Richard Rho, M.D.

Upper East Side sidewalks hum with runners, cyclists, and weekend warriors—all chasing personal bests or just trying to stay active without injury. When overuse or a sudden twist sidelines you, Richard Rho, M.D. offers a sports-medicine lens on recovery. The practice zeroes in on musculoskeletal issues that keep athletes and active New Yorkers from moving freely.

The office sits at 162 E 78th St, New York, NY 10075, a quiet stretch between Lexington and Third where brownstones give way to small medical suites. Common visits cover everything from tendonitis and stress fractures to post-surgical rehab and concussion management; Rho also evaluates joint instability and designs return-to-play protocols for students and weekend players alike. A quick call—(212) 439-0008—can sort out next steps or confirm insurance coverage before you arrive.

Neighborhood runners often swap stories about the best routes along the East River; they also trade tips on specialists who speak their language. For directions or a quick look at the block, pull up the map. If you’re already limping, skip the subway stairs and hail a cab instead.
