Nader Galal, MD

Bedside Manner: He spends most of his time on the computer either looking at his schedule or taking notes. He doesn’t transition from talking to you and working on his computer; he just turns away and types like you aren’t in the room. Almost half of my session is sitting in silence while he types.
Scheduling: It might be better for those who don’t work long hours, but Dr. Galal’s office doesn’t work with people with irregular hours. They seem agitated when an appointment needs to be rescheduled.
Wait Time: I think this is the one of the only areas he excels in. I rarely wait, and in an extenuating circumstance, he waited for me when there was subway construction.
Overall: Dr. Galal might be a good option if he is close to you, and your needs for a psychiatrist are minimal. Dr. Galal, in general, seems to be experienced. He does make an effort to diagnose and treat when you are sitting in front of him. However, I felt like every time I walked through the door I was meeting him for the first time. He is not flexible and not very personable. Also his receptionist Sabrina is unprofessional, both in what she says to the patients and how she handles phone calls and messages.
Final thoughts: Good if you are in a pinch, avoid if you can. (Takes Blue Cross Blue Shield)
