About the Practice

Psychiatry practiced with
patience, precision, and purpose.

Dr. Mark D. Miceli MD, Psychiatrist

Dr. Mark D. Miceli is a board-certified psychiatrist (ABPN) with more than 20 years of experience in general adult psychiatry. He completed his residency and fellowship at UMDNJ, where he was honored with teaching awards both as a resident and later as faculty. He went on to serve as a Clinical Instructor at Harvard Medical School, supervising residents, fellows, and medical students at Cambridge Health Alliance. He has also held leadership roles including Medical Director and Interim Chairman of Psychiatry at Hoboken University Medical Center.

His private practice in Midtown Manhattan is intentionally small. He sees adults for comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and — for patients who are interested — a careful, supervised review of medications they may no longer need.

A Clinical Interest in Deprescribing

Over the course of a long career, Dr. Miceli noticed a pattern: patients arriving with long lists of psychiatric medications — some prescribed years or decades ago — that had never been systematically reviewed. Each drug had its origin in a clinical decision that made sense at the time. But medicine changes, patients change, and what was once helpful can become a burden.

Deprescribing — the evidence-based, clinically supervised process of reducing or eliminating medications no longer necessary or beneficial — has become an important area of clinical interest in this practice. Dr. Miceli approaches it not as a rejection of medication, but as a refinement of care. Some patients will continue important medications. Others will safely reduce their regimens. The goal is always to find the right balance for each individual.

This work requires patience, clinical experience, and a willingness to move slowly when slowness is what the patient needs.

This Practice

Mark D. Miceli MD, Psychiatry PLLC is a private, cash-pay practice in Midtown Manhattan. Dr. Miceli sees patients in person at the Manhattan office and via telehealth for patients located anywhere in New York State. The practice is intentionally small, allowing Dr. Miceli to give each patient the attention their care requires.

Because this practice does not participate in insurance networks, appointments are never rushed to meet billing minimums, documentation never dictates clinical decisions, and the relationship between patient and physician remains primary. Superbills are provided for patients who wish to seek out-of-network reimbursement from their insurance carrier.

Three principles that guide every appointment.

Time as a Clinical Tool
Good psychiatric care cannot be compressed into a 15-minute slot. Every appointment is long enough to actually understand what is happening for the patient — not just what can be documented quickly.
Minimum Effective Treatment
The right medication at the right dose is almost always better than more medications at higher doses. Dr. Miceli's default orientation is toward simplicity — adding only when necessary, removing when appropriate.
Collaborative Decision-Making
Patients are partners in their care. Treatment decisions — especially around deprescribing — are made together, with full transparency about what is known, what is uncertain, and what the options are.
