Samuel Basch, MD

The success of treatment has a great deal to do with the relationship between the patient and therapist. A personalized plan must stem from an understanding of the experience and preferences of a patient, and be developed collaboratively. Below is some information about my practice: • An initial consultation is usually completed in one or two sessions. We discuss the history of your symptoms or concerns (both psychiatric and medical), any past experiences with care, and your perspective on treatment. This information serves as the basis for a diagnosis and plan for treatment. • My treatment approach includes psychotherapy, psychopharmacology and psychoanalytic techniques. I generally find that medications are most successful when combined with talk therapy. • My sessions are 45 minutes, although double sessions are possible. • Sessions can be for an individual, couples or families.

Dr. Bausch is by far the best doctor I have ever found in NYC. I’m looking forward to working with him more in the future.

Dr. Basch was professional and understanding. A good listener.

June 16, 2020Jennifer F.Verified patient

This individual is highly recommended for a psych evaluation. If anyone needs an approval to know that you're stable and sane, He's the one who can get the job done.

May 23, 2025Kurtis A.Verified patient

My review would be higher had he actually responded with the information he promised after my appointment. Once he got my credit card info I never heard another word. Seems like another old doctor looking for an easy paycheck on his way out. If you want real help I’d look elsewhere.

June 16, 2024Logan J.Verified patient

My experience with Dr. Basch was excellent.

June 12, 2024Anthony V.Verified patient

Great Dr.Honestly he actually asked me questions about my life and what is going on in my life.I was very pleased with him.I recommend him to anyone that wants a good Dr.

March 7, 2024Savannah S.Verified patient

He listened to my entire story, helped me work through short and long term options, and we ended up agreeing on a good plan that has already helped relieve the symptoms.

January 27, 2024Michael C.Verified patient

Great listener and wise!

January 18, 2024Ann F.Verified patient

Genuinely a great session! Felt totally relaxed in a situation I was highly apprehensive about! Outstanding conversation, probing questions, and advice. Looking forward to the next session! Maybe finally I have found the type of doctor that really does listen, empathizes, and understands where you are coming from! Nothing but positives so far!!!

June 29, 2023Susan G.Verified patient

Dr Baush was the kindest easiest caring Dr I have ever had the pleasure of speaking with. Makes you feel so comfortable. Takes his time with you. If your in need of a good psychiatrist who really listens give him a call you won’t be disabled. 5 stars! If I could give more I would!

January 11, 2023Mary Ann P.Verified patient

I would highly recommend this provider.

October 20, 2022Marianna V.Verified patient

Great Doctor.

June 11, 2022Rachel P.Verified patient

He is very nice and clearly well educated. He took time to listen, trying to understand the root causes of the issues I was seeing him for. I think he is the first doctor who took the time to listen.

March 9, 2022Wesley K.Verified patient

Very professional. He really seemed to listen/care about what was going on. He also gave me praise for some accomplishment s that I have made. My only complaint was he didn’t call in what he said he was going to and now he want answer my messages or my phone calls. Other than that he seems like a great doctor. I really hate he doesn’t accept my insurance bc a visit is $300 and that’s pricey

January 12, 2022Kimberly B.Verified patient

Dr. Basch helped me tremendously during a really rough time. From the beginning of the call I could that he genuinely cared about me. After listening to me speak over the hour allotted, he asked some questions about about my well being. Dr. Basch then proceed to answer my questions and provide me with next steps. Again, meeting with Dr. Basch was the best decision! I look forward to our next conversation!

May 4, 2021Noah O.Verified patient

Words fall short when describing Dr. Basch he has been a lifesaver do not know where I would be today without his guidance and assistance truly a blessing

May 3, 2021Ian M.Verified patient

After my first visit I changed my primary to Dr. Basch . he is an expert in all fields. and truly cares about everyone who he deals with and their family. A life changer for myself and my family Thank you dr Basch

March 15, 2021Ian M.Verified patient

I was very nervous, of course! (I have immense anxiety) Dr Basch was very professional , bit gruff but, that was just to get down to business and make most efficient use of our first appointment time together. I found that I was very safe quite quickly, knowing I was in the hands of someone that knew what they were doing. I don’t need a “Coddler” with kid gloves. OR Someone with little or no experience trying to pretend they know more than me about me, without even a thorough evaluation first. You want to feel better after session is over than before, of course. But not from getting your hand held. Preferably from learning something new “in session” & moving forward, if even in the slightest... That’s my take on Dr. Basch!

