My experience with NYC Psychiatric Associates ended in profound disappointment after nearly two years with the practice. Following Dr. Ceciley Scarbrough’s departure, I was transitioned to Dr. Musat. After she missed our initial consultation and I independently rescheduled, I left our subsequent appointment with concerns about our therapeutic fit and how my experiences with my diagnoses were received. Although I understood we would follow up in two weeks, I later contacted the practice’s text line and was advised to identify other providers. I was never informed that my care had been deemed beyond the practice’s scope, making the subsequent termination letter confusing and unexpected. When I sought clarification, I was initially reassured that my concerns were valid and would be addressed. Unfortunately, my October 27, 2026, conversation with Dr. Matthew Fan, who identified himself as the practice’s lead provider, was deeply disheartening. Rather than receiving a clear explanation, I felt dismissed when he stated that the practice would “take Dr. Musat’s words for it.” When I respectfully questioned how the determination that I required a higher level of care had been made following a single consultation, Dr. Fan responded in a manner I experienced as aggressive, condescending, and dismissive, emphasizing his authority rather than meaningfully addressing my concerns. It was specifically my interaction with Dr. Fan that left me feeling chastised for advocating for myself, rather than supported as a patient seeking clarity about my psychiatric care. His tone and approach during this conversation significantly undermined my trust and left me feeling unheard, disrespected, and intimidated when attempting to understand a decision affecting my treatment. Even more troubling, Dr. Fan’s handling of the conversation left me apprehensive about the sensitive psychiatric information and personal documentation NYCPA maintains about me. Following this interaction, I felt compelled to consider consulting an attorney to better understand my rights and protections, including my concerns about potential reprisal or retaliation by Dr. Fan or Dr. Musat for raising these issues. I am not alleging that retaliation has occurred; rather, I am explaining that Dr. Fan’s conduct during this conversation left me fearful and uncertain about how my concerns and sensitive information may be handled moving forward. It is deeply unsettling to leave a conversation intended to address patient concerns feeling that advocating for oneself may carry consequences. I understand that clinicians must exercise professional judgment and that a different level of care may sometimes be appropriate. My disappointment lies in the lack of transparency surrounding this transition and, particularly, the manner in which Dr. Fan addressed my reasonable questions. Patients should be able to seek explanations about decisions affecting their care without feeling belittled, intimidated, or discouraged from speaking up. Seeking psychiatric care requires trust and vulnerability. It is disheartening that after nearly two years with this practice, my final experience was one that left me feeling chastised, concerned about my sensitive information, and compelled to consider seeking legal guidance to understand my protections as a patient. While I recognize that clinical decisions may differ, I believe respectful communication, transparency, and patient dignity should remain nonnegotiable. Based on my experience, particularly my interaction with Dr. Fan, I cannot recommend NYC Psychiatric Associates. I sincerely hope the practice's leadership reflects on how patient concerns are addressed and ensures that individuals seeking psychiatric support are treated with professionalism, compassion, and respect.

I was disappointed by my experience with Dr. Sahib Din, particularly regarding communication, empathy, and professionalism. There were repeated communication problems between Dr. Sahib Din and her office staff. Calls and text messages went unanswered, and I sometimes received inconsistent information from the office and the doctor regarding appointments. This made scheduling unnecessarily stressful and frustrating. As a mother of two children on the autism spectrum, I have significant responsibilities and must coordinate appointments around my children’s schedules and medical needs. I tried to communicate my availability and find reasonable appointment times, but I did not feel that my circumstances were met with understanding or compassion. There were also appointment changes and delays, including a time when I waited nearly 30 minutes. What concerned me most was being told that there was “a lot of emotional regulation” needed on my part when discussing scheduling difficulties. I felt this was unfair and dismissive of my attempts to communicate my concerns. Dr. Sahib Din also told me that she had more than 40 patients and could not remember what she told every individual patient. I understand that healthcare providers have demanding workloads, but I believe patients deserve clear communication, individualized attention, and to feel that their concerns are taken seriously. My appointments often felt very brief, sometimes lasting approximately 15 minutes and primarily focusing on medication. I did not feel that my concerns were adequately addressed. Mental healthcare requires more than prescribing medication. Patients deserve empathy, patience, clear communication, and respect, particularly when dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or other personal challenges. I have decided to transition to another provider. I believe this experience could have been handled with greater understanding and professionalism. I hope this feedback encourages improvement in communication and patient care. Every patient deserves to feel heard, respected, and treated with dignity.

Dr Parmelee is the best. Great listener with empathy and compassion

I am truly grateful for my psychiatrist, Dr. Long. He is incredibly patient, kind, and understanding in every session. He listens without judgment, explains things in a way that makes me feel supported, and consistently shows genuine care for my wellbeing. This Thanksgiving, he is one of the people I am most thankful for. His guidance has made such a positive difference in my life, and I’m deeply appreciative of the comfort and clarity he brings to my healing journey.

