I had been suffering under the care of another psychiatrist for a year and a half. Finally out of…read moredesperation I googled the best psychiatrist in NYC and Dr. Mekles came up. That description of him is very accurate. He is without a doubt the best doctor I have ever dealt with. The attention you get from him is outstanding. If you're experiencing a problem, you can be sure you will speak to him that same day. His office staff is just as attentive. I highly recommend him. You can be sure you will get the best care possible. Thank you Dr. Mekles for helping me get back to myself again anxiety-free.

My experience with Dr. Brian Pell deserves to be publicly documented so others know exactly what…read morethey are walking into. I booked an appointment specifically for an ADHD assessment, clearly stated as such. That was the entire purpose of the visit. Yet, during the call, Dr. Pell casually informed me that they are not conducting ADHD assessments at this time and may resume, possibly in January or February of next year. This immediately raised a red flag: if you are not offering the service, why accept an appointment for it? Why bill insurance for something you never intended to provide? The entire interaction lasted 18 minutes, and not a single part of it resembled an evaluation. Instead, we spent the bulk of the time discussing my career. He asked about my former psychiatrist's nationality; he seemed very interested in why he didn't take insurance "as a Black doctor" (which I perceive as a common conflation between race and poverty). He then asked only two quick, surface-level questions about why I was seeking an ADHD assessment. Then in the same breath that he told me they are not doing assessments, he also told me that I probably do not have ADHD. He said this despite the fact that I was coming to him for a second opinion after already completing a comprehensive, legitimate ADHD evaluation with a diagnosis from an actual specialist. (I did not share I was coming in for a second opinion, as I didn't want it to be biased). He provided no testing, no structured questions, no clinical methodology, nothing that even remotely resembled evidence-based practice. The whole thing felt dismissive, and frankly, like a complete waste of my time. I left the appointment feeling misled and deeply uncomfortable, as insurance had been billed for a service that was never delivered. If you are seeking serious mental health care, diagnostic clarity, or responsible clinical practice, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. This experience felt unhelpful and entirely out of alignment with what any patient should expect from a licensed provider.

The Center became one of the most prominent institutions in NYC, for the training of LCSWS, PHDs in the study of Psychotherapy.

I treasure those whom I became acquainted with while studying back at the center in 1984, after graduating Columbia 1983.

As someone who suffers from ADD/ADHD (what is it even technically called?), when you're met with roadblock after roadblock on the course to treatment you eventually just... stop looking. That's actually what happened to me. A professor of mine noticed that some symptoms I was exhibiting matched that of a fellow student who also struggled in the class. He suggested I seek a diagnosis as it could help provide me the necessary resources in college to overcome something I was up against. Growing up in the 90s, I, like many others my age, was told that we were just lazy, not trying hard enough, and that ADD/ADHD wasn't real and eventually I believed it. Now, a teacher of about the same age (I'm back in school thanks to the panny), is suggesting I seek treatment. So I started looking. I looked for months. Nobody had availability. I actually was about to give up when my partner came found Modern Integrative Psychiatry on Yelp. Normally they're crazy booked out, but thanks to whatever circumstance, I was able to secure an appointment with PMHNP Ashley Winn. I've been seeing her for around 6 or 7 months now and honestly it was the best decision I ever made. She makes seeking treatment painless and effortless. We meet remotely so even though I no longer live in the best city in the universe, I'm able to see her from campus, my car, or wherever I have access to the internet. It's been a great experience and I can't recommend this office or Ms. Winn enough. For those, like me, who may have suffered for too long without seeking treatment due to the stigma: give it a shot. You'll be happy that you did.

I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Antoine Adam. From my very first appointment, I felt…read moregenuinely seen, heard, and understood. He's one of those rare psychiatrists who doesn't just "listen", he truly *connects*. Dr. Adam is the definition of authentic... honest, compassionate, and deeply empathetic without ever feeling clinical or detached... He takes the time to really get to know you as a person, not just as a diagnosis. Every session feels like a safe space where I can be completely myself. His warmth, calm presence, and grounded approach have made such a difference in my mental health journey. I leave every conversation feeling lighter, more supported, and more hopeful. If you've ever struggled to find a provider who feels real, human, and truly invested in your well-being, I can't recommend Dr. Adam enough. He's one of a kind.

After one session with Ann, for the first time in my life, someone has given me answers I've been craving and put me on a plan that has changed my life overnight, given my hope about the future and gone above and she has gone above beyond to work with all parties involved to make me feel that I am surrounded by people that make me feel safe, and are without any doubt experienced in their field and can be trusted. If you have any doubt where and who to go to who can ACTUALLY help you. This is the place. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

And guess who won't be there to help you? This man^ Please get the help you truly need. I promise the other side is better. This isn't your fault. It pains me to see that he's still practicing. My health took a turn a few years back and the trauma this man has caused me prevents me from seeing doctors. I still have flashbacks of our visits. Particularly the one where he made me sit on his very low couch across the room, rather than the chair I usually sit it because I was wearing a shorter dress. Even when I said no. Followed by that lovely email explained in my original review. I would like to know how his assistant feels about the way he treats his patients. He must be getting paid really well to stay hush because if I were him I would be getting law enforcement involved. To those of you writing honest reviews - thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm afraid he's getting patients from zocdoc because for whatever reason he has only great reviews on there. If you could please also add your reviews on there, that could help and prevent a lot of people from seeing this man.

As a psychologist working in the mental health field in New York City, I can confidently say that…read moreDr. Turok is one of the finest psychiatrists in New York city. A thorough interviewer, generous with her time, she focuses first in an accurate diagnosis and only then proceeds, if needed, to medication recommendations, which tend to be informed not just by her extensive knowledge of psychopharmacology and interview data ,but also by state of the art genetic testing. Her approach to mental health is holistic, integrating physical and mental care as very few psychiatrist do. Most importantly, Dr Turok is a genuinely caring, reliable practitioner who minds her bedside manners and relates very well with her clients. I have referred some of my clients to her in the past, all of whom expressed great satisfaction and gratitude for her services. I strongly recommend Dr Turok to those who may be interested in consulting with a competent psychiatrist, be it for new treatment, desired change of providers or second opinion about their existing medication regime.

What sets him apart is his ability to think outside the box. He's not practicing with blinders on or hiding behind a degree -- he brings genuine curiosity, a growth mindset, and a well-rounded perspective that you can feel the second the conversation starts. He connects the dots in ways most providers don't even attempt. His energy is authentic, his approach is refreshing, and he restored something I honestly thought the healthcare system had taken from me: trust. If you feel like you're done trying -- go see him. Anyone who says otherwise probably doesn't understand the value of someone who genuinely wants to help you become the best version of yourself.

Doctor Adam (and I use the word "doctor" with caution) is the most neglectful psychiatrist I have…read moreever seen or heard of in my many years receiving medication management. He is purely transactional -- zero talk theapy. Far worse, he is absolutely negligent. On many occassions he has ghosted me for weeks -- not filing prescriptions that I depend on for my emotional well-being (which is borderine criminal). He should have his licenses stripped from him. PLEASE AVOID THIS INDIVIDUAL at all costs. To show what kind of person he is, he once held me "hostage" while coercing me to write a 5-star review. I suspect that many of the 5-star reviews shown here are artificial. Completely unethical. Please be careful. Follow-up edit: He emailed me in response to my post within 5 minutes, while it takes him over a week on occassion to respond to a refill request. This shows that he is only concerned with optics as opposed to providing a high level of service. Further, his business manager responded (within 10 minutes) with an iilegal post (i'd suspect?), referencing a category of medicine that violates doctor-patient confidentiality.

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.
