Stephanie Cheng, MD

Anesthesiology isn’t the kind of specialty you think about until you need it. Stephanie Cheng, MD, practices at the Hospital for Special Surgery—where the Upper East Side’s medical density feels almost like a second skyline. The address is 535 E 70th St, a block that handles more pre-op anxiety and post-op relief than most New York corners see in a decade. This isn’t boutique care; it’s the quiet machinery behind every joint replacement and spine surgery the hospital performs.

You won’t find a storefront listing for her, just a name on a roster and a phone number that connects to the hospital’s central line: call (212) 606-1206 if you need to confirm an appointment or ask about anesthesia options. The practice itself lives within the larger system, so directions follow the hospital’s map—here—where York Ave traffic and the Second Ave subway hum just loud enough to remind you how public medicine still feels, even in private hands.
