Ermal Bojdani, MD, is a physician, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, author, researcher, and teacher who trained at Harvard Medical School, Columbia University, and the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute. He is the CEO of Medical of Manhattan and founder of The Mental Health Optimization Collaborative, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing access to, equity, and quality of mental health services globally. Dr. Bojdani helps people through their toughest times in life and supports them in their journey of self-growth and personal achievement. He meets with each new patient to get to know them, to establish a diagnosis, and to build a treatment plan that is executed under his direction by our committed and compassionate team members. Once evaluated and stable, patients will have follow up appointments with one of our nurse practitioners and have treatment enhanced by social workers or psychologists on an as needed basis. Pro-bono monthly wellness events like virtual yoga and walks in Central Park are offered to all. We look forward to getting to know you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
First visits are always with the doctor and team members (NPs, social workers, psychologists) and we employ the team approach to treatment to best help you.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
After an initial evaluation visit with the doctor and team, the doctor decides working diagnoses and makes a treatment plan, which can include medication, therapy, or both. Team members perform the follow up appointments under guidance from the doctor, who may or may not be present for the follow up appointment.

Working with Dr. B has been great. From our very first session, and through weekly sessions, I felt genuinely seen, as a whole, not just snapshots. I recommend weekly sessions in the beginning, then keeping to at least twice a month, I've seen great progress on that schedule.
Dr. B has shared a lot of his knowledge, care, expertise, emotional intelligence, and deep compassion. Video calls and calls are also very convenient. A+++++, definitely recommend.

During my first consultation, I was informed about the business model of the practice, having a team of health care professionals lead by Dr. Bojdani. I was a little worried that my needs would get lost while dealing with the team. After several visits I understood how valuable having the depth of care provided by Dr. Bojdani and his team of professionals. Their wholistic approach encompassing mental, physical, pharmaceutical, and emotional health ensures that all my needs are met.

Great vibes from all the team members. The clinic offered their free virtual yoga event, and a free session with a personal trainer to add to my medication and therapy treatment plan for my overall health and I’m so impressed by this I think he knows what he’s doing.

I loved him and the team. I needed an appointment on short notice on Saturday and they were very accommodating . The new secretary was super friendly and helped clear my insurance in minutes . All the team members are very professional and respond timely to my request. additionally, I loved attending the free wellness event in central Park. I’m definitely coming back.

Dr. Ermal Bojdani is an amazing physician who has been incredibly helpful, compassionate, and intelligent. He worked through my situation with a non-judgmental and attentive approach, always maintaining a comforting demeanor. I appreciated how he took the time to explain everything in detail, discuss without rushing, showed genuine concern for my well-being.
Dr. Bojdani emphasizes healthy lifestyle improvements and only prescribes medication when truly necessary. His ability to explain the medical aspects thoroughly and in an understandable way is unparalleled. We had collaborative discussions where he ensured I fully understood my treatment plan and felt in control of my health.
Communication with Dr. Bojdani was convenient and flexible, whether by appointment or as needed. He is very accommodating and understanding. I highly recommend anyone struggling or in need of help to reach out to Dr. Bojdani, as he can have a significant and positive impact on their health and wellness.

I have had a positive experience at Medical of Manhattan. I see the providers as my coaches. They help guide me by working as a team. They offer Saturday appointments and someone is always available even if my main provider is out of office. Thank you for listening and caring!

Extremely accommodating and willing to listen! I felt very welcomed by Dr. Bojdani and his staff in that virtual office space and they were always keeping in mind my physical health and wellbeing when prescribing medication and further treatment. I would highly recommend his services.

I saw the doc and his team several times and I felt like I was heard. The attentiveness of the team let me know that I have a full arsenal of experience, knowledge and expertise helping and guiding me.
I decided I wanted to focus more on my therapy than medication and was glad the clinic has so many resources. They were able to refer me internally to the psychologist instead of me having to go through another doctor and more intake forms and headache trying to fine one.

July 12, 2024Adelina L.Verified patientVideo visit
I am so surprised myself to be writing this review, especially considering the overwhelming positive reviews on here, but this was my experience and I feel it is important to share. I was incredibly disappointed by my experience with Dr. Bodjal. In our initial consultation (over Zoom), he kept his camera off half the time while his NP ran the appointment. He gave limited feedback of his own, and after the initial appointment, I never saw him again (only his NP). I have zero issues with seeing NP's, but this one had no attention to detail and never remembered any details about my care every time we met. I did not feel listened to, and sensed a general lack of effort in my care (mostly just medications and required follow ups). If you are looking for someone who is going to approach your care with diligence and individual care, I do not recommend this doctor or his NP.

Was in the market for a new psych and I picked dr bojdani because he had immediate availability and his reviews were pretty good. I have to say he is a very nice man and takes time to explain things and why and how the best way for you to take medication. I am also fascinated by the fact he works in the ER and still has the bedside manner to see patients in private practice. Great doctor, and a nice person.