Dr. Wanzek is very knowledgeable about psychotropics and has worked with me to find a suitable medication regime to address my mental health issues. He works with the patient to find the optimal solution.

Dr Mekles is a highly skilled professional. He has worked very hard towards my health, and made it possible to have comprehensive mental health care. I know now how I come across to people by educating myself on my diagnosis. I didn’t know what I should take charge of.

I had newly relocated to NY and getting a new psychiatric provider is hard. Paula Simpson made my transition so easy, such a great listener, very thoughtful and complete intake. I instantly felt trust that my needs were going to be met and they have been.

Dr. Pell combines deep clinical expertise with genuine empathy. He listens attentively, explains treatment options in clear, practical language, and tailors plans that fit real-world challenges.

awesome

great

I have been a patient of Dr Mekles for a year. He met with me when I needed his support until I stabilized enough to receive TMS and Spravato the last few weeks. And now talk to a therapist. It was intense and I came to his practice with severe issues. It was so painful to tease out what was at the root. Dr Mekles met me where I am at. He is a hard working professional and advocate for the mental health for his patients. A good guy. He worked very hard to figure me out. I received an accurate, complex diagnosis. It explains so much of who I am. The strengths and weaknesses. It was so painful to get to this point and still is to a degree. I believe I have landed in a safe place to pick myself up again. He had faith in me and I was able to rally even when it seemed insurmountable. I am my healthiest I’ve been in my adult life. I am much more of a partner to my husband. We adore each other. In my opinion, in a short amount of time, he understands a lot about us by now. And we are grateful today because we adore each other. We are good people. As an adult, with my history I am not confident at all it would have turned out this positive. This is the harsh truth. And my husband agrees. I have a lovely life to enjoy right now that my husband and I worked hard to have.

Quick, efficient & truly the best psychiatrist ive ever had. thankful for Dr Willenbring

Really good doctor. Understanding and figured my issues from the first session.

Clean, polite and quick

Dr Glover was a very pleasant guy. He knows his medicine and vitamins. Looking forward to our next discussion.

Dr. Laurel is exceptional! She has been with me since the beginning of my mental health journey that has taken many ups and downs over the last year. It’s easy to get discouraged in this process but Dr. Laurel was there at every turn, encouraging me and finding the right solution that worked for me. She’s always made me feel empowered and has entertained every question I threw her way. Her approach is refreshing to see!

Excellent team, highly recommend them

Dr Mekles is an understanding doctor. He listens well, considers alternatives in helping you, and if you have an issue his office schedules you right away. I'm very comfortable with Dr Mekles. Highly recommend him!

Clean, Calming and polite staff. It was my first time there but it was a good experience.

Dr Meckles is extremely smart and professional. Anytime I find myself in a “pinch “ he is incredibly FAST to respond and get me medication if that is what is appropriate. He also is good at providing positive feedback as needed.

Dr. Aribara has been incredibly supportive and understanding in helping me manage my anxiety. They took the time to listen, prescribed the right medication, and made a real difference in my well-being. They also went above and beyond to assist me with accommodations for my exam, ensuring I had the support I needed. I truly appreciate their compassion and dedication—highly recommend!

Always feel listened to.

Been my doctor for years. He's the best. He's kind, thorough, and always looking to do the best thing for his patients.

I moved to New York shortly after college and was struggling to find a psychiatrist that fit my needs. I have been going to Dr Pell for over a year now, and will recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and competent psychiatrist. Dr Pell is incredibly kind, and always listens to my concerns and has helped me manage my medication more successfully than any doctor I’ve had before. I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for kind staff, quick response responses, and flexible problem-solving!

Excellent

Effie is attentive, eager to hear from her patients, and genuinely wants to help.

Joon is a great psychiatrist and I would highly recommend working with him to treat any issues. He is super responsive and I was able to get an appointment with him very quickly when I needed help. He also takes care in his treatment and checks in with you periodically to make sure you are doing alright. Two thumbs up!

Very easy and straight forward, everyone was friendly and answered any questions I had

Great Doctor

I have had to rely on a psychiatrist the past 30 years. For me, it has been difficult to find the right psychiatrist. I found Dr. Mekles by chance. I am being sincere that he saved my life because I didn’t realize that what I was on was very bad. It has been rough but I see how I can have new goals. I would highly recommend NYC Psychiatrist Associates to see if it is a good fit for you. I hope to work with him for a long time.

Easy, relaxed environment. Staff is friendly and helpful. All and all a good experience.

