Howard Israel, D.D.S.

Oral surgery often feels like a category people hope to avoid—until they need it. Procedures like wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, or corrective jaw surgery aren’t the kind you plan for casually, but when the time comes, finding a specialist in a dense city can simplify the logistics. Upper East Side offices tend to cluster near medical hubs, which means less travel for pre-op consultations or follow-ups. This part of Manhattan also puts patients within walking distance of post-procedure necessities: pharmacies, quiet cafés, and the occasional bench in Carl Schurz Park for fresh air.

Howard Israel, D.D.S. practices at 525 E 68th St, New York, NY 10065—a block where the grid meets the hospital zone. The address alone tells you it’s not tucked into some hard-to-reach corner; transit options and taxis move steadily here. Questions about sedation methods, recovery timelines, or insurance coordination are best directed to the office line: (212) 746-5175. For those mapping out their route, the directions confirm it’s two avenues east of the Lex line, just past the FDR Drive overpass.
