Park Avenue Doctors | Ben Angarita MD

“Doctor Ben has been an absolute blessing in me and my family's life! My younger brother has been seeing him for a few years now, and I don't think we would see as much progress if it wasn't for Ben. Doctor Ben has been very influential in my life as well, which has helped me gain much needed perspective in the past year I've been seeing him. Dr. Ben is authentic, compassionate, and very caring towards his patients. A great listener and communicator, he helps sort through anxiety and emotional baggage to find clarity. I emphatically recommend him to anyone desiring quality care and psychiatric services!”

“I went to Doctor Ben with a self-diagnosis from web quizzes. After an initial assessment, he was able to tell me that not only did I not have the problems that I thought, I had an entirely different set, which was much easier to treat! After several months of working with him, I've had huge improvements in my quality of life, across areas including my marriage, my friendships, my job, and my ability to enjoy simple social interactions. I wholeheartedly recommend Doctor Ben to other patients. He is calm, kind, understanding, has a sense of humor, and is able to approach my problems through the metaphors that I use to address them, instead of needing them translated from nerd to English.”

“Ben Angarita is an exceptional doctor. His treatment was instrumental in understanding, management and coping with ADHD, as well as discovering confidence in my abilities, skills and competencies. Over the years I healed traumas, oppened up in communication and could readily share my experiences with others, interacted at work and socially with a new found freedom, without the stigma or making myself wrong or spending hours alone trying to get everything perfect, having something to show to be liked or appreciated. I became aware of the many gifts I had and how I contributed to others, as well as developed a sense of awareness and humor, of myself, and in tasks and issues which had seemed terribly serious and challenging to deal with. Dr. Ben is a great listener, empathetic, understanding, resourceful and keen to share his knowledge and studies when I asked questions. In our conversations I could discern what were the essential outcomes I desired to achieve and recognize the pathways of my accomplishments. I also learned how I benefited from taking breaks in my schedule and found new ease in my life, spending quality time with loved ones. Thank goodness for Dr. Ben.”

“I began as a client of Dr. Dokun for about 5 months before he went on paternity leave. Despite having a full schedule, Dr. Ben decided to take me under his care. Transitioning from one therapist to another in a middle of treatment can be difficult for all involved especially for the client since trust and rapport have to be reestablished. But from the very beginning Dr. Ben worked to ease this move by ensuring we stuck to a weekly schedule and being flexible on the occasions when I needed to change days or time. During the therapy he made sure to give me his undivided attention the entire session. Over the past 18 months Dr. Ben has continued to work with me using his noteworthy traits of listening, reiterating and inquiring to gain a better sense of the issues I deal with and then, over time, “pushing me” so I can overcome and better handle situations I am confronted with. Finding the right psychiatrist is like finding a solid friend in your life; someone who works as a partner, builds you up, challenges you and cares your well-being. You will find that with Dr. Ben.”