Dr. Mekles and Dr.Ara M are Amazing! Their bedside manner is warm, welcoming, and feels like you're just chillim w a friend. "else() "is a different story. The ambiguous (subjective) $75 late or no show fee is excessive... also, be 24 mins one day and no problem! 28 mins a different day? "No staff will stay that late". So, is it your fault if you're late? Yes. But if traffic is ridiculous one day and not another - stay consistent. I know that Ara and Dr. Mekles wouldn't let this happen. So, if you're looking for any kind of cushion or understanding - even if it's supposed to be your 2nd treatment of the week, ask Ara or Dr. M to help you our or get a referral for additional treatment somewhere else. Chances are, you won't see "else()" coming out of the elevator giggling w a coworker 1.75 hrs before closing... cause there won't be staff, remember?

Great service

It’s a really calm and serene place to disconnect and recalibrate

Responsibly helping me detox at home from a controlled substance. It’s very uncomfortable and he is always available to help me manage the withdrawal so it can be possible. Meanwhile he actually is treating me for depression and anxiety with safe medication. He actually cares.

Always available .. responds immediately to my text if I have concerns . Always patient and was able to wean me from a bad medication given by a former doctor.. without any detox . Then worked with me to get the right medication.. Never disregards my concerns .

great experience

Listen Patience Concern Give you good valve time.

She's amazing, caring and pays attention.

The best doctor/staff to patient experience I’ve ever had!!

Dr. Pell is very understanding and a good listener. He takes into account my concerns. He doesn't push his ideas onto me.

Very helpful and understanding

Great visit

I’ve been in Dr Mekles practice for about 3 months. I feel much better and able to enjoy myself and be there for my family and friends. It seems he is open to getting to know me before providing a conclusive diagnosis which has not been my experience with prior psychiatrists. I feel in good hands.

Dr. Glover asked me very important baseline questions to get to know me during our first session. Then provided really meaningful advice and support.

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Theventhiran. The entire experience, from the moment I spoke to her, is exactly what I was looking for. She is friendly and efficient, and is not only knowledgeable but also takes the the time to address all my questions and concerns. I feel confident in the care I receive. Highly recommend.

Patrick Wambugu is very caring and attentive to his patients. He helped guide my life to a better and stronger path and I can never thank him enough for his help. I couldn’t ask for a better Psychiatrist! Trust me, he’s the one you want taking caring of you!

hi

Nice and attentive

hi

Professional, caring, and knowledgeable. He shows true concern for his patients’ wellbeing.

Dr. Laurel is very attentive to my child’s needs and shows high professional standard in her sessions with teenager. She is very cooperative with parent as well. We are very pleased so far. gladly would recommend her services

Amazing psychiatrist.

Very attentive anders to talk to.

Great listener, supportive, helpful, and friendly.

Great experience. Good listener and great bedside manner.

Excellent experience

She is just the absolute best.

Dr. Rubenstein is absolutely fantastic. I've been seeing him for about a while now. He has great recall, is extremely patient, knowledgeable and kind.

Excellent

Dr. Willey is absolutely fantastic. I already booked my next appointment and so far it has been excellent.

Doctor demetriv demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge and expertise, offering clear and detailed explanations about my condition". The care I received from doctor demetriv was exceptional. He listened attentively to my concerns and provided personalized treatment that yielded positive results" The entire experience, from the moment I spoke to him was fantastic. Thank you so much would recommend !!!

Great at listening and explains his thoughts thoroughly!

Hi Dr M has been great and he is there for me all the time

Attentive and through

Dr. Rubenstein is an attentive and patient listener. He seems to keep detailed notes of sessions with patients, for his recall is good.

So far, so good. No complaints and I would highly recommend

Dr. M is a fantastic doctor and by far the most talented practitioner I’ve seen in the 10+ years I’ve sought help. Things are finally stable and on an upward trajectory. Everyone has their own personal style and Dr. M is not afraid to challenge you with tough questions and not let you bs around them, and those are opportunities for growth if you take them.

Dr Mekles puts thought into each appointment it seems from my many years of experience with psychiatrists. I am lucky that that the medicine he prescribed have helped immensely. The ability to do telehealth has helped me be able to meet frequently until I’ve stabilized.

Excellent professional and very kind , easy to talk , and very knowledge, my son with 16 years old fell very comfortable with her and me to as his mom !!. I totally recommend !!!

He’s very understanding and patient

I have been seeing Dr. Aribara for almost a year now and he is amazing. He creates a safe environment for me to express my concerns and never judges me. He has assisted me in continuing the journey of my mental health healing. I am very grateful for him.

Doctor was very attentious.

Dr. Din was remarkably attentive and solution-oriented. She really helped me feel heard while also answer any questions I had about medication or follow up appointments. Thank you Dr. Din!

Dr. Din, Was very professional. Thorough and warm. Asked me questions that got to the heart of the matter. Spent time with me. I was very happy with the service.

Very personable. Actually listens, and makes himself available when in need.

I had a positive experience with Dr. Jalan.

