This woman is an Angel on earth. After meeting w/ Dr. Ewa, I found my life completely changed and for the better. After years of struggles and lots of mis-diagnosis', I finally was placed in the care of Dr. Kozikowska, and immediately got to the root of my obstacles and started me on an intensive plan. She is a straight-shooter and doesn't mince her words, but she is one of, if not THE, most honest, empathic, and genuinely invested psychiatrists I have ever come across. More physicians and medical professionals today should aspire to be like her, as such authenticity is rarely seen in the medical field. Thanks to her, I was able to finally focus and live of my life normally. Don't know where I would be today without all her help and I am grateful there are doctors like her still in practice. Highly highly recommend. read more

I saw Dr. Kozikowska for close to nine years leaving only because I had to start with Medicare and she can't prescribe for people on Medicare. Dr. Kozikowska consistently provided superior care. She listened to what I was saying, asking relevant questions and wasn't multitasking or pushing an agenda. I have a highly complicated set of medical and psychological issues. She worked with me with all of this in mind. What she remembered month to month was amazing. She listens and probes exceptionally well. By far the best psychiatrist I have ever worked with, and one that is very much in sync with new research, the development of new drugs and treatment techniques. Ted, the office manager/assistant is also very much on top of things. I would give a ten out of ten with ten being the highest rating if I could. Others I have referred to her have also found her to be extremely helpful. read more

One of the first psychiatrists I've had in a while that I felt really heard by. Teddy, her receptionist was incredibly kind and easy to work with. Super patient and helpful when it came to all my questions about insurance and picking an appointment time. The office is cozy and comfortable. Dr. Kozikowaska listened to everything that was on my mind and suggested a good way to deal with it. She's very smart and knowledgeable. I have a follow up appointment in two weeks, and am excited to come back and grow :) read more

Dr. Kowsikowska , as I mentioned to you already, you will be part of my delayed diagnosis medical malpractice case along with Dr. Sternchos, Dr. Bellevin , Dr. Bernstein, Dr. Greenberg, Dr. Melgar etc. I showed you my systemic mastocytosis diagnosis as per Dr. Kim ent bayside of her findings in November of 2020. You preferred a yellow pill and that's deadly for systemic mastocytosis that led me to north shore er room where they denied me care. North shore hospital is being sued also. And the things that have happened to me and my family since that diagnosis. I will be going over the word document sent to many lawyers and friends at our next appointment .

I've shopped around to find the perfect doctor for me and I felt Ewa is it. She is very understanding, logical, and sometimes she even laughs at my jokes. It makes me sad I am moving out of state and can't bring her with me. I greatly dislike her front desk man though. He seems ignorant and incompetent--no idea how to give proper customer service. On top of it all, he is constantly attempting to hustle extra money from me each time I've dealt with him. Example 1: When I first went in, he charged me $40 instead of the $20 co-pay. I questioned it at the time but he dismissed me. I had to bring in my insurance bill a month later to show him I knew he was attempting to scam me and got my money back. Example 2: When I lost my prescription slip, he told me I had to come back in, pay and do the entire appointment over again. I told him, I don't have time or the money to come back in. I did my part. Yes, I misplaced the paper, but it's not my fault they don't use an online system. Then he had the audacity to question me: How do you not have the money? It's $20! SO FUCKING RUDE. I AM A STUDENT. EITHER WAY IT IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. This is exactly what I told him. It didn't even seem to phase him. It's like he wasn't even listening to me. It was clearly just one more way he was trying to get more money out of me. Such a shame that Ewa is such a gem and she is paired with such a dud who makes her look terrible. read more

I went in thinking I was bipolar, but thru years-long trial & error found no mood stabilizer nor antidepressants worked for me. We tried Lamictal for a couple of yrs then it stopped working. She put me on lithium and it worked to calm my severe anxiety & depersonalization issues. But my severe depression lingered. I called her all the time, she took every call immediately. She never missed a beat. We tried all kinds of drugs to help with the depression. Nothing worked. But it took so much trial and error and she was so patient and took every crazy call I made to her. I was astounded at how responsive she was to me. When you get to know her, she laughs and jokes and is quite warm. But her nationality makes her seem cold to Americans. She is anything but cold. I feel she truly cares about me. She remembers every litte thing I've ever told her. sometimes I'm amazed at her memory! No notes! So I refer people to her and she has helped all of them. She is one of a kind I feel. Update: I am now taking something off-label for the treatment resistant form of chronic depression I have due to chronic PTSD. It is unorthodox but, amazingly, working! I've been seeing Ewa for 10y+ and finally depression-free for over a year now. Steady. I feel finally empowered to get up and get on w life w/o the nagging, constant mindset that nothing is worth trying or vying for. I feel like I felt before all that depression settled in long ago. I've gone thru hell & back in my job in the last year (literally it seems) but I don't feel defeated (at all), just interested now more than ever where my life journey is going to take me to my next career. We'll see! Here's to no longer being that Pink Floyd proverbial goldfish: the "lost soul swimming in a fish bowl year after year." Whew :) read more

Ive been a patient of Dr.Koz for many years now and she has monitored and managed my medication treatment with care and attention and helped me through the journey of finding the right treatment. She has been very open to my questions and concerns. Teddy is fantastic at everything needed to work through schedules, insurance, etc. It is a huge help to count on them both. read more

I am working with Doctor Kozikowska for a few years. She helped me incredibly. She suggested different approaches to my issues, and we found the right solutions. Her office is always reliable and flexible in accommodating my appointments. I would highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Kozikowska has a terrific bedside manner, is very responsive, kind and professional. There are so many crappy psychiatrists in the city, she is one of a kind. Not to mention her receptionist, Teddy, is an absolute delight to work with for appointments, etc. read more

Very empathetic doctor with professional manner and candor. Listens actively and provides the right suggestions.

