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.
