David Salvage, M.D., FAPM in
New York (NY)

Stay away, especially at $350 for a visit. and we all know how long phychiatrist visits take. well in that 5 minutes he prescribed me with bi polar meds that have a high level of warning with my heart meds. getting robbed free will was pretty bad, but then again could have been potentially worse if i havent been seeing a therapist for 15+ years. its amazing how these docs still prescribe doxepin at let alone 100mg for sleep, and 300mg of trazadone to sleep time to go back to school. i shoulda listened to my gut and walked right back in and took my money from this quack. STAY AWAY, even if you can afford him. he claimed to be some guru and i was off my meds so any price would be worth it, if actually what needed

I just spoke to him on the phone and wish he took my insurance what a very sweet man !

I work in the addictions field and Dr. Salvage is my go-to referral source for my clients in need of a psychiatrist. He is warm, personable, ethical and extremely knowledgeable in the field of addiction psychiatry. He truly cares for his clients and has their best interest at heart.

Why he does not take insurance?

whoever wrote the review about his office being dirty.... its a psychiatric services office, he's not doing neurosurgery in there. I thought it was cozy. He even gave me a straight up blunt no BS assessment which i appreciate.

I have known Dr.Salvage since he was applying for medical school, and I recently had an opportunity to visit his office in Brooklyn. He is one of the most empathetic people I know, and he has a gift for making people feel at ease. His office is consistent with his radical hospitality.

Great listener, brilliant and humble. Solid citizen. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to voice many of my concerns with him!

Unless he retires, you won't catch me going elsewhere. He is extremely knowledgeable, calming and really knows how to draw parallels and explain how (if you need them) your medications work. He does a genuine session and doesn't exist for the sole purpose of prescribing medications. He is NOT a drug pusher, he will keep you on the absolutely least amount of medication necessary and has often recommended yoga or other lifestyle changes as opposed to just shoving xanax down your throat. Could not recommend more!

Dr. Salvage is outstanding in every way. He is very organized stays on top of renewing medications, responding to querries, etc. He seems to have deep, broad knowledge not only about the mind, but also the body, and makes helpful connections and suggestions about a full range of treatments and treatment options. He is also one of the most erudite people I have ever met and uses music, art, etc. to make analogies. He is great fun to talk to and a sweet, caring, professional and helpful doctor and person. He is efficient and gets a lot done in 45 minutes.

Dr. Salvage helped me with his very calm and centered demeanor. He is kind, patient, and takes the time to listen to you fully, helpfully letting you come to the answers you need, with his thorough and thought-provoking assessment. I trust his counsel tremendously.

I was having a career crisis and Dr. Salvage got me back on track. I would recommend him to anyone.

Dr. Salvage is one of the most thoughtful, caring, and intelligent people I have ever encountered. Highly recommended.
