Manuel Lopez Leon

As a single mother in this big bad city, I have constantly struggled with trying to find the right balance with my teens.
Sometimes you just have to go beyond what you would like to admit you need and ask for help.
This is where Dr. Lopez comes in. He is an adolescent Psychiatrist and forensic Psychiatrist. He deals in everything you can imagine but is THE top expert in opioid dependance amongst teens.
One of the best things about him is that he not only speaks spanish and english but he UNDERSTANDS both cultures and treats accordingly. I never thought I would find someone who could understand what our lives were like living in central america for many many years and now transitioning (as a mixed race family) back into the United States. This doctor is the one for that.
He not only is easy to talk to, but he never gives you that judgemental «do you think this is the best thing for your kid» statement… he LISTENS and he understands the difficulty of raising teens in this sinful city.
He treated one of my children a year and a half ago successfully and now for another problem we went back and he has been our saviour. Thank GOD I found this doctor.
He works out of a nice building between 29^th and 30^th on 5^th avenue. His office has a code you put in and enter and a nice waiting area. Its pleasant and calm.
Every time we go, my daughter and I have these nervous laughing fits where we just cant stop laughing out of sheer nerves and he sits calmly through it all though we must drive him insane with that behavior. He has a very nice secretary named Consuela who has a pretty strong accent but speaks english perfectly well.
He offers candy and water too…
We have had a difficult situation in my family and I cant believe that this doctor is on top of it every moment. I got a call or text from him every few HOURS even though he is a very busy person. After our initial crisis he has kept up the texting to check in on us and has made us so comfortable we just never want to lose him!
He does accept some insurances and though the initial evaluation is a bit high, its the norm here in NYC and he is a very experienced doctor who really does know his stuff.
What doctor texts you on a regular basis to make sure you are doing well?! He is well worth the cost and I find him effective. He is one of the few licensed doctors to have the authorization to use specific new treatments in opioid abuse and he DOES get results with little to none relapse. If any of you has a problem with todays drug of choice for most teens (painkillers) do not hesitate to contact this doctor, he is absolutely THE best, I cant stress it enough. I thought there was no hope but there IS and his name is Manuel Lopez Leon… and he treats many many types of illnesses with success because he is also a medical doctor.
Check out his website to see the array of symptoms and illnesses he can treat, you will be so glad you did, trust me!