This doctor is very patient and knowledgeable and always concerned about my well-being

Dr. Grewal is a remarkable psychiatrist who possesses not only exceptional clinical skills but innate qualities to make you feel genuinely understood and supported. His listening skills are unparalleled—he doesn’t just hear words but intuitively grasps the nuances and unspoken emotions that so often accompany them. This ability is not something that can be taught; it’s an inherent quality that allows him to forge a strong therapeutic relationship, which is central to healing. As someone who has been over-medicated in the past, I’m profoundly grateful for his judicious approach to prescribing and his ability to understand my unique circumstances. I can’t reccomend him enough to anyone seeking compassionate mental health care!

Great experience!

Great listener, takes research into account, looks out for patients

Have been working with her for a while now and would recommend her to anyone! Makes me feel comfortable and heard. Very grateful!

Perfect!

Very necessary for my continual growth as a family member, as well as an Individual, navigating thru, casual dating.

Perfect for my needs!!

Very empathetic, great listener. Very satisfied overall!

Dr. Aribara is really good at listening to me and recommending advice for my specific situation. As I go through a job transition and was worried about things like changing insurance and making sure I can stay on task, Dr. Aribara was able to give me good advice on what to focus on and help sort out any logistical concerns I had!

Dr. Javeria Din has been the first psychiatrist I’ve ever seen in my life. She made me feel comfortable and she was very supportive and empathetic. She gave me medication options and was knowledgeable. We started the appointment on time and everything went smoothly. She was great and I would recommend

Dr. Devesh Jalan and his team are a well oiled machine. I randomly chose him from ZocDoc and consider myself to have hit the lottery - Dr. Jalan is a bona fide professional who epitomizes the rigorous due diligence and empathy that is so rare but necessary for his field. His staff have also been the most patient, responsive and gracious people I have encountered. Without a doubt, I recommend them for first timers and other persons looking for an exceptional medical provider and office. Cheers. /Jeff

Very responsive and easy to talk to

Very understanding, knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend her to anyone!

Amazing doctor and doctor who cared to explained with a chart even though most doctors would not. 10/10 Amazing

Dr. Jalan is very attentive and listens to my problems, no matter how small they seem to me. He also does not immediately jump to prescribing medication but rather urges careful monitoring of symptoms over days/weeks and ruling out physical health problems before considering changes to psychiatric medication. I really appreciate this approach.

Very knowledgeable and I always feel comfortable asking questions.

Dr. Theventhiran is consistently patient and supportive. She’s really good at celebrating my strengths and still caring about my concerns. The office is amazing as well, responsive and helpful. 10/10 look forward to it every month

Dr Jalan is very professional, caring and concerned. I felt like I was talking to a friend!

Great!

Understanding and supportive

Very knowledgeable and attentive doctor. Always listens to concerns. Always willing to discuss things. All around one of my best experiences with medical professionals.

Dr. Jalan is a caring professional, he listens and provides patients with carefully thoughtout treatment options. He answers all questions with clarity, making the experience smooth and stress free.

William has been super helpful, and his medication adjustments have really helped me become my happier self again. He is incredibly knowledgeable and a great listener. I also appreciate how follow up appointments are automatic and hassle free.

Wonderful -- Thoughtful -- Extremely perceptive and responsive!!

Always there when I need.

Easy to arrange appointments, she is always very relaxed in our calls and listens to my experiences before recommending next steps.

Excellent!

Dr. Jalan was very thorough and compassionate during my initial intake. We reviewed all my current symptoms and worked together to problem solve and find a solution. He made me feel cared for and comfortable discussing what I was going through without passing judgment and genuinely wanting to help. Would highly recommend.

Dr Din was very attentive to me, asked me alot of great questions and is very genuine in her concern. I felt very comfortable speaking with her.

Absolutely wonderful patient care and service! I’ve gone thru several doctors and they’re by far the best! Thank you so much!

I absolutely love his approach to my health

Attentive, knowledgeable, and helpful; since I have begun seeing him I have felt as though he really takes the time to listen to my experiences and concerns about my unique individual mental health and behavioral challenges and circumstances, which is something rare that I appreciate very much in a provider. I have worked with many psychiatric providers and trialed many different combinations and dosages of medications, which can be very frustrating with varying degrees of success, whereas I feel now that I am on a very positive trajectory and that he really cares to take the time to get it RIGHT and address the lingering challenges that have had a huge impact on my day-to-day life and wellbeing.

Attentive and through - really took the time to hear me and then presented available options, noting both the pros and cons of each one. It was a great evaluation with a positive outcome

I’ve been in Dr. Mekles practice for one month. Within the first meeting I started on a more positive and healthy trajectory. I went through five providers both in the medical and mental health field over seven years. I was in a very vulnerable position, but I am feeling like myself more each day. He has been effective and more attentive than any doctor I’ve experienced, and has a sense of humor while also being compassionate. I couldn’t put my finger on why I was having so much trouble but I don’t have to worry about the root cause anymore. I can actually relax.

