During the four years Dr. Adam Geyer was at Tribeca Skin Center and the 16 months he sublet space from Dr. Steven Simonte, he usually walked home to his Hudson Square apartment by taking Ericsson Place, as the block of Beach Street that abuts the Holland Tunnel off-ramp is known. Planning on opening his own practice one day, he coveted the storefront that had most recently been a showroom for the One York condominium. “I finally did what real-estate people say you should never do,” he said. “I called the number on the sign.”

Last week, his new office debuted; it’s called Tribeca Park Dermatology because the waiting room has picture windows looking out at St. John’s Park, located inside the tunnel off-ramp’s circle. “I love how you can see the traffic going by, but there isn’t any honking. It’s the life of New York City without the headaches.”

Architect Tom Oprea of Oprea Design and designer Darren Andereck helped Dr. Geyer create what has to be one of the handsomest doctor’s offices in the neighborhood. (My photos don’t do it justice.) It’s painted in grays and whites, and decorated with contemporary dark wood furniture, funky black light fixtures, and fresh flowers. As he showed me around the eight treatment rooms, he apologized for the state of his personal office and the blankness of some of the walls: “My mom’s art is going in the waiting area, and my uncle’s photography will be in treatment rooms.” His vision was to have “the beauty of a well-done space,” given that he offers a host of cosmetic services, but he hopes that it’s not too beautiful. “My focus is still medical,” he says.

Dr. Geyer sent most of his childhood in Ojai, Calif., before going to Harvard for his undergrad degree, Johns Hopkins for his M.D., and Columbia for his postgrad training and residency. He still heads up to Columbia to teach, and he’s also a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology and a “brand ambassador” for Kiehl’s. Perhaps because he’s so busy, he understands that his patients might prefer to schedule appointments online (which his website allows).

His next challenge, however, might not be related to medicine at all. Few people know where Ericsson Place is, which wouldn’t be so bad if Google Maps didn’t label it as Beach Street—search for 30-32 Ericsson Place and you’ll be directed to Queens.

Tribeca Park Dermatology is at 30-32 Ericsson Place (Hudson/Varick), 212-374-9750; triparkderm.com.
