Nery Diaz is a psychiatrist with subspecialty training in geriatric psychiatry. Dr. Diaz’ passion for geriatric care is inspired by both her Caribbean heritage, which emphasizes respect and care for elders, and her strong scientific background and clinical acumen. Dr. Diaz received her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine at Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, completed her residency at University of New Mexico School of Medicine and completed Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship Training at Yale University School of Medicine. Dr. Diaz was awarded a Doctors Across New York (DANY) fellowship by the State of New York and currently serves as the attending physician and sole geriatric psychiatrist at the Audubon Clinic, part of the Washington Heights Community Service (WHCS) in New York City. In this role, she provides essential care to a predominantly monolingual Spanish-speaking population with serious mental illness, compounded by aging, chronic medical conditions, neurologic disorders, and the socioeconomic challenges that impact their overall well-being. Dr. Diaz is an active contributor to the field through scholarly publications, poster presentations, and lectures at national and international conferences, focusing on the psychiatric care of older adults with serious mental illness. She has been recognized by the American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry (AAGP) as a content expert in sleep disorders—an area critical to healthy aging, yet often underrepresented in training curricula.
