Professional statement

Dr. Natan Schleider, M.D., in private practice since 2005 is the founder of New York Psychiatry and General Practice Physicians -- allso doing business as DOCTOR IN THE FAMILY.

Dr. Schleider's goal is providing simple, hassle free mental & medical care with no hidden fees.

Dr. Schleider's patients are mostly aged 20s to 50s, educated and high functioning, and looking for personal boutique medical care. His patients like the idea that they get their Lexapro, Lipitor, and Lorazepam in one stop instead of seeing a bunch of different doctors...

Most therapy and treatment is based on medicine management aka psychopharmacology. For those patient who don't want conventional pharmaceuticals, alternative treatment options from herbal remedies to medical marijuana are options.

Despite practicing remotely most of the time, Dr. Schleider's Manhattan office off Park Avenue at East 35th Street is open 6 days a week.


Message to clients

'To doctor' means to teach and while I am always learning from patients, books, and life, here are some common points I reiterate to my patients:

First of all, you, the patient, are the customer. 'The customer is always right' is an expression often used in business but holds true for medicine. For example, if your pharmacy is always messing up your prescriptions, find a new pharmacy to give your business to.

Second: Doctor's don't know everything, not even close. My mentor says '95% of patients get better DESPITE what the doctor does.' While I practice 75 percent psychopharmacology (medicine management for mental health issues), I have no agenda to medicate you. I don't own stock in pharma companies. I don't get wined and dined by pharmaceutical reps. You are not married to a mental health medicine for life. Unlike visiting a tattoo parlor, decisions we make are not permanent.

Third and finally a note on fees and billing: PLEASE note the insurance plans I accept and contact my office to inquire about any cost sharing fees like co-pays, co-insurances, & deductibles.
