Psychiatric Care in Fort Lee: Local Access, No Compromise on Quality
Gimel Health is not a satellite office or a telehealth-only listing with a Fort Lee mailing address, it's the practice's actual home base. Every in-person evaluation happens here, and Michael Feldman built the practice in Fort Lee specifically to serve the diverse mix of long-time residents and newer arrivals who make up the borough, many of whom have struggled to find a psychiatric provider offering more than a rushed, insurance-driven appointment.
Fort Lee's position at the edge of the George Washington Bridge means many residents already split their lives between New Jersey and New York, for work, family, or both. That's part of why care here isn't limited to NJ addresses only, patients across both states can be seen in person at the Fort Lee office or via telehealth for follow-up visits, without needing to pick a single state's healthcare system.
Every new patient starts with a full evaluation, not a symptom checklist matched to the nearest diagnosis code. That means a real review of history, prior treatments, and the biological context behind a patient's symptoms, the kind of visit that's hard to get from a walk-in clinic or a rushed 15-minute medication check.
Fort Lee's population includes significant Russian-speaking and Hebrew-speaking communities, and care here is offered directly in English, Russian, and Hebrew, not through a translation service bolted onto an English-only practice.
Why Fort Lee Patients Choose In-Person Continuity
Because the office is local, many Fort Lee patients continue seeing Michael in person for follow-up visits rather than switching entirely to telehealth after the first evaluation, something patients driving in from further out in Bergen County or across the river often can't do as easily. That ongoing in-person continuity is part of what shapes care here, not just the first visit, but the ones after it too.

ABOUT
Meet Michael Feldman, PA-C
Founder · Physician Assistant–Certified
Why molecular biology matters to your treatment
Most psychiatric prescribing is trial-and-error. My background in
molecular biology — MSc from Hebrew University of Jerusalem, with
research at the Weizmann Institute and Mt Sinai — lets me think about
your case at the level of biological pathways, not just symptom
checklists. That means fewer wasted medication trials and a clearer
rationale for every decision.
Who I treat
Adults, adolescents, and children with anxiety, depression, ADHD,
bipolar disorder, OCD, eating disorders, and complex or treatment-
resistant cases. I work especially well with patients who've been let
down by rushed 15-minute medication checks elsewhere.
What your first visit looks like
A 60-minute initial evaluation — in person at my Fort Lee office or via
telehealth anywhere in NJ or NY. We'll go through your full history,
current symptoms, prior treatments, and biological context. You leave
with a clear diagnosis and a specific medication plan, not a maybe.

One of the most nicest, kindest and considerate doctors I met. He went over with me thoroughly on the documents and was generous enough to explain me everything that I asked. I think he is a real doctor of people and not just someone that's write prescriptions.
Michael is an amazing professional! He truly invests in his patients and provides care and feedback even during off hours. Although we have only been using his services for a short time, he already stands out as caring, knowledgeable, and confident in his approach. We plan to continue using his services and would absolutely recommend him to anyone!
Dr Michael Feldman is an amazing doctor. He prescribed the proper medication in the right dosage for me. He did this because he listens and asks very good questions. I highly recommend him
Michael Feldman is a wonderful and caring P.A. He always gives 100%. He listens attentively and provides many insights I would never thought of by myself. I find having him in my corner invaluable and I could not recommend him more highly. He's the best!
Michael Feldman is an excellent doctor! Very knowledgeable, attentive to patient's needs, caring, great bedside manners! Highly recommend!
I met Michael Feldman after years of search and trial and error. If you look for a professional who is invested in his patient's progress, research-oriented, with a deep understanding of the body-mind connection and a wholistic approach to treatment, look no further.
I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Feldman and truly feel fortunate to have found such a compassionate and knowledgeable psychiatrist for my teenager son. From the very first appointment, they took the time to listen without judgment and made me feel genuinely understood. Their explanations were clear, thoughtful, and grounded in evidence, which helped me feel confident in my treatment plan. The office staff is also friendly and efficient, making scheduling and follow‑ups easy. I highly recommend Dr. Feldman to anyone seeking a psychiatrist, especially for children.
My dad was recommended to see Dr. Feldman through his psychologist. He got him on track with medication and I finally feel like he’s himself again. Speaks Hebrew fluently as well which was a plus. Would recommend to anyone looking for an attentive and kind professional. Thank you!!
I was looking for support in working through my trauma. From the very first moment, I felt a comfortable atmosphere, even though the meetings were held via Zoom. It was clear that Mikhail was truly listening and delving into the problem. After each session, I felt empowered and calm. I definitely recommend Mikhail Feldman as an excellent specialist.
Great medication management! I was worried about the correct path to take to improve my mental health, and Michael really helped to properly explain my options and recommending the right medication. Highly recommend!
Dr. Feldman is very professional, intelligent, and highly knowledgeable. Appointments always run on time. After we switched to him, he immediately recognized that the previous diagnosis was incorrect. We’re very confident in his care and look forward to continuing with him.
