An Orthodontist Roosevelt Island Families Reach by Tram or Subway

Lemchen Salzer Orthodontics has practiced from one Park Avenue address since 1974. We treat children, teens and adults.

Roosevelt Island families have two direct links to our corner of Manhattan: the subway and the tram. Because the trip is so short, an appointment can fit between school dismissal and an evening at home.

Our board-certified orthodontists plan each case in-house. We explain your options clearly, and we’ll tell you when treatment can wait.

A Short Trip from Island Life

Red Bus

The island’s free Red Bus connects buildings in Northtown and Southtown to both the tram and the subway.