Great doctor- easy and prompt scheduling. Helped me with ADD - and a regimented plan that works

Here are a few things I love about Dr Kozikowska. First and most important is her punctuality. I never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointment and would be out in half an hour. This is great! Second (just as important) she is knowledgeable but not pushy or judgmental, which is great for this type of specialty. She does come off a bit detached but I happen to like that...I have been to doctors who have been "warm and fuzzy" but lacked knowledge and didn't help me. She did. read more

I almost died and she didn't take blame for anything. She prescribed me medicine after I've never had one. I called her from the ER. She refused to talk to the doctor. So as inevitably as a northeastern grad with a masters from NYU I got stuck Ina psych ward bc of the effects of that medicine. read more

Most doctors who are specialists don't even accept insurance at all. They do, but new patients need to inquire with their insurance if she is in-network or out of network and how they'll have to file your claims. I don't think this is a big deal at all. Good luck, EP, finding a psychiatrist who accepts your insurance and doesn't ask you those book keeping questions! read more

Dr. Kozikowska is fantastic. She listens carefully, asks questions, and has a great grasp of what will work and what won't. I found her by chance and I'm so grateful. I can't rave about her enough! read more

Wow, I've been in and out of psychiatrists' offices in both LA and NY. Never have I ever encountered such a smart doctor who *listens*. She asks real questions and has an actual conversation. It is more than an in and an out with her appointments. I tend to jump from person to person Dr Kozikowska is worth going back to and is conveniently located in Midtown. read more

I have been going to Dr. Ewa since 2011 for Generalized Anxiety which is completely controlled now. She and the office manager Teddy are great. They are always accomodating, and Dr. Ewa is very kind and professional. Teddy is so friendly and always has a smile on his face. It definitely has a impact on the overall experience. I have had nightmares with other doctors and am so happy to have them. Recently, she stopped accepting my insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) but I am so happy with her that I am still going to visit her. I've recommended her to others. read more

Ewa is phenomenal. Very professional, understanding, logical and patient. I ALWAYS run late with no time to spare due to a heavy work schedule and she's been able to accommodate me in short order. Can't imagine a better experience. The front desk representative is also great and professional. read more

Now that she no longer takes my insurance (united healthcare/oxford) and I had to find alternatives, I miss her very much. Her somewhat cool demeanor is actually very caring compared to many others in this area that take insurance. She remembers who you are, what's going on in your life etc. if you need to reschedule appointments, come in later or make some adjustments the office works with you and is more or less understanding even though it's clearly a pain for them. Also, after switching I looked over my statements and noticed that she charges insurance half (!) of what this other popular guy in the area does for appointments. So although with insurance you only pay copay, think it's good to know. What I don't miss, is paying everything in cash. read more

Very nice doctor! Very professional. Really cares about her patients. If you want quality care, I highly recommend her.

Dr. Kozikowska has been my doctor for years. She has a very professional manner and I have been very happy with her. As someone who is committed to following my treatment plan, I really appreciate being respected for my commitment to my own health. Dr. Kozikowska has been a valuable ally in my journey to greater health and stability. Thank you Dr. Ewa!!! read more

Dr. Ewa K is absolutely amazing. She's a great listener and she's not just about money, she really tries to help people get back to a normal life. read more

I definitely reccommmend Dr. Kozikowska. She is very empathetic and attentive. She tapered me off psych. meds twice, in 2006 and again in 2013. I found her through a referral and stayed as long as I needed. read more

Dr. Kozikowska does not care about her patients. She is distant and removed.

I've seen a few psychiatrists and they are crazy and over prescribe. Dr. K is thoughtful, considerate and very smart and is neither crazy nor prescription happy. She's terrific. read more

Dr Kozikowska is a wonder. She is extremely compassionate and caring. She and Teddy have created an office that is very nurturing. She is patient and considerate. I go to her for anxiety disorder and she makes sure to keep very up-to-date on my life as well as my anxiety. This is a caregiver of real integrity. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Kozikowska for about a year + as half......at the ripe old age of 64 I was struck down by Panic Disorder and Clinical Depression literally almost overnight ..+ for the first time in my life....Dr K was recommended to me by a patient of hers and it literally saved my life.....she is extremely thorough, really listens and is always concerned to work with you regarding various medications/treatments...Although I have not met her right hand Teddy in person, I have spoken to him many times on the phone re appointments and he is just the best.....the fact that Dr K even takes insurance is a rarity in NYC ...and even without insurance her charges are very very reasonable compared to other specialists in the city...I am extremely grateful and fortunate to have found Dr. K to help me.. read more

Just okay. sometimes she smiles. sometimes she doesn't appear to be listening. agreed with maria b.

I don't recommend Dr K to anyone! She seems not to listen to her patients and she she is very inconsiderate and impatient. I think she only cares about the money, as she makes problems over little things and made me have an appointment several times only for a 5 min visit. My copayment is pretty high, so no wonder! I don;t have good opinions about this doctor, she just seems she doesn't care...that's all. read more
