Jose Antonio Amat, MD

Child psychiatry isn’t what it used to be. Where once it was a quiet corner of medicine, today it feels like every block has a specialist—and yet, the right one can still feel elusive. Jose Antonio Amat, MD offers a steady presence on Riverside Drive, a stretch of Upper Manhattan where the Hudson’s edge meets the rhythm of city life.

Families along the 1051 block know the building by its red-brick facade and the steady stream of parents stepping out with a little more clarity than when they went in. The practice sits near the intersection of 162nd Street, a neighborhood where bodegas and brownstones share the sidewalk with medical offices that have served the community for decades. Accessibility is built into the details: restrooms are on-site, a small but essential convenience when appointments stretch longer than expected.

Appointments are booked directly, no middleman needed. A call to (212) 543-5583 puts you through to the office, where the next available slot is just a conversation away. For directions, the map at this link will guide you past the Riverside Park promenade, where the river breeze lingers even on the busiest afternoons.
