Samantha J. Stuek, MD

Sports medicine isn’t just for athletes anymore. Weekend joggers, desk workers with stiff shoulders, and anyone recovering from an injury often need the same specialized care—diagnosis that looks beyond the X-ray, treatment that keeps movement in mind. Samantha J. Stuek, MD, operates from a ground-floor office at 541 E 71st St in the quiet stretch between York and the FDR, where the Upper East Side’s residential blocks soften into something almost suburban. The practice handles everything from stress fractures and tendonitis to post-surgical rehab and concussion protocols, always with an eye toward getting people back to their routines without unnecessary downtime.

Appointments can be scheduled directly by calling (516) 240-2159, and the office typically follows up with digital intake forms to streamline the first visit. While the category itself tends to draw a younger crowd, the neighborhood’s mix of pre-war co-ops and newer towers means patients arrive from every age bracket.
