The Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Sciences at Montefiore Medical Center is recognized as one of the best in the nation. It fuses together a unique blend of extraordinary physicians, a renowned clinical team, and exceptional educational and research resources to help patients cope with mental health disorders. We provide the highest quality care and the safest, most effective solutions to patients of all ages by integrating the latest advances in science and research into new treatment developments.
Caring Support During Difficult Times
Our reputation and state-of-the-art psychiatric and neuro-psychiatric programs draw patients from all over the nation. But unlike other facilities, our 22-bed inpatient unit forms an intimate setting to ensure individualized attention. Plus, our commitment to respecting privacy and demonstrating unsurpassed compassion offers patients a comfortable haven to discuss mental health issues.
It may be unsettling for patients and their family members to address a psychiatric or substance abuse disorder, but that's where our award-winning team of doctors distinguish themselves from care at other institutions. With specialized knowledge of a full range of clinical services, we deliver a precise diagnosis and carefully determine the most appropriate, customized treatment for each person. Our physicians discuss all available options with patients, and establish a mutual agreement on the best approach to achieving their goals.
