Edward V. Nunes, MD

Upper West Side has its share of psychiatrists, but finding one who fits into the rhythm of the neighborhood can feel like searching for a quiet bench in Riverside Park. Edward V. Nunes, MD operates from 617 West End Ave, a building that blends into the tree-lined block between 94th and 95th Streets. The practice focuses on adult psychiatry, offering medication management, psychotherapy, and consultation for mood disorders, anxiety, and ADHD.

People often overlook how much the setting matters when choosing a psychiatrist. This stretch of West End Avenue carries a certain steadiness—pre-war buildings, corner delis, and the occasional dog walker passing by. The office itself doesn’t advertise, which might explain why it feels less like a medical stop and more like a local fixture. Appointments cover everything from initial evaluations to ongoing therapy, with a particular emphasis on evidence-based care.

If you’re considering reaching out, the number to call is (212) 579-0339. Directions can be found here, though the map won’t tell you how close the nearest subway stop is—just a short walk from the 1/2/3 at 96th Street. Sometimes the quietest options turn out to be the ones you keep coming back to.
