Susan Rothenberg, MD

Obstetricians and gynecologists in Manhattan often cluster near hospitals, but some practices choose quieter corners of the city where the pace feels slightly less frantic. Susan Rothenberg, MD operates from a second-floor suite at 10 Union Sq E #2b, a building that overlooks the square’s seasonal farmers market and the steady hum of commuters. The location places patients within walking distance of several subway lines, a detail that matters in a neighborhood where parking is more rumor than reality. While the practice doesn’t advertise weekend hours, its presence in Union Square means access to pharmacies, cafes, and a restroom—always a practical consideration for longer appointments. Directions to the office can be pulled from the map listing, though most patients find the entrance easily enough once they spot the small brass plaque near the elevator. To schedule a visit, the number is (212) 844-8590—a straightforward call that connects directly to the front desk. Union Square itself has changed over the years, but the mix of old bookshops and new condos still gives it a character that feels distinctly New York. If you’re due for a check-up, this is one of those places where the address does half the work of putting you at ease.

You’d think more doctors would set up shop here—it’s the kind of block where you can grab a coffee before your appointment without feeling like you’ve left the neighborhood.
