New York Psychological Practice; Virginia Boga, Ph.D.

Dr. Boga was fantastic. I reached out for assistance with a sensitive matter that required her expertise and she was kind enough to fit me into her very busy schedule. During our time she was present, attentive and asked all of the right questions to let me know that I was heard. There are many things I can say to describe my incredible experience but most importantly I would like to say Thank you.

I had a very positive experience with Dr. Boga.She took the time to thoroughly evaluate my child, making sure every detail was carefully considered. What stood out the most was how comfortable and at ease my child felt throughout the process, which made the evaluation much smoother and more effective. I truly appreciated her professionalism, patience, and the thoughtful approach she took. Highly recommend! Thank you Dr. Boga💕

Dr. Boga is amazing and so is all her staff. I had a really hard time getting an appointment for my son and this office was amazing and fit us in. They know the ins and out of OPWDD as well which can be confusing. They are fantastic. Highly recommend.

My son has been seeing one of the therapists there, Alyssa. He’s been very happy with her. We have noticed many positive changes with him. I would definitely recommend her to anybody and I definitely know my son would recommend her as well!

This office is amazing! Dr. Boga is great! Had a perfectly stress free experience with our appointment. Even on short notice. Office staff is extremely knowledgeable, responsive & accommodating. Everything we needed was done correctly & in a timely fashion. Highly recommend!

DO NOT TAKE YOURSELF OR YOUR KIDS HERE. SHE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT ACCURACY. find somewhere better!! After looking for doctors to figure out my rare complex neurodevelopmental disease this was yet another dismissive one. She was extremely rude and dismissive when i first met her when she told me the answer I’m looking for doesn’t exist then she apologized by sending a lengthy email by saying she understands people with rare disorders exist, however the damage is done, i continued with her but then she still has the audacity to tell me the truth im looking for is not the actual truth but a made up one even after saying she believes me!! and that I was closed minded, i have kept an open mind, i researched the conditions i was misdiagnosed with but nothing fits I knew I was a scientifically mysterious case, and her dismissing of my lived experiences of nearly 3 decades on this planet is so unsupportive & cruel actually. In short, she is very contradicting, lies about believing you and trying to help you but then backs off from caring and believing. the patient knows themself better than anyone after all. After my exchange with her I cried that night and barely went to sleep, does that sound supportive to you? How is it my fault that I’m not the typical patient, that I’m so different from everyone else that I get forced into the wrong boxes and blamed for making something i was born with up? Aren’t they supposed to help rare cases too? But no, if you or your child has a complex/rare disorder no one can figure out, don’t come here, don’t expect her to help you at all with a referral to a research center and notes on what makes you different, she is only fit with what’s known and convenient, only cares about money. It is an anti-science approach, science isn’t only sticking to what is known, it’s also a curiosity to discovering the unknown, not telling someone that these are the only disorders that exist, they aren’t gods so they don’t know that. But we’re not done yet, I told her I’m only interested in neurodevelopmental issues concerning focus and social difficulties, but guess what? NONE.. NONE of the report discusses any of these issues, its just slandering my personality and everything good that makes me who i am, my skepticism is turned to a fear of judgement from others, when i dont care about anyone’s judgement, i’m only interested in actual science, she also said I make up invalid beliefs and that feelings of humiliation are the reason i dont accept the viewpoints of others. WHY does she make this about other people. she pretended to misunderstand me and misconstrued the whole thing to make it look like its my fault, and so reading the report I felt like I was treated like a ‘freak’ or a ‘child’ instead of a sane adult to my future providers. And the fact she LIED before sending the report by saying she will send a referral and won’t misdiagnose me, but she did the opposite, im terribly disgusted about her lying about her intentions and perceptions of me, saying she believes my rare condition and will refer me, but does the opposite of that and says my beliefs are invalid when she said they werent. On the report she put somebody else’s name and what appears to be their diagnoses. She said don’t take the autism test i’m confident you will score for it, im not saying you have it im saying how can you be sure it’s undiscovered? Like cant you just say you think im autistic without flowery language just to appear inoffensive, cant you say what seems like you’ve been hiding from me. She is fake. she promised she will send the referral 2 MONTHS ago!! but never did. These people will pathologize our natural behavior, they aren’t fine until everyone in society can function in every area, but they are the last ones to question if they’re being pathological I know figuring out a rare disease is hard, I never asked for her to diagnose it, all I asked is for her to try her best in figuring out what makes me different and then referring me, but she did none of that, waste of money. im going to go cry for a bit now.

Excellent practitioner! From the moment I contacted her regarding placement for my daughter until our last text message she was nothing short of professional. Her staff is also extremely nice. Thank you Dr. Boga for your immense help in my matter and for your flexibility, kind and compassionate demeanor. Your passion for your work is admirable. Highly recommend her!
