Getting to know Dr. Burhan Riaz

Initial session: $299 for 60 minutes. Ongoing session: $249 for 30 minutes. I accept AETNA Insurance. I'm pre-dominantly a private pay or out-of-network psychiatrist. This means you and I can spend more time focused on you and not within the restraints of insurance! Medicaid, Medicare, or any of its associated plans are NOT accepted. I'm an integrative psychiatrist dedicated to treating you as a whole person—mind, body, and soul. My approach blends holistic methods, like nutritional supplementation and mind-body practices, with traditional psychiatric treatments such as medication and counseling. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges like anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, and PTSD/trauma. My goal is to be more than just someone who prescribes medication—it's to build a lasting, trusted partnership with you, supporting your journey toward a happy and fulfilling life. I take a holistic approach to mental health, combining prescription medications and counseling with integrative methods like functional nutrition, and healthy lifestyle habits! I received my B.S. in Molecular Biology and my B.A in Anthropology from the University of Central Florida, my M.D. from St. George's University, and, and Residency Training in Psychiatry from Richmond University Medical Center, where I served as Chief Resident. I now enjoy working primarily with people in outpatient settings! In my free time I enjoy travelling, comedy, photography (including astrophotography and drone photography), and hiking!

    Dr Riaz was very easy to talk to and let you know about himself too to ease you in. Explains everything very well and very clearly so I knew what was going on. He was even able to keep up easily with my scatter brained approach to a conversation. Very knowledge and relatable in the things we talked about. He has a friendly and accepting manner which makes it easy to talk.

    First, I would highly recommend Zocdoc to a friend as it is a great way to see a doctor without spending a lot of time in traffic and away from your office. Also, there are evening appointments available. Dr. Burhan Riaz has been wonderful. He is a great communicator and I felt very comfortable sharing personal things with him. It is nice to have someone who cares how I am doing as I am a single mom of four and running a business. I don't have much time for self care and it really helps me knowing I have someone to talk to confidentially.

    Hi! My experience was wonderful. As I am not super tech savy, Dr. Burhan Riaz's office was super helpful. He was very easy to talk to and very interested and thorough in getting to know me as a person. I felt very much at ease discussing personal events with him and feel like I landed in the right place after my previous doctor retired and the other's office disbanded. I would definitely recommend Dr. Riaz and Zod Doc to a friend.

    Finding the right fit for psychiatric care can be difficult and requires so many nuanced elements to be aligned that sometimes you have to settle for certain areas to be lacking when you find a Doctor that you can tell is truly dedicated to your best possible care. Not so with Dr. Riaz. From his easy and affable demeanor to his truly adept and insightful approach to helping you identify sometimes oblique correlations to your particular distress he is really the total package. Elevated care doesn't just start and stop with each appointment he and his front of house team are so quick to respond when any of the myriad issues that come up in between appointments occur that it truly feels like they are always in your corner and that continuing care is an ongoing conversation rather than the usual austere monthly recap revolving door of many NYC caregivers. 10/10 just a fantastic doctor & team.
    Dr. Riaz showed exceptional skill for making me feel completely at ease, in a setting that is unfamiliar and very daunting. He made it easy for me to discuss my mental health journey and he has excellent beside manor, prompting me to share my background, stressors, symptoms, and personal life in an organic way. I will definitely be returning to see him.
    I’ve seen Dr. Riaz twice now and have enjoyed each visit. He is genuinely interested in helping with my condition and offers good advice. Highly recommend working with Dr. RIAZ.
    He really took the time to listen and understand what I was going through. I felt like he genuinely cared about helping me. I highly recommend Dr. Riaz!
    He is such a great doctor. He is very kind.
