I agree wholeheartedly with all the wonderful praise other patients have expressed for Dr Oltra. Wonderful bedside manner, compassionate, knowledgeable, explained everything. She was able to help me (an adult) where several other doctors could not. She gave me hope.

Both our children have been here for 16 years. We love this practice on West 72nd St. We were concerned after Dr Marc Lustig left this location during Covid, but we’re thrilled with Dr Erica Ultra who is professional, kind, super knowledgeable, and makes all feel at ease.
