Product Description

✓ Edited by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: Established Ridgewood psychiatric practice offering REMS-certified Spravato (esketamine) and NeuroStar TMS alongside full psychiatry — one of the few Bergen County practices with both interventional treatments under a board-certified, hospital-affiliated psychiatrist (Traian Zisu, MD). Note: Ridgewood Psychiatric offers Spravato, not IV ketamine.

HealingMaps Take: Ridgewood Psychiatric pairs the two insurance-billable interventional depression treatments — Spravato and NeuroStar TMS — inside a traditional psychiatry practice, which means evaluation, medication management, and escalation all happen with the same hospital-affiliated psychiatrist. For Ridgewood and Bergen County patients who want covered, physician-directed treatment rather than a cash-pay infusion clinic, it’s a natural first stop. Patients set on IV ketamine should look elsewhere.

Market Position: Ridgewood Psychiatric occupies the covered-interventional psychiatry slot in the Ridgewood market — Spravato + TMS embedded in a full psychiatric practice under Traian Zisu, MD. The hospital affiliation and dual insurance-billable modalities are the differentiators.

Patient Review

“Dr. Zisu had managed my medications for two years before we escalated to Spravato, so nothing about my history got lost. Insurance covered it, and having TMS as the next option in the same office took the fear out of the decision.”
