aren’t always obvious from the sidewalk. No frills, no grand promises—just a straightforward option for those who need it.
