Fifth Ave Psychiatry PLLC, David J. Kraus MD

Fifth Ave Psychiatry PLLC is one office above a familiar shoe shine. From adolescents to adults, David J. Kraus MD tailors his approach to panic control, addiction recovery, and couples therapy. Mood disorders and ADHD evaluations sit alongside trauma-focused assessments—treated with medication, CBT, and brief supportive sessions. Brief documentation is standard. Legal affidavits, disability paperwork, and other third-party forms are handled efficiently and kept confidential. Crisis stabilization is available by appointment when needed.

The office occupies Suite 1214 on the 12th floor of 156 Fifth Avenue. You’ll find the elevator bank tucked between a coat shop and an accounting firm. The quiet stretch above 20th Street lacks the Flatiron bustle below but stays within earshot of the 6-train.

Reach the office by dialing (917) 833-2246 for scheduling. Same-day openings occasionally appear; cancellations are released mid-morning on weekdays.

Find the building and check current entry protocols on the maps listing. Aim for the north side of the avenue on approach; the lobby faces 16th Street traffic instead of Fifth Avenue’s main drag.
