Dr. Elchin Gajiev - Board Certified Psychiatrist Serving New York for Over 20 Years
Online Psychiatrist Serving Westchester
Expert psychiatric evaluations and precise medication management from a Board-Certified Physician. Comprehensive, confidential, evidence-based care—without the commute.
Convenient, Confidential Telepsychiatry
Exceptional Care, On Your Terms
Balancing professional demands, family life, and your own well-being is a complex undertaking. When you are managing high-functioning anxiety, Adult ADHD, or the subtle weight of depression, you require a physician who offers medical precision and expert care.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Elchin Gajiev provides thoughtful, highly personalized psychiatry, with the deep, diagnostic scrutiny of an MD combined with the whole-person perspective of a DO. Because our practice is strictly private-pay and out-of-network, our caseload is deliberately limited. This ensures your care is never dictated by insurance constraints, giving you direct, unhurried access to top-tier psychiatric expertise.
