Doctor was very knowledgable, got to know me before prescribing meds, didn't rush me.
Easy to talk to. Seems like a genuine person not just doctor. Would see again

I had to wait 2 hours to see the doctor. It was ridiculous.
Stiff necked, unpleasant man. I would never recommend him.

I have seen other providers before. This was the first provider who wanted to diagnose me immediately and prescribe a medication within 18 mins of meeting me on a screen. I too, work in a similar field so I know this is not ordinary. I was also told there is no difference between certain disorders (that I will not mention here). Which simply is not true or up to date information. The dr was kind enough, however, I think he should get current with continuing education courses to stay relevant. You can’t prescribe medicine to someone who may present with symptoms that may actually be because of complex trauma. More time and care needs to be put into the session, especially in an initial visit. If you’re looking for med prescription, then this is your guy, for sure.

Dr. Vukasin was amazing! For my first psychiatric evaluation, I was a little nervous but he was so kind, thorough and enjoyable with his approach, I was very pleased! He answered all my questions and definitely eased any concerns I had and seems to really care about his patients.

An hour long session went by fairly quickly. He didn't seem to be in a rush unlike most people I've encountered in the psychiatry dept. He listened and I felt heard. I'm hoping it continues to go well in the future. He seemed knowledgeable and open minded.

I had a horrible appointment with this doctor. He was insensitive, flip, didn’t listen, and switched non-sensically between personal questions and strange puzzles and mind tests. After I refused to try to repeat back a lengthy story, he told me “don’t worry, even people with very high professions have trouble with that memory test”. He also questioned my reasons for going to therapy. The whole thing was bizarre and very unpleasant.

While seemingly very knowledgeable I did not seem to connect with the Dr. I didn't feel the explanations were too my liking and that he was picking up on things I was trying to explain. I would not go see him again.

Dr Vukasin is excellent. I had seen Dr Vulkasin many years ago, but he wasn't taking my insurance. He continues to be great listener and has genuine concern on addressing your mental health.

Was pretty unprofessional as he kept telling stories not relevant to me, interrupting often, and frequently stating “thank God you’re not just another suicidal patient looking for adderall.”

The doctor was extremely thorough and asked all the important questions! He spent an HOUR with me on a video call! No one’s ever spent that much time with me at an appointment. He had an wonderful personality and I felt like I wasn’t rushed at all. I would highly recommend him!

Emphatic, great listener, fully engaged.

Very welcoming and made me feel comfortable sharing what I am experiencing. He listened and gave me great insight on what I am going through and how he can help me. I feel confident that his diagnoses and suggested treatment is accurate and appropriate. Thank you!

Good guy. Right to the point.
Very nice
He always overbooks his appointments, and then he makes you wait 2+ hours.. just to get a prescription refill! I left my doctor in Manhattan just because this doctor is near my house, and it was a waste of time. All I ever need is a prescription refill. If you call in for your prescription, he gives you a few days worth of medicine and sends you to a pharmacy all the way out in Jamaica just to get it. I would never recommend this doctor to anyone.
so smart and kind
Dr. Vukasin is caring, professional and curteous. He cares about his patients. Spent more time with me than any other psychiatrists, accurate and excellent
He just hurried me through as if he was seeing me for free, saying that there were too many people waiting. You need to stop booking people like crazy just to make money.
The wait time was extremely long and I had to ask for the papers to fill out after I had already been siting for 20 minutes. I believe it was just a terrible front desk staff, when I finally got to the waiting room for the doctor I was there for about 10 minutes max and he had no idea that I was even downstairs. The doctor himself listened to what I had to say which was a very nice change of pace.
This doctor is thorough. He made sure I was up to date with all my tests so the medications would work properly. I highly recommend this doctor.
I found him to be very professional. He made me feel at ease as soon as we entered his office. He was very easy to talk to and I found him to be encouraging.
He was a cool guy and definitely knew his stuff. The problem was the wait time. There wasn't even enough chairs for the people to see him and he was overbooked just like what an other reviewer mentioned.
Wonderful doctor understanding and devoted
I had a positive experience with my visit here. The office setup is a bit confusing but Dr. Vukasin was very professional. I came into the office with a specific issue and I feel my needs were fully addressed.
