Shamini Mylvaganam

Obstetricians and gynecologists occupy a quiet corner of the city’s medical map, handling everything from routine check-ups to more specialized care. Their offices tend to cluster near hospitals or along residential avenues where foot traffic is steady but unhurried. Upper East Side sidewalks see their share of these visits, often sandwiched between errands or school pickups.

Shamini Mylvaganam’s practice sits at 100 E 77th St, a stretch where brownstones alternate with low-rise medical buildings. The address places it within walking distance of Lenox Hill Hospital, a detail that matters when appointments run longer than expected or when referrals require quick coordination. Patients here navigate the same cross-streets locals use to reach the Met or the 92nd Street Y, blending medical needs into the neighborhood’s daily rhythm.

Routine exams, prenatal visits, and menopause management are part of the standard slate, though the specifics vary from one patient to the next. Contraceptive counseling, pelvic floor assessments, and minor gynecological procedures also appear on the schedule, each fitted into slots that respect the time constraints of city life. Questions about the practice can be directed to (212) 288-3080, where the staff fields calls between 9 and 5.

Directions to the office are easiest pulled from a map, though the Q train at 72nd Street offers a reliable backup. The building itself doesn’t announce its purpose with signage, so arriving a few minutes early helps avoid the usual last-minute scramble for the right buzzer.
