Richard Arnold Walzer

Washington Heights still feels like a stretch of the city where brick walk-ups remember what used to be common. Richard Arnold Walzer, a dermatologist with decades of practice behind him, anchors part of that continuity. Sun exposure on these blocks explains why skin concerns climb every summer.

The office sits at 161 Fort Washington Ave #12, just above the 181st Street elevated hum. Services cover acne, eczema, psoriasis management, surgical removals, skin cancer screenings, and adult and pediatric care — no referrals required for new patients. The elevator ride up can feel like the pause between leaving the street’s noise and walking into treatments.

A quick call organizes the next step. Dial (212) 305-5293 or pull the directions once you’ve counted the half-dozen short blocks between you and the A train. People here still walk up Riverside Drive for the view, but Richard Arnold Walzer offers a quieter kind of remedy.
