Monte Nido Manhattan is an eating disorder day treatment program for adolescents and adults of all genders. Located in Midtown near Bryant Park, we offer partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs for all eating disorder diagnoses including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, OSFED, as well as co-occurring disorders.
My experience at Monte Nido Manhattan was almost great if not for a relatively major issue.
The team at the center is made up of several RC’s to help with tasks around the center, a few therapists and dietician's with one of each assigned to each patient, and finally an NP and one psychiatrist that sees everyone. The current Psychiatrist, Dr. Gupta is completely unfit to practice on patients with eating disorders. He has no understanding of the sensitivity needed to work with these groups and has said absolutely appalling things to several patients myself included. On top of this, he is seemingly insistent that everyone he sees is showing clear bipolar symptoms despite many having been cleared by professionals for years.
The rest of the team at Monte Nido is amazing, and outside of my raised issues it was an extremely helpful experience, sadly I cannot recommend the program at this time.

I wish I read reviews and did more research before contacting them. As others have said, they are greedy for money. They charged $425 for a consultation to see if it was even the right fit. Haven’t heard back from them since and it’s been over 2 weeks. I called and supposedly they’re negotiating with my insurance, but I haven’t gotten any updates. I contacted other organizations that looked at me like I was crazy when I asked how much for the consultation, which let me know Balance ripped me off. Monte Nido charged nothing for the assessment and took my family member right away (3 days later).
