Around Union Square, urgent medical needs don’t always align with regular office hours. Susanna Pfefferblit operates as an emergency care physician in the area, offering a more direct alternative to crowded hospital ERs. The practice sits at 37 Union Square W, just steps from the subway hub and the constant hum of 14th Street.

Emergency physicians in Manhattan often juggle walk-ins and scheduled follow-ups, but this one keeps the focus narrow. No frills—just urgent evaluations when time matters. A restroom is available on-site, which isn’t always a given in smaller medical offices downtown.

Calling ahead can save time, especially in a neighborhood where every minute counts. The number to reach them is (212) 750-1110, and it’s best used for confirming availability rather than general questions. Union Square’s mix of residents, workers, and tourists means demand fluctuates, so a quick call avoids unnecessary detours.

For exact directions, the map listing pins the entrance on the west side of the square, near the intersection’s perpetual motion. This stretch of Union Square West stays busy, but the address is easy to spot between the bookstore and the coffee carts.
