Ewa Kozikowska, MD

Dr. Kozikowska is very professional and responsive. She makes herself available for patients even when she is booked and either comes to the phone or returns calls immediately. This is very comforting. Teddy is wonderful as well. It also helps tremendously that she takes my insurance. I highly recommend Dr. Kozikowska.

I have been a patient of Dr Kozikowska for about a year + as half… at the ripe old age of 64 I was struck down by Panic Disorder and Clinical Depression literally almost overnight .+ for the first time in my life… Dr K was recommended to me by a patient of hers and it literally saved my life… she is extremely thorough, really listens and is always concerned to work with you regarding various medications/treatments…Although I have not met her right hand Teddy in person, I have spoken to him many times on the phone re appointments and he is just the best… the fact that Dr K even takes insurance is a rarity in NYC… and even without insurance her charges are very very reasonable compared to other specialists in the city… I am extremely grateful and fortunate to have found Dr. K to help me.

Now that she no longer takes my insurance (united healthcare/​oxford) and I had to find alternatives, I miss her very much. Her somewhat cool demeanor is actually very caring compared to many others in this area that take insurance. She remembers who you are, what’s going on in your life etc. if you need to reschedule appointments, come in later or make some adjustments the office works with you and is more or less understanding even though it’s clearly a pain for them. Also, after switching I looked over my statements and noticed that she charges insurance half (!) of what this other popular guy in the area does for appointments. So although with insurance you only pay copay, think it’s good to know.
What I don’t miss, is paying everything in cash.

Very nice doctor! Very professional. Really cares about her patients. If you want quality care, I highly recommend her.

Most doctors who are specialists don’t even accept insurance at all. They do, but new patients need to inquire with their insurance if she is in-​network or out of network and how they’ll have to file your claims. I don’t think this is a big deal at all. Good luck, EP, finding a psychiatrist who accepts your insurance and doesn’t ask you those book keeping questions!

I have been going to Dr. Ewa since 2011 for Generalized Anxiety which is completely controlled now. She and the office manager Teddy are great. They are always accomodating, and Dr. Ewa is very kind and professional. Teddy is so friendly and always has a smile on his face. It definitely has a impact on the overall experience. I have had nightmares with other doctors and am so happy to have them. Recently, she stopped accepting my insurance (Blue Cross Blue Shield) but I am so happy with her that I am still going to visit her. I’ve recommended her to others.

Dr. Kozikowska has a terrific bedside manner, is very responsive, kind and professional. There are so many crappy psychiatrists in the city, she is one of a kind.
Not to mention her receptionist, Teddy, is an absolute delight to work with for appointments, etc.

I went in knowing I was bipolar, and she confirmed my self-​diagnosis according to my symptoms. We tried Lamictal for a couple of yrs then it stopped working. I went into a full-​blown manic episode. She put me on lithium and it worked to calm my mania. But my severe depression lingered. I called her all the time, she took every call immediately. She never missed a beat. We tried all kinds of drugs to help with the depression. Nothing worked. She knew I was drinking daily to help my anxiety but it was making my depression worse (she believed). So she told me to quit drinking. I did so and we put me on Cymbalta and magically the depression lifted! But it took so much trial and error and she was so patient and took every crazy call I made to her. I was astounded at how responsive she was to me. When you get to know her, she laughs and jokes and is quite warm. But her nationality makes her seem cold to Americans. She is anything but cold. I feel she truly cares about me. She remembers every litte thing I’ve ever told her. sometimes I’m amazed at her memory! No notes! So I refer people to her and she has helped all of them. She is one of a kind I feel.
