Ronald B. Staron, MD

Most people only think about radiologists when something’s already wrong. But imaging isn’t just for emergencies—it’s how doctors catch problems early, track chronic conditions, or rule out what’s not there. Ronald B. Staron, MD works in that quiet corner of medicine, reading scans that help shape treatment plans before symptoms even appear.

You’ll find the office on 622 W 168th St, a stretch of Washington Heights where the sidewalks hum with hospital traffic and corner bodegas keep the neighborhood running. The building itself is part of the Columbia University Irving Medical Center campus, so the area feels more like a hub of clinics than a typical street. That proximity to other specialties can make follow-ups simpler if your scan leads to more tests or referrals.

Radiology offices aren’t places you linger, but they still need basics like restrooms—something this location includes. When you’re done, the images go straight to the radiologist for review, and results typically land with your doctor within a day or two. If you need to call ahead for paperwork or prep instructions, the number is (212) 305-9335.
