Meet Dr. Afzal
I am a double board certified adult and addiction Psychiatrist licensed in New York and New Jersey. I received my postgraduate training in Psychiatry from Nassau University Medical Center and Addiction Psychiatry from Icahn School of Medicine. I am a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Columbia University where I teach medical students and residents. I provide patient-centered, empathic, and individualized care. I believe that social and medical factors impact your quality of life and spend time discussing your relationships, work, nutrition, physical health and more. I primarily provide medication management and incorporate psychotherapy into the appointments. My goal is to evoke positive change from within you.
