Brooklyn Minds Psychiatry, P.C.

I am one of the previous owners of Brooklyn Minds and am writing to clarify that we sold it to our colleague, Dr.Amanda Itzkoff, of Curated Mental Health in early April 2022, over a year ago. Any reviews after that date likely reflect the new management and team as most of our team is no longer at the practice and many aspects of it have changed. Please keep this in mind as you read them. Dr.Owen Muir and I left at the time of the sale and no longer have any involvement. My star rating reflects the time we were there as I cannot speak to anything after that point. I would have updated the practice description to reflect this change but no longer have access to do so.

This practice is awful. I started treatment because my old psych retired and I needed a new prescription. I spent nearly a year of my life of my life being treated like a guinea pig. I tried so many different medications, I spent the entire year sick. I almost got fired from my job because I was so incapable of going about my day to day life. All because I needed a new prescription for my SSRIs but was told this was not the proper medication for me. I had no reason not to trust the doctor but I really wish I had not. I ended up getting lithium toxicity and it went unchecked for months. I was not being sent for an adequate amount of bloodwork. I also got terrible cystic acne as a side effect of the medication but was never told this was a risk despite the fact that I would cry and cry over my skin. I ended up seeing a new psychiatrist in this practice who would not listen to my concerns or send me for bloodwork so I left the practice all together. A few weeks later, I got a call asking why I had a left and when I explained my concerns, they told me the psych was just not a good fit and did not acknowledge the borderline malpractice that had taken place. I should have ran after my first session. Everyone should please report this place as they should no longer have the opportunities to harm people.
