Alejandro Ramirez-Vallejo, MD PhD

Upper East Side psychiatry often feels like a maze of initials and credentials. Alejandro Ramirez-Vallejo, MD PhD simplifies the search by combining clinical precision with academic depth. His practice covers mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD evaluations, and psychopharmacology consultations—each session grounded in both research and direct patient experience. The office operates from a quiet pre-war co-op on the corner of Lexington and 80th.

Psychiatry in this part of Manhattan tends to skew toward either institutional rigidity or boutique informality. Here, the approach leans toward the former without sacrificing accessibility. Medication management, diagnostic clarity, and long-term treatment planning are handled with the kind of detail you’d expect from someone who also teaches at a medical school. Patients who value evidence-based care over trendy interventions often find the conversations refreshingly direct.

Those who prefer a psychiatrist who can parse the latest clinical trials as easily as they discuss daily stressors will appreciate the dual perspective. The practice does not offer therapy sessions, but referrals to trusted colleagues are part of the process when needed. 111 E 80th St # 1D, New York, NY 10075 is the address—just steps from the 4/5/6 subway and a handful of neighborhood pharmacies that stay open late.

Appointments are scheduled by phone; call to confirm availability and insurance participation. Directions and building entry details can be found on the map. The Upper East Side’s grid makes navigation straightforward, though weekend construction on Second Avenue sometimes reroutes foot traffic. A quick check before heading out saves time.
