My life has changed in countless positive ways since I was evaluated and treated by Dr. Lievent 10 days ago. If I’m this much better already, I can only imagine how things can continue to progress. He is so knowledgeable about medication and mood disorder symptoms/issues. I trust him fully and completely.

I got diagnosed quickly!
Exactly what I needed. Thank you.

Verified patient
I am so grateful to have found Dr. Leivent! It was a relief to speak to a knowledgable professional who is willing to patiently explain things. During my appointment, he listened to my issues with care and empathy, and explained all the upsides and downsides of potential treatments. Dr. Leivent was very easy to speak with - I would describe his approach as efficient, friendly, and reasonable. I absolutely recommend him.
Very friendly. Doesn’t feel judgmental or cold. Was willing to listen to my ideas and concerns, and was reflected that when coming up with a treatment plan. Clearly communicated everything he talked about.
Verified patient
Dr. Levient was a total professional with a human touch. We made progress in my situation after the first session. He listens and has invaluable insight. Highly recommended.
Verified patient
Dr. Leivent took the time to answer all of my questions. He was patient with me and never made me feel rushed. He explained everything clearly. I will definitely see him again.
I have gone to him a few times now, he's clear about explaining everything and very helpful overall. Appointments are remote which makes scheduling a lot easier.
Verified patient
This doctor was of no help whatsoever. He first told me that he would prescribe me the necessary medications, but he never did.
Verified patient
First words were "lets get you feeling good" which was an immense relief and very reassuring. His thought process was thoroughly shared and explained.
Verified patient
Dr. Leivent is a trustworthy and reliable doctor, I previously saw him in person last year. However after many inconsistent specialists, I decided to schedule a video visit with him. He actively listens and has the expertise I was searching for, for my mental situation. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Verified patient
Been a patient of Dr. Leivent for about 6 months now and one of the things I like about him so much is his ability to listen and custom-tailor solutions for me. He's also very easy to talk to about certain substance abuse issues, anxiety, and depression.
Really friendly and professional approach. Great listener and likes to continually check in with his patients. A real gem in Brooklyn.
Super well informed and very kind. Takes the time to explain why he chooses certain treatment plans and how it will work best for you. Would highly recommend.
Verified patient
Absolutely brilliant doctor. He takes time to listen to your concerns and symptoms and comes up with a realistic game plan. I couldn't recommend him any more!
Dr. Leivent is a nonjudgmental psychiatrist and will work with your problems to the best of your and his abilities. I have dealt with others where I felt everything I did was recorded as an indictment. Seek out medical care from someone who will not demonize you.
The doctor was absolutely incredible through a video visit. He listened and empathized and really tried to understand and address the multiple issues. He had great insight and great solutions. It is a hefty price out of pocket but in the scheme of things it is completely worth it, because he’s helping me to get my life back. I’m not even joking.
Verified patient
My. Initial psychiatric assessment with Dr.. Leivent couldn't have gone better. He had a great way of communicating without jargon, was very present, and felt more like a conversation with an acquaintance, rather than a psych evaluation. Not once did I feel rushed, and I can tell that he genuinely cares for the well being of his patients, so much so that he gave out his cell number to contact in times of need and if I had any questions about my new treatment regime. I am grateful for having found him as a doctor, and would recommend him highly.
Verified patient
Dr. Jacob Leivent work is paramount! I’m grateful that I choose to stick with him and he his willing to work with me. He is extremely professional, understanding, and most of caring. I have recommended Dr. Leivent to my friends and family. I urge everyone to schedule with Dr. L ASAP.
Verified patient
Dr. Leivent was very responsive and prompt. It was such a relief to feel like I was listened to able to ask questions. Thank you!
Such a patient and understanding doctor. Listens and understands his patients where you don't feel that sense of judgment . What i love the most is his thoroughness and he actually takes the time to discuss why he thinks a medication will be beneficial as well as answers any questions you have. Great doctor would highly recommend.
Verified patient
Dr. Leivent made it quite apparent to me early on in our conversation that he truly cares and had a game plan for me to follow so that I can begin to get back to my life and what is important to me.
Dr. Leivent was excellent! We started our appt a few minutes early. He listened well. He understood my concerns and issues from a medical perspective as well as from just as a person. I went into my appt expecting to hear if I needed any type of meds/prescriptions; yet we finished the hour and I had a TREMENDOUS amount of clarity on top of necessary prescriptions. He is very professional, he knows his practice/the industry very well and he listens exceptionally. I can’t say enough about Dr.Leivent. That one hour has truly re-directed my life beyond just necessary prescriptions!
Dr Leivent is very knowledgeable and helped me with some major questions/concerns. He also provided practical solutions for me to implement. Thanks!