Dr. Jalan is my favorite of all the psychiatrists I've ever been to. He has a very holistic lens on medication management and takes time to check in about other domains of life that may or may not impact medication needs. I also enjoy the collaborative tone he takes of problem solving through certain challenges, he invites my expertise on myself and bridges what I'm noticing with his medical expertise.

Dr. Green is very knowledgeable in all aspects of his field. One concern I had was being able to reach my psychiatrist quickly if need be. The text number for patients is invaluable. My questions are answered so quickly and accurately. It's a great system! Dr. Green wants to do what's best for me in regards to my medication, even though I don't make it easy for him.

Dr. Jalan has been super helpful in assisting me with frequent touch bases regarding my condition. He is very attentive and provides expert knowledge in his field. He is also very friendly and knows how to connect with me as an individual and not just another patient checked off from a list. I highly recommend Dr. Jalan and will continue working with him for the long-term.

Understanding and Compassionate

Good doctor. Listens and engages appropriately.

Dr. Jalan is a great psychiatrist that really takes the time to listen to his patients’ concerns and develop a plan specific to their needs. He’s thorough in ensuring his patients are on a treatment plan that suits them, knowledgeable about the effects of each medication, and works to find a solution that is sustainable for his patients in the long term.

Dr. Wanzek made a dramatic impact on my life. I’ve been seeing him for about the last 9 months now and I can’t tell you how much my life has changed for the better. I was dealing with so much anxiety, depression, and panic attacks that it just consumed my whole personality. Well, with the help of Dr Wanzek, Prozac, and therapy every week I finally feel like I am my self again. It feels so great to be able to be there for my friends and family, but most importantly it feels great that I’m taking care of myself again. Thank you so much Dr. Wanzek, you really did give me my life back. Thank you, Kaitlin.

Outstanding doctor , great personality , pay s excellent attention to you and the concerns. I am very happy under the care of DR Dimitry! I would recciment anyone who is in need of help to dr. Dimitry. Thank you once again !

Been with Dr Jalan for over a year and he has been critical for my health

Dr. JALAN is awesome! He has been helping me this year and has been very responsive and supportive along the way.

Dr. Ammar is an excellent clinician—for me, having made the right diagnosis and getting me on the right medication has been enormously helpful. He’s easy to talk to, explains things well, and is kind.

Dr Fan is great! very professional, friendly and easy to talk with!

Really love Dr. Wambugu. I genuinely feel that he has my best interests in mind and communicates exactly that, which is reassuring. It’s also so helpful to have a doctor of color when you are mixed like myself, since it can be easier to relate and explain cultural aspects to mental health. Thank you Dr!

Dr. Devesh Jalan is a bona fide professional and his team are saints. Highly recommend first timers to consider them in order to save themselves from navigating the perennial minefield that is mental health services and insurance-related issues.

Great experience

Dr. Mekles is a genius with medication. He gave me the right meds after scores of psychiatrists failed.

Dr Jalan is very professional, friendly and puts me at ease right away!

Dr Jalan always answers all of my questions and makes sure to check on all the important factors regarding my health during my visits. The staff is great at responding quickly and being flexible with scheduling.

Dr. Pell is an excellent psychiatrist and really helps make my life easier and more productive.

So clear and I like how I could be direct and open with her. I felt safe and comfortable. I also like how she recommended an approach that best fit my lifestyle.

Patrick is a kind, caring, and knowledgeable NP. He takes the time to speak with you and understand not just your medical history, but what’s going on in your life as well. I feel very comfortable with NP Patrick Wambugu, more so than with past psychiatrists or nurse practitioners.

Dr. Cristofano, is so wonderful. He’s patient and really listens and tries to help. I am so glad I’ve found him.

Good doctor. Understanding.

Dr. Pell is one of the most professional, caring, and knowledgeable doctors I have ever worked with. He’s not only thorough but also very concise. The whole clinic makes continuation of care very seamless and convenient for me. I’m very happy I found this practice.

Great doctor and helps me feel better!

Dr. Rubenstein is an active listener. He give sound feedback and you feel as if he is invested in what you and you mental health. I would HIGHLY recommend him. He is always accommodating when I have a schedule change and his response to your after-hours question is lightening speed.

Always supportive. He has helped me feel better than I have in 15 years with the medications he’s prescribed! Highly recommend!!

Not exaggerating - Dr. Grewal is the best healthcare provider I’ve ever worked with. He is the kindest, most helpful, most understanding, and professional person. I am so lucky to work with this practice.

Easy and professional.

Dr. Rubenstein was incredibly gracious and a great listener. He was very reassuring and said we’d figure it out together, very appreciative of his help and understanding!

