NP Ryan listened carefully and informed me about multiple medication options and other approaches, and I will definitely be booking follow-ups with him. The video appointment process was easy and great - like a FaceTime call.

Ryan's promptness and communication style is just wonderful. I appreciate updates about being even 2 minutes late, and I felt that he truly listened with great compassion and offered several options for treatments.

I always look forward to speaking with Ryan, who is able to look at my circumstances in an incredibly thoughtful and practical manner. He looks beyond the core reasons that drove the initial consultation to provide holistic care which always leaves me feeling positive and empowered.

I was in a pinch during the pandemic lockdown because I couldn't get to my former provider's office, and I needed to talk to someone about refilling or potentially changing my medication. Ryan was very prompt and came to the rescue, starting with a thorough evaluation via video. He was attentive to my concerns during that session and explained his recommendations well. He was also responsive later on when I texted a follow-up question. What a relief to have found an accessible, responsive provider at a time like this. I highly recommend.
Verified patient
Really really pleased with seeing Ryan. He listened to all of my concerns and hesitations and really gave me the feeling of a committed and a personalized treatment plan.

Dr. Rifkin was incredibly attentive to my needs and not only helped me on my medical journey but also helped me to think about psychiatry in an enlightened way.
Avoid this practitioner at all costs. I have chronic insomnia due to a ton of high-stress events in my life. My body thinks an empty bank account, back to back pitch meetings and over scheduling is on the same level as an impending bear attack in a primordial forest. At night my brain goes into over drive to solve complicated problems that will never be resolved in a days time. Although I thought after our first session Ryan was a thorough listener, he is not. Instead of listening to me and knowing I had experience with medication that has worked in the past. He prescribed a pill that knocked me out till 6pm and caused me to miss an important day in my life. After I stopped taking the pills, I muddled through for a few more days. Reaching Ryan is really hard. His preferred form of communication is a platform called Kareo, although HIPPA compliant ( which he reminded me of constantly ) it is not mobile compliment, nor sends you a message when an email arrives. So the need to constantly refresh my inbox to communicate became quickly cumbersome. I very vocally addressed my concern. Ryan tried to push me into a 9am appointment, I pushed back. I have insomnia, I don’t understand why a practitioner would push a patient with insomnia into an early morning time slot. A 12:30 appointment was clearly available on ZocDoc, I booked it. Ryan’s response was to scold me. In our second session, he used the session to talk about an end date and termination from his practice. I felt utterly aghast and betrayed that I looked to this provider for help. I did not feel comfortable trying new classes of medication when he took my concerns so lightly and I know what medication works for me. If you have insomnia, depression, anxiety, or in any way deal with rejection issues, I would stay far away from this practitioner.
Ryan was thorough, warm and detail oriented. He asked me thoughtful and insightful questions about my symptoms. I m looking forward to going back!
Ryan Rifkin was really great! I saw him at another practice and am following him to his new location. He is really thorough in his explanation of medication options and supported me in making my own decisions about what treatment was best suited for my needs. He goes above and beyond to fill out documents I’ve needed and to communicate with me through his patient portal. I am really glad to have met him...thank you!
As someone who was very apprehensive about seeking help. Ryan has been a godsend. He is both understanding and caring. He listens and I never feel judged. He really works with me, especially when it comes to medication management. Any concerns that I bring to him about things like medication are addressed immediately. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Very friendly, thorough, and professional. He took the time to get to know me, to explain everything in detail, answer all of my questions, and explore options together. He is very respectful of my time and responds promptly. I have been seeing Ryan Rifkin for over a year, and would highly recommend him.
I've been seeing Ryan for almost a year now, and he has been such an amazing help. He is friendly, easy to talk to, and straight-forward. He has worked with me patiently to help find a good balance in terms of medication (plus therapy), and I always feel heard and considered during our appointments. Finding a good mental provider in NYC is near impossible, so finding Ryan has been such a blessing! I would highly recommend him to any of my family or friends.
My family and I have had a great experience with Ryan as our psychiatric provider. He is knowledgeable and caring, and in each interaction he explained treatment options with pros and cons so I could make informed choices. His approach with me inspired me to bring my elementary-age daughter to him as well, and he has been attentive and responsive in refining her care not only with medication advice but also in recommending appropriate therapy. His support has been essential for our family to address anxiety and trauma in a thoughtful and healthy way. I have since referred more than one family friend to him as well. In our experience, Ryan sticks to his schedule and sees patients on time. That makes a big difference in our busy lives.
