Ted Lao, MD

Midtown East isn’t short on specialists, but kidney health often gets less attention than it deserves. Ted Lao, MD offers nephrology care two blocks from Grand Central, where the steady hum of commuters gives way to quieter corridors above street level. The practice sits at 222 E 41st St 20th Floor, New York, NY 10017, a building that blends into the neighborhood’s mix of medical offices and corporate towers.

Nephrologists handle everything from hypertension management to dialysis planning, and the field demands precision in both diagnosis and follow-up. Patients here can expect discussions on electrolyte balance, chronic kidney disease staging, and referral coordination for imaging or vascular access. The office phone—(212) 263-0705—connects directly to scheduling, so same-week appointments are often available for urgent concerns.

Finding the right specialist in Manhattan can feel like navigating a maze of elevator banks and hallway signs. Directions to the 20th floor are available on the map, where the Midtown grid makes it easy to combine a visit with other errands. Just steps from the Chrysler Building, the area hums with a mix of tourists and office workers, a reminder that even in a city of millions, individual care still finds its place.
