Anyone have a recommendation for a good psychopharmacologist in Brooklyn? Hopefully convenient to Park Slope/Windsor Terrace?

My current one was completely unreachable for long after the storm-time for a change.

Need someone who's approachable and knows their stuff.

    landlord, a psychopharmacologist is a psychiatric sub-specialty--they specialize in medications.

    the ones i know work up at columbia, snarf, or i'd give you names.

    Yes, potter and landord--from my understanding, a psychopharm is a person who can prescribe medications, and is a subspecialty

    I guess then I could also use a recommendation for a psychiatrist in Brooklyn who can prescribe meds. My insurance is GHI/Emblem. I'll create a new, separate post for this, and thanks (and potter, if you know anyone who fits this bill, I'd love to get their info).

    TY!

    all psychiatrists can prescribe meds. i'd suggest going through the list of psychiatrists in your insurance plan, and checking out their reviews.

    it's true that most of the good ones in NYC no longer take insurance, but it's worth a shot.
