Business Details
For nearly thirty years, we have dedicated our practice to providing specialized psychopharmacology and psychiatric care. Our founder attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and earned the Appel Award in Psychiatry before completing his residency at Yale University. During his time at Yale, he served as Chief Resident of the Research Unit, gaining valuable expertise in advanced clinical techniques. He then spent over twenty years on the faculty of Columbia University School of Medicine, training residents in diagnosis and treatment. We helped found Holliswood Hospital in Queens and served as its Medical Director before establishing our outpatient practice. Our extensive clinical experience allows us to specialize in the pharmacologic treatment of complex conditions.
We focus on addressing treatment-resistant depression, bipolar disorders, and various anxiety syndromes. By utilizing techniques learned and refined through decades of supervising residents, we ensure high professional standards. We begin treatment with a comprehensive one-hour initial evaluation to explore symptoms and prior treatments. We discuss the most promising treatment options, including their specific risks and benefits. Our commitment to client satisfaction is evident in our realistic assessments and tailored time-frames for symptom resolution. We operate across three locations in New York to provide accessible and expert care.

Services
Depressive Disorders Treatment
We diagnose and treat depressive disorders characterized by prolonged sadness and a lack of interest in usual activities. Our pharmacologic approach targets symptoms that persist for several weeks and do not resolve naturally. We assess each patient to determine if medication is appropriate or if adjunctive psychotherapy is required.
Bipolar Disorders Treatment
We specialize in the pharmacologic treatment of bipolar disorder, focusing on prolonged depressive episodes and heightened mood states. Our clinical team evaluates these mood states to ensure they are not appropriate reactions to life events. We develop treatment plans that outline realistic expectations for symptom resolution through targeted medication.
Anxiety Disorders Treatment
We provide medication treatment for varied anxiety syndromes, including generalized anxiety and panic disorder. Our practice addresses severe anxiety upon awakening, excessive worry, and brief episodes of a pounding heart. We utilize our extensive clinical experience to formulate effective pharmacologic interventions for these debilitating symptoms.
Pervasive Developmental Disorders Treatment
We offer specialized psychiatric services for pervasive developmental disorders, including Asperger's Syndrome. Our diagnostic process involves a comprehensive evaluation of developmental history and specific symptoms. We then discuss the most promising medication options and their associated risks and benefits with the patient.
Attention Deficit Disorder Treatment
We diagnose and treat Attention Deficit Disorder using advanced psychopharmacological techniques. Our treatment begins with an initial one-hour evaluation to explore symptoms and prior treatments. We provide patients with a realistic assessment of which symptoms will respond to medication and which require therapy.
