Getting to know Dr. Milos Starovic

I created this practice to meet the need for a unique and personalized yet scientific, evidence-based, and sophisticated pharmacological treatment, with attention to detail and enough time for human-to-human contact to happen and for the therapeutic process to unfold. I earned my Doctor of Medicine from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Medicine, completed my Psychiatry residency at Maimonides Medical Center, and pursued fellowships in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis at New York University, as well as in Electroconvulsive Therapy at Columbia University. **This practice is OUT OF NETWORK and does not participate with any major insurance carriers.** We will provide all required receipts and codes in the form of a "superbill" that you might need to be reimbursed according to your health plan's out-of-network benefits.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Each appointment combines scientific and evidence-based pharmacological management together with a psychotherapeutic process. My goal is to properly assess the situation, provide diagnostic and therapeutic recommendations and empower you by guiding you through your options and helping you make the best possible decision for yourself. My therapy style is warm and welcoming, combining the principles of psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and interpersonal therapy. **the practice is not in network with any commercial health insurance carrier; you will be billed directly for each service** We will provide all required receipts and codes in the form of a "superbill" that you might need to be reimbursed as per your health plan out-of-network benefits.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first appointment can be very anxiety-provoking. My first task is to ease this tension, make you completely comfortable, and facilitate constructive communication. Our discussion might appear casual, but it is actually quite structured and probing for a variety of signs and symptoms that will help us establish a correct diagnosis. I will be interested in all the details of your current problem but also expand the conversatio and ensure that includes your background, medical history, and all other important aspects of existence. This will help me understand in the best possible way who you are, what is happening in your life and in what context your symptoms tend to occur. Life is rarely black or white so we will be discussing the diagnostic impression together and strategizie what would be the best course of action moving forward. It is important for me to hear all of your concerns and respond accordingly. There are many roads to Rome so I will be identifying multiple treatment modalities all of which should be in line with good medical practice. Then we will make choices and adjustments according to your personal needs and preference. I will address all of your questions and concerns making sure that by the end of our appointment you are heard, understood, and with a clear understanding of what lies ahead.

    I just had my first session with Milos, and I couldn’t be more impressed. He made me feel comfortable right away, listened attentively, and asked thoughtful questions that helped me see things from a new perspective. I left the session feeling hopeful and understood. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey with his guidance!

    Great doctor, knows what he is doing
    I am a big fan of Dr Starovic. From the moment you step into their office, you feel understood and supported. His insights have been incredibly helpful in guiding me through my challenges and he was toe one who figured out the medication combo that consistently works well for me.
    Amazing doctor. Milos is kind and compassionate and really listens and takes the time to make you feel comfortable. 10/10. Not surprised to see so many off the charts reviews.

    As always the doctor instantly made me comfortable, he was able to listen without interrupting and to address my concerns without rushing through the appointment. It is also great to be able to see someone in person.
    Amazing doctor. He understood my issues right away, took the time to explain why I’ve been feeling the way I have, gave me practical insight and resources, and set me up with prescriptions that already have me feeling better. Overall a great experience and I’m already looking forward to my next appointment with the doctor.

    Personable and non judgmental doctor, very easy to talk to. I decided not to proceed with medication treatment at this point but after so much fear and hesitation this appointment turned out to be quite pleasant, easy, useful, reassuring and informative experience.

    I am seeing this doctor on and off for about 3 years now. He is the one (out of many) who seems to care, also the one (out if many) who was able to actually help me with my chronic depression.

    My appointment with doctor Starovic was one of the best doctor’s appointments I’ve ever had. He was friendly, intuitive and compassionate. He knew everything there was to know about my specific condition and was an invaluable advisor in helping me find a path forward. He was prompt and professional. Overall a fantastic experience and I will definitely be going back.

    Extremely professional and friendly. Milosh is the best. From the first session, he made me very comfortable to open up. I struggled to ask for help for a long time, even though I was aware that I needed professional help. He is a great listener and he has great advice for everything. He is not just a doctor that will stay there, not saying anything and just prescribing pills. Differently, I will recommend Milosh to anyone who needs help and struggling. The most important part for me was that he is an LGBTQ ally and lot of experience with people from different countries and races.

    Really happy with my decision to pursue therapy with Dr. Starovic. He's truly one of the best mental health professionals I've ever seen, and I'm hopeful that I will continue to make significant personal strides through our appointments together.
    Verified patientVideo visit
    After going through many , finally found a doc that knows what he’s doing beyond just writing prescriptions. Most importantly understands how other non mental health related health aspects may be impacting mental health. Hope to be able to see him long term.
    Video visit
    Dr. Starovic is one of the most capable mental healthcare providers I've seen in quite some time. There was an innate warmth to him right from the start, which isn't an easy feat in the age of telehealth. He really understands the combination of medication-based care with talk-based therapy, which is refreshing considering the amount of physicians I've seen that focus solely on one without the other. I'm really thankful I've found him and excited for the continued progression I hope to achieve with him.

    First appointment was calming and therapeutic. Very thoughtful and thorough approach. I felt nervous about how we'd even begin but was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to open up.

    I really enjoyed talking with Dr. Starovic. Not only is he very polite and reflective, but he also has the rare gift (among psychiatrists!) of being a good listener!
    Excellent care , highly recommend it !
    My treatment continues. I continue to make strides w my anxiety. I feel like I’m almost at 100% thanks to this amazingly empathetic and patient doctor.
    Great bedside manner and very flexible with appointment times. He's also easy to reach via email if you have questions or need a refill on you meds.
    Very personable. Nice guy, easy to talk to.
    Patient and professional . First time I walked in to this office I used to think I will never be better again. Today we agreed that the next follow up can be in 2 months as I am doing well and my meds are all set. Highly recommend.
    My experience with Dr. Starovic was incredible,I was recived right away,he is an amazing doctor,very professional.The place has very positive energy. It gives you a will to fight and resolve all your problems. I would highly recommend a Dr. Milos Starovic! The best!!!!!
    Doctor is always punctual. He has wonderful bedside manner. He listens to all your concerns. My treatment is going well 6 weeks in. Highly recommended.
    Excellent doctor . Highly recommend it.
    Once again, a great visit. Dr Milos wanted to see me to see how my treatment was going. His plan really seems to be working. Very patient and informative. I highly recommend.
    Doctor is professional yet easy going. It was seamless to use text messaging in order to to confirm the appointment. I came for a follow up and doctor appeared really content that I am getting better. He discussed few further treatment options and asked me which one one would I prefer as a second step. I feel like I am in control. I am not pushed neither told what to do. I can decide what I want. Just along the way there is someone very smart helping me decide and explaining why certain options could be bad or very good for me . I like it and I am sure to come back every time I am in the area.
    Professional, courteous and simply - excellent!
    He is attentive and respectful that I don't want to be shoved down a bunch of meds. Will start treatment with him and see how it goes!
    I needed an appointment on a short notice. This doctor acomodated me immediately. It was a pleasant experience and I got the medication I neded. I am visoting NY but if I ever come back I know where to go. Thank you
    I have been in treatment with this psychiatrist on and off for a couple years now. He has always worked with me to schedule time to meet with my busy schedule and overall has been a great guide for me during hard times.
    The doctor was very attentive and focused on issues that I wanted to discuss. Was able to help me finally simply my medication regimen and find a medication that works well.
    Loved this doctor, he took the time to listen to my issues and help offer some real solutions rather than just prescribing more medications.
