Sarah Van Tassel, M.D.

Eye care belongs in expert hands. Upper East Side residents have relied on ophthalmologists for generations to safeguard vision and diagnose subtle changes before they progress. Sarah Van Tassel, M.D. continues that tradition from an office on the 12th floor at 1305 York Ave, New York, NY 10021, where routine exams, glaucoma screening, cataract evaluation, and diabetic retinopathy checks are part of the daily schedule.

Yorkville’s medical corridor stretches along York Avenue, placing specialized clinics within easy reach of both longtime locals and newcomers. A short elevator ride delivers patients to the practice, where dry-eye management, refractive-error correction, and urgent red-eye assessments are handled with the same precision as annual check-ups. No referral is required for most visits, though many arrive after a primary-care physician’s recommendation.

Appointments can be scheduled by calling (646) 962-2020. Directions to the office are available on the map listing for anyone navigating the neighborhood’s mix of pre-war apartment towers and modern high-rises. Vision care remains a quiet constant amid the city’s relentless pace.
