Mental health continues to be one of the most exciting, evolving, and dynamic areas of medicine. At Brinkvale Psychiatric Institute, we are committed to do more than stay current; our mission is to continually be at the leading edge of modern mental health care.

During his long tenure as director of Brinkvale Psychiatric, Dr. Seymour Meitelbrun insisted that there was no case too difficult. Cases that his contemporaries rejected were welcomed by Dr. Meitelbrun, and he insisted that his staff never give up on a single patient. Dr. Meitelbrun treated every patient as if they were on a path toward eventual release.

Today, we continue to follow Dr. Meiterbrun's ethic. We will not shrink from any challenge, and we will try every available treatment to help those who are in our care-or, if need be, we will develop new treatments and continue Brinkvale's reputation as a leader and innovator in the mental health field.

Brinkvale Psychiatric is one of the legendary names in mental health care. In New York City, as well as around the world, people have heard of Brinkvale and have heard stories about the work we do here. The current staff at Brinkvale is proud to do their part to contribute to the ongoing fame of this prestigious institution. More...