Extremely professional and candid provider. Is willing to pushback gently with his advice in a way that makes you feel reassured but also to educate you in a kind manner. Can’t recommend Dr. Meyerovich enough!!!

Dr. Jalan, is an excellent doctor. He is professional, providing patients with care that’s in their best interest.

helpful and caring

I felt heard and understood. Dr Syed was very informative about the uses and side effects of the medications he suggested for my case. It was a great experience overall :-)

Great Doctor

Dr. Jalan is terrific. He listens carefully. He is compassionate. He helped me arrive at a diagnosis, provided options that might help, and helped me choose between these options. He follows up to ensure the chosen option is working well for me and monitors for side effects. Working with him has significantly improved my life in a short period of time.

Good psychiatrist always available and willing to make sure you are getting better

I have struggled with my mental health my whole life, and in the past 5 years have had many incredibly scary acute crises. I've had so many psychiatrists in so many different capacities that I got to the point where I felt I was beyond repair. Dr. Mekles is the first doctor who has made me feel hope. He is patient, honest, always available, a great listener, and never gave up on me. I feel beyond lucky to have found NYC Psychiatric Associates and I am finally starting to get my life back.

Dr. Meyerovich is always helpful and listened to what my issues were from the get go to help me set me on the best path forward to manage my daily issues. I can tell he cares for his patients and offers multiple solutions to find the best action forward for every individual.

Dr. Jalan is very helpful and attentive. He's helped me balance my medication during a difficult depression and, unlike other professionals I've dealt with elsewhere, is genuinely interested in my well-being. Kudos!

Dr Jalan is an amazing psychiatrist. He is very caring and his office is flexible with scheduling

It has always been very good for mental stability and personal life.

Dr.Fan is a great. He answers your questions in details and let's you know everything you need to know about your meds.

Dr. Rubenstein has been an amazing psychiatrist my whole time with him!! He really listens to my goals with my treatment and really makes sure that we are making progress with them. Thank you Dr. Rubenstein!

Very concerned, patient and proactive!

Dr. Jalan is a brilliant psychiatrist, very precise to diagnose and prescribe. I felt very confident in his care from the very first month of treatment. I've come to really appreciate the time he takes to really ask questions and listen to my concerns. I am truly grateful for this combination of professional excellence and genuine care.

He is so kind, smart, and thorough!

five stars.

Dr. Grewal is an exceptional doctor who genuinely cares about your well-being and takes the time to listen to your needs. Punctual and always ready to assist!

I have been seeing Joonkwon Bak for several months now, and I can confidently say that he has made a tremendous difference in my mental health and overall well-being. I highly recommend Mr. Bak to anyone seeking professional help for their mental health.

Dr. Joonkwon Bak is very nice and thorough. He answers all my questions and recommends helpful tips for thinking about my health.

Dr Christophano is an excellent Dr, he is very easy to talk to, the ideal person for his profession. I highly recommend him, very understanding and knowledgeable professional.

great

I highly recommend NYC Psychiatric Associates for their high level of care, easiness to book appointments and prompt response to any potential medical issue. Many thanks to Dr Cristofano, a fantastic psyhiatrist, for a very effective treatment, for his kindness and willingness to accommodate me even outside his regular schedule! I always feel support from Dr Cristofano. Thank you! Maria Mondoc Green

Very pleasant demeanor

Dr. Rubenstein is always patient and kind. He listens well and asks all the good questions when making a treatment plan. He is also extremely thorough with explaining what to expect from the medications. He is easy to talk to, and I love how warm, nonjudgemental, and understanding he is. It’s been a pleasure working with Dr Rubenstein.

Exceptional receptionist, front desk, staff with scheduling Dr. Grewal very kind patient solution oriented and empathetic practitioner

Dr. Glover is caring, considerate and easy to work with. I appreciate that he not only prescribes appropriate medication, but also will recommend supplementation and health practices to avoid over medicating. I have felt more at ease working with Dr. Glover than I have with other psychiatrists in the past. I do not think he is the perfect psychiatrist for every patient, but I think he can be a great benefit in the lives of those who find his approach suits their personality. He takes a methodical, textbook approach at first and then suits treatment to a patient’s needs. I would recommend him to anyone.

Honest and diligent, very good at responding.

Great doctor

After a gnarly experience with a psychiatry NP in NYC, speaking with Dr. Campbell was great. He was attentive, thorough, and listened to all of my concerns in creating a treatment plan. Would definitely recommend to others.

Dr. Jalan is the man!

LOVE Dr. Cristofano!!! Super Knowledgeable and compassionate 10/10 highly recommend.

Dr. Grewal is kind, compassionate and caring. He listens to your concerns and answers thoroughly. He is the psychiatrist who truly has it all.

