Pediatric gastroenterology occupies a quiet but essential niche in children’s healthcare, addressing everything from chronic abdominal pain to food intolerances and inflammatory bowel conditions. In a city where specialists can feel scattered, finding a practice that focuses solely on digestive health for young patients narrows the search considerably. On the fifth floor of 10 Union Sq E, just above the hum of Union Square’s farmers’ market and subway hub, sits an office where these concerns are the entire scope of care. The address places it within easy reach of families coming from both uptown and downtown, a logistical perk in a neighborhood where convenience often dictates medical choices.

Booking an appointment or asking about specific conditions—whether celiac disease, reflux, or nutritional deficiencies—starts with a call to (212) 844-8300, where the focus remains on pediatric cases without the overlap of adult gastroenterology. For first-time visitors, the building’s central location means transit options abound, though the entrance itself is unassuming amid the area’s historic facades. Directions and transit details are best checked via this map link, which pins the suite accurately within the larger Union Square East complex. The block itself is a study in contrasts: tourist energy at street level, clinical precision just an elevator ride up.