March 13, 2021Laurie F.Verified patient

I have been seeing psychiatrists and mental health providers for a majority of my adult and adolescent life. Over the past 10 years, since around 2011, I noticed that it was become increasingly difficult to find a mental health professional that I truly felt a medical doctor has an actual interest in assisting me with my treatment, and truly cared about my well-being and mental health. During my appointment with Dr. Samuel Basch, I truly felt that he was a medical doctor who truly cared abut my physical and mental well-being, and seem to possess an actual interest in assisting me with my treatment. I highly recommend this doctor.

I think Dr. Basch was sent to me by God. He is a wonderful man and doctor. I got very lucky to find him and I want to be his patient for a long time. I wish him and his family a Happy and Healthy new year. My name is CHRISTOS ANTONIADES. I love the guy. Awesome and extremely kind.

December 30, 2020Christos A.Verified patient

Client For Life !!! He is a Expert in all medical conditions. I do not subscribe to coincidence . Since my last visit I’ve put on 10 pounds I have not been able to gain weight for 20 years 20 ... I have been to so many other doctors Mr. Basch makes them all look incompetent in retrospect. Insomnia from acute PTSD is nearly nonexistent after one visit .Thank you so very much . Looking forward to seeing you next month.he is polite and will definitely make you laugh! Excellent Doctor highly recommended

Very understanding and worked with me. I couldn’t ask for a more understanding person. He is a caring person and that is hard to find in a doctor.

December 22, 2020Konstance U.Verified patient

This man just has an amazing gift of hearing the pain in your voice and knowing what can help you. He suggests so many things that we could change and in return would see change! He has a sense of humor which I love and the best part he isn’t meaning to be funny. He just is and it makes you step back and say like damn..... I love how he opens my eyes, makes me smiles, but that I can also cry like a baby and he will just hear me. Just to be heard sometimes is a girls best friend ?????????

December 22, 2020Konstance U.Verified patient

DR .Basch,is how more psychiatrist need to be. 15min med check is not enough time to check your patients well being. Dr. Batch is personable,caring and has a sense of humor.

What an Amazing Doctor. Dr. Basch truly cares about his patients and I've never been treated with so much understanding and he makes me feel so heard. I have a rare disease and very much anxiety, PTSD, and severe panic attacks from what i go through every day. and his incredible ability to select what will work for me is unmatched. I extremely recommend this caring Doctor, especially for people that suffer from uncurable chronic illnesses that have GAD and panic attacks. Dr. Samuel Basch is is such a breath of fresh air. This Doctor has done more for me in 30min than all the other Dr's I have had. This Doctor really has helped me out and I have such a new outlook on life. I have wasted many years being a loner and distancing myself from socializing and the public, I just wish I had met this incredible Doctor sooner. I have incredible hope now, after my visit with Dr. Basch, i can get and keep a job and make the rest of my life as fulfilling as i can, with amazing thanks to Dr. Basch and all his wonderful help. I cannot thank you enough Dr. God bless you.

I think he addressed everything that I was really bothing me, I just wanted to dacknowledge the ADHD /Add which he said the medication I was asking for was very addictive but I have no addiction in my family nor have I ever missused a substance. My goal is to have him put me on what I know what works for me,. Bc I have success with it.

October 15, 2020Konstance U.Verified patient

I feel that Dr Basch treats his patients with respect. He is sincere and does care about your problems. And willing to listen.Not just stare at a screen. I'm glad I found him. He is one in a million.

September 9, 2020Christine H.Verified patient

Just a good guy that listened!

September 3, 2020Joshua D.Verified patient

Very polite, friendly and professional. With other doctors these appointments typically feel about as personal as ordering fast food at a drive thru but Dr. Basch was a pleasure to converse with.
