“I’m so happy I was introduced to Dr. Turok. I absolutely love her holistic approach she chose for me. I was in a bad place when I first met her, not as other doctors, she prescribed me natural supplements and that was the best thing for me at that time. ”

Getting to know Dr. Alisa Turok
Have no fear. Come and talk to me about anything that’s on your mind. You won’t be judged, ignored or misunderstood. I will take time to make you feel comfortable, establish a connection and get to know you better. Together we will explore all aspects of your present life and the essential components of your history, analyze all contributing factors, including medical, psychological, social and spiritual, to come up with a plan. It might include psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, or both. My goal is to help you achieve your personal and professional best.
Residency, addiction fellowship training and many years of experience make me proficient in CBT, motivational and psychodynamic psychotherapies, and dealing with addiction issues. Extensive experience in research on pedophiles and transgender individuals makes me comfortable with any issues of gender or sexuality. Being bilingual in English and Russian allows me to communicate with ease with the majority and second largest minority of residents in NYC.
In addition to my private practice I work as a psychiatric emergency room physician at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Medical Center. Being in the midst of acute psychiatric care, working in collaboration with the medical ER staff, training residents and students, keeps me on my toes and at the frontier of psychiatry.
Give it a try. I know we’ll get along just fine!

Dr. Turok is professional and awesome. I feel comfortable talking to her about the most intimate details of my life. She really cares about her patients and has the right balance of talking vs. listening. She really helps me work out my emotions and cope with stresses of life.

I'd highly recommend seeing Dr. Turok. She is not only extremely kind, she's honest in her practice and listens extremely carefully to what you are saying. I felt that she truly understood what I was experiencing and could identify a plan of how I could overcome those issues.

Phenomenal, warm, inviting, and insightful are the 3 words that resonate with me after my visit. She informed me that she wouldn't be able to see me for therapy, but psychiatry, and immediately sought to connect me with someone and encouraged me to call that same day. I appreciated her care and efficiency.

I've lived in New York for just over a year, and recently began seeing Dr. Turok for ongoing treatment of a condition I have been dealing with for many years. I was concerned about transitioning to a new doctor and how the evaluation would go, but Dr. Turok was very reassuring and quickly put me at ease. We decided to continue the course of treatment that has been effective for several years now, so I'm very satisfied. I'm looking forward to continuing treatment with her!

Dr. Turok is very personable and a great listener. Plus, her intake process is very quick and simple. She doesn't require you to jump through more hoops than necessary.

I could not recommend Dr. Turok more highly. She is clearly an excellent doctor but also an extremely nice person. This was my first time at this kind of appointment and although I was a little nervous beforehand, she instantly put me at ease. It was amazing how quickly she understood exactly how I was feeling and not only reassured me that this was completely "normal," but also that there were so many different ways to go about treating it. She really works with you to ensure that you are 100% comfortable with whichever option (even if no action) you choose. She puts absolutely zero pressure on you and explains everything so thrououghly that you feel comfortable making this decision (with her help and guidance). Considering it was my first time, I couldn't imagine a better experience, and will definitely be going back.

Dr. Turok is now my full time psych and I wouldn't have it any other way. She's the best, so friendly and works really hard to help you find what treatment is right for you!

I've been to a few different doctors in town, but Dr. Turok is by far the best doctor I've ever seen. She really takes the time to listen and shines new light on situations that you might not have had before. She doesn't judge, she's there to help and you can tell. Through all of my sessions, she was engaging and paid full attention to everything I said. This is a far cry from doctors I have seen in Manhattan who are simply there for the money. I would recommend her to anyone who is serious about getting help. She's amazing.

I've seen Dr. Turok twice. On both visits she spent a great amount of time with me and asked many questions. I felt well taken care of as to the medication she prescribed, as well to her professional approach to my problem. I could tell she absolutely loves her work. She was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly and therefore I would highly recommend her.

Dr. Turok is not only an attentive listener, but also facilitates engaging discussion in our session and offers insightful feedback to the questions and issues raised. I've been incredibly impressed by her depth of knowledge as well as her affable and professional manner.