Always on time, explains things well, willing to work with me and answer any questions I have.

Dr. Jamuna Theventhiran, MD humanizes the process and makes me feel heard, would recommend!

Dr Noah Melikan is highly skilled and compassionate. He has helped me considerably and continues to guide me through my issues . I give him 5 stars!!

Dr. Dmitry Meyerovich is a fantastic psychiatric medical professional. He’s an excellent communicator and evaluator. I highly recommend him.

The first step to address Mental Health is acceptance. This doctor’s “bedside manner,” creates accessibility for acceptance, resulting in a higher likelihood for recovery. This is a public thank you

Noah is a thoughtful, patient, and genuine person who I am so very grateful to have in my corner.

so sweet!

Doctor Aribara is very caring and helpful. Fully recommend.

I really enjoy my sessions with Dr. JALAN. He is extremely warm and empathetic but at the same time he’s very educational.

Warm, insightful, relaxed -- I enjoy my work with Dr. Aribara.

To me, living with mental illness is analogues to being caught in a ripe tide. Panic sets in and you cannot accept help from those trying to give it to you. A year ago, I began searching for a psychiatrist. NYC Psychiatric Associates was truly the only practice that answered my call. I was given an appointment in days, not months; their intake process was flawless. To be honest I did not care for him at first – Dr. Meckles. Tactless, I thought. He was disheveled with messy red hair, not what I was expecting, telehealth or not. I was taken aback when he selected a medication for me at the end of our initial consultation. Surely, my condition was more complicated than that. We parted ways. Two months later, Dr. Meckles reached out to me, unprompted as if he knew from experience that I would be ready to hear him and I was. I convinced myself that there was a method to his madness, that he must have treated hundreds, if not thousands of patients like me. I took a leap of faith and agreed to follow his recommendations. There were times where I was not easy to work with, surely, but he stayed with me every step of the way, on good days and bad, above and beyond. Swim sideways. “Just take your medicine,” he said. This last year has not been easy, nothing worthwhile ever is. Managing mental illness is not a spectator sport and I encourage you to be an active participant in your own wellness journey. Be patient. As you start to feel better, do better. You will see progress, maybe not in the moment, but in hindsight. Medication is just the beginning, not the end. I will be forever grateful to have crossed paths with Dr. Meckles. After a lifetime of miss diagnosis, pain and suffering I am slowly but surely becoming the person that I once could only dream of being. I am back on shore with a lifeguard on duty. The last time we spoke, after a year of working together, I saw Dr. Meckles smile - from ear to ear. And that meant the world to me. Sailing away, Maggie

Dr Mekles is not only damn good at his craft, but he also is extremely passionate about his work and his patients. He cares a lot! His business and operational acumen really makes for a unique and great patient experience. I don’t take it for granted. Thank you to you and your staff.

Dr. Ammar has been one of the most helpful and understanding practitioners who we have had. We hold Dr. Ammar in the highest regard, without any reservations.

Dr. Akeem was very considerate of my condition and helped me lot.

Truly one of my favorite providers. I lucked out when I found Dr Consiglio by chance through online sources: she's very attentive, listens with so much empathy, and always gives me really helpful opinions and advice on my situation, beyond just prescribing medication. Sometimes she will give me suggestions for lifestyle changes, and potential supplement changes to talk to with my providers. It's clear that she believes that mental health requires holistic solutions and not just medication, and having a doctor like this makes me feel so heard and seen.

Dr. Robert is the best Doctor. He is very good doctor.

Best doctor ever, very helpful, easy to communicate.

Always pleasant and helpful. We zero in on the problem together and figure out a solution. I'm lucky to have found such an awesome Physician! Also, high marks for the support staff. I never have to wait for a response and they communicate very well over the internet. I've always been virtual with this practice so I can't speak for face-to-face visits. Very happy all the way around!

Dr. Grewal is an excellent doctor with great bedside manners and tremendous knowledge. He takes his time answering your questions and explaining things. I would recommend him because it is doctors like him that we need more of.

Effie was a tremendous help

Always listens and is very personable and helpful

Dr. Jalan is a great doctor - I’ve seen him over the past couple years and it’s been a great experience. Dr. Jalan is patient, asks thoughtful questions and cares about my overall wellbeing and health. I would 100% recommend him.

Excellent care. I’ve seen many other providers but Dr. Grewal really seems to listen and remember so it doesn’t feel like I’m having the same discussion every session. Also he has been very knowledgeable and his experience shows he goes way beyond textbook knowledge. I also feel safe in his care, he’s not just trying to push prescriptions but is much more careful in process

Dr. Meyerovich was thorough and has great follow up questions to what you’re currently feeling.

Dr. Parmelee is very professional, knowledgeable and reliable. He is also very friendly and I always feel I am in good hands with him and look forward to our sessions.