Dr. Jacob Leivent, MD was an excellent physician whom was timely, and very courteous, as well as caring and careful to make me the appointment run smoothly and efficiently as well as professionally very well. Knowledgable in medicine, and excellent in this regard, you feel comfortable with his knowledge base. Excellent doctor. Very good appointment that ran well.
Dr. Jacob Leivent is professional, relaxed, and empathetic. He takes the time to answer your questions thoroughly and is genuinely interested in understanding your symptoms and unique situation.
Wonderful psychiatrist
Professional and down to earth. I could tell he cared about me as a human and wanted to find the best solutions for my mental wellbeing.
Excellent doctor very thorough and compassionate. Called in my medication right away and even took the time on a Sunday to speak with me. So happy with his services
Dr Leivent was relatable, empathic and engaged during my virtual visit. He did an excellent job of explaining my symptoms and providing treatment options. Overall highly recommended.
I had a virtual meeting with Dr. Leivent to talk to him about a possible case of adult ADHD. I really felt like he was able to listen to me and help understand that I might be also experiencing generalized anxiety disorder. Dr. Leivent helped me form a plan to tackle these issues in a very professional manner. He also provided his direct cell number which I could reach out to him for questions and quick check-ins / follow-up. I feel very confidant that I am in good hands and wholeheartedly recommend him. I've already scheduled a follow-up appointment.
Wonderful doctor. Very intelligent, focused, caring. He worked with me to develop a plan for my mental health. I'm very thankful for him.
Jacob is a true professional and I've been around enough to know. Really focused on making sure he gets the full story but also focusing in on the issues at the order of magnitude - what is the most crucial and working the way down in a coordinate fashion that I very much appreciate. A great listener and also very knowledgeable about solutions, at least those that pertain to my situation, much more so than the previous psychiatrist i had seen for years.
Dr. Leivient took more time to help me understand issues I have been having and treatment. I am very thankful to have him has my new doctor. It many other places we are just a number.
I am both grateful and relieved to have found Dr. Leivent on ZocDoc! After having recently moved from FL to NYC, I was worried that establishing care with a new psychiatrist would be quite challenging (with wait times, fees, etc.). Dr. L eliminated all fears/challenges associated with establishing care with a new psychiatrist as he is very accommodating with fast response times, is considerate, and thorough. Whether it’s a pharmacy or personal issue, he’s very quick to respond via text and is always eager to help. Dr. L is a fabulous, highly competent psychiatrist who I’d happily recommend to family & friends.
Dr. Leivent, quite simply, solved my problems in one single visit, and I would say, saved me from a crippling despair. Since meeting with him a week ago (in what I would consider my absolute rock bottom), I have been able to attain level of functionality and focus that I had never known before. He was non judgmental, 100% attentive, and perhaps most importantly, compassionate while at the same time being extremely practical; focusing on solving the issue at hand. It was a truly balanced approach, handled with incredible grace and professionalism while being human. His diagnosis was well considered, and he explained his thoughts of a course of treatment, while checking in to with me consistently to see if I agreed with him, and that we were on the same page. The bottom line is, I truly felt that he cared about my case. And now, a week out from my session with him, my life has changed exponentially for the better. I feel in control, and full of hope for my future. Many of the road blocks leading to my seeking help have already been addressed due to that session with Dr Leivent. I feel that I have accomplished so much that I simply could not do had I not sat across from him that day. There was nothing cold or clinical about this visit. He was very, very humanist in his approach. If you are struggling, and feel perhaps that there is no hope, please see this Dr. He WILL be able to help you, both with his insight, and treatment. There is a reason that his ratings on ZocDoc are as high as they are. Good luck to you all out there.
Doctor Leivent is a caring, intelligent, and solutions oriented healthcare provider. I recommend him to anyone seeking to improve their life.
My first visit was excellent. I felt very comfortable right away with him and he was very professional, honest, and straightforward with me. Highly recommended.
I've never gone to a Doctor who doesn't take insurance, and truthfully, I initially went to Dr Leivent assuming I'd stop seeing him as soon as I managed to find an in-network Doctor with an equally flexible schedule. But after my first appointment, I honestly can't imagine seeing any other Psychiatrist. Dr. Leivent is a pretty astonishingly skilled clinician. Beyond all the usual things that make a good Doctor (beside manner, wait times, etc.), he's great in ways I didn't even know I wanted out of a doctor. For instance, he's so deeply knowledgable about his field, I've occasionally brought up esoteric research papers or experimental treatments, and not only is he always deeply familiar with whatever it is I bring up, he can even walk me through the pros/cons, and applicability to my treatment. If I wanted to complain about Dr. Leivent, I literally would not be able to find a reason to. To the most minuscule detail, there's nothing to complain about. He's available over text message, skype, etc.; he's flexible with scheduling and pricing; he's tech savvy and accepts almost any payment method. I couldn't recommend him more, even for those (like me) who wouldn't usually see a clinician who doesn't take insurance.