Dr Campbell is not your regular insurance covered psychiatrist. He’s taken the time to help me through a very hard time and is very therapeutic

I have had nothing but good results with Dr. Grewal from the start. I was in a pretty tough spot when I began working with him. He is pleasant. He listens to me, explains how and why he thinks what he does about my treatment and makes himself available to me between appointments if I have any concerns. I cannot be more grateful. Thanks!

Effie is attentive, empathetic, will challenge you when needed, and most of all concerned about your well being. She is excellent.

He’s a good doctor

Dr. Cristofano is really chill and listens with no judgment. I have been a patient of his for more than a year now. With his help, I was able to pull myself up from the abyss of darkness. Emotional flu is not hard to recognize; what is challenging is to acknowledge it and allow yourself to accept help. I still have a lot of work to do with myself, but I hope everyone finds their own path to happiness. It’s gonna be okay.

Dr. Theventhiran is warm, professional, and very skillful. I've really appreciated having her as a psychiatrist, and I am disappointed to have to move on and find another clinician due to how chaotic and stressful it has been to obtain regular refills. I am told to request refills on the patient portal, and rarely get a response. I then call the office, and the voicemail tells me to have my pharmacy fax a request in for a refill. The only consistent way has been to text the phone number, and even with that, I rarely confirmation that my refill has been issued. I never know if getting my refill will take a day, a week, or two weeks, which is really stressful. The administrative process for this practice leaves a lot to be desired, which is too bad as they have excellent clinicians like Dr. Theventhiran.

Dr. Todd Mekles is awesome. My wife had terrible time for the last six months but he gave her the right medication and she is recovering steadily. Thanks Doctor.

Compassionate but also clear and direct. Would recommend to anyone.

She's very helpful and kind. Fantastic dr to work with both while figuring out the right medication and dosage; and while maintaining the right dosage

This is my first experienced with a psychiatrist and Dr. Campbell Made me feel welcomed and heard. He walked me through everything and took any Stigma I had Psychiatrist completely away with his calm and knowledgeable demeanor.

Dr. Bak is excellent and very professional. He listens to all.my concerns with no problem.

I recently had the pleasure of receiving treatment at NYC Psychiatric Associates, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere of the office space. The environment is pristine and calming, making it an ideal place for mental health care. The staff and doctors are incredibly kind and compassionate. They took the time to listen to my concerns and made me feel heard and valued. The personalized care and attention I received were exceptional. Thanks to their comprehensive and effective treatment, particularly that which was administered to me by Ara and Fiona, I feel like a real functioning person again. NYC Psychiatric Associates has truly made a positive impact on my life, and I highly recommend their services to anyone seeking mental health support.

Brian and Fiona are so kind and considerate. They work hard to get you your medicine and appointments. Dr Cristofano is empathetic and did a great job guiding and educating me. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough. Even the office itself is quite a pleasant atmosphere. Thanks everyone

My experience with Dr. Laurel was phenomenal. As an international student, I have recently learned that navigating the US healthcare system for ADHD treatment is a nightmare, both financially and logistically. Between the cost of medication (even generic medication after insurance) and mandatory follow-up appointments every month, it can be extremely difficult financially. On top of that, many doctors are reluctant or dismissive about ADHD diagnoses and treatment. In the past, I have often felt like I am not being listened to. At times, other providers have even made me feel like I am being interrogated. With all these factors/stressors, I had nearly given up on seeking treatment in the US. My experience with Dr. Laurel was so wonderful and refreshing. I didn't feel like I was being rushed through the appointment. I felt like she really, truly listened to my concerns, and she asked many specific and relevant questions which made me feel like she was putting actual effort into creating a plan that worked for my specific needs. When I expressed concern about affording my prescription, she even gave me some extremely helpful advice about coupons that sometimes end up being even cheaper than insurance. She even warned me about the current shortage, and that I may have to contact several pharmacies to find one that has my meds in stock. I really appreciated knowing that in advance, and when I finally found a pharmacy that could fill my script, she was extremely prompt in sending it there. The system is still a nightmare to navigate, but I so appreciate Dr. Laurel being so helpful with the aspects she had control over. She made sure that I had an appropriate treatment plan, and that accessing my medication would be as straightforward and affordable as possible given the current circumstances. I highly recommend Dr. Laurel. The US healthcare system could do with more providers like her.

My experience with Dr. Jalan and the entire office has been more than impressive. They were always fast to respond when I had questions. Dr. Jalan has great bedside manners & the office has consistently delivered great patient care. Highly recommend

There is no greater psychiatrist. Dr. Melikian listens and makes treatment decisions with you, not for you. He’s up-to-date on the latest treatments and research, so you’re able to have the most effective treatment possible. It’s really difficult to find a doctor as great as Dr. Melikian, and I’m really glad he chose to be a psychiatrist.
