Super professional & pleasant staff. The doctor was quite thorough & made me feel at ease. Listened to my issues & made it clear that we're going to try all options until we find something that's efficient & I'm comfortable with.

First of all, this "Doctor's" office is also his residence which was very cluttered with personal affects etc. which made it seem a little unprofessional. The session was very quick and Dr. Kremberg's mind seemed to be somewhere else. He quickly rattled off some questions to confirm that I was not a schizophrenic and then prescribed me meds for my insomnia and ocd. I never ended up filling the prescriptions and was able to overcome my insomnia and ocd on my own. I never went back again.

My issue is not directly with Dr. Kremberg during sessions, but rather the staff within the office. My issues with his staff are three fold. 1 - They never answer the phone. Due to this confirming an appointment time is utterly impossible. 2 - I called when I needed a refill of my RX prior to my next appointment. Even after leaving 7 messages over the course of 2 weeks, I never heard from either the Dr. or his staff. This left me without my RX. When I finally did get them on the phone they were extremely rude and hostle. At one point, the admin even said to me "what?! do you think you are our only patient? I can't return every single phone call." Due to this, I was left without a RX for 3 weeks. 3 - I was overcharged for my visits. It wasn't till I received information in the mail from my health care provider that this came to light. I'm still waiting on my reimbursement and I'm sure I'll have to continue to call and harp until this is resolved. It is difficult to find a Dr. that you feel comfortable with and trust. Unfortunately, even through I liked Dr. K his staffing issues have forced me to find another doctor. If I can't rely on receiving my medications consistently and have my questions/concerns answered, I can't continue to visit the Dr.

He texted and picked up the phone during my session.

I agree with most comments here. Dr. Kremberg is able to listen and show concern but if you expect more, you're looking for a therapist, not a psychiatrist. His expertise is in psychopharmacology but he respects your opinion of your internal state. It's a bit frustrating that I couldn't get to ZocDoc and the office didn't call me back, however...

I like Dr. Kremberg. I think you need to be very clear with what is going on with you and what you are asking for, because the office is very busy. I wrote down my diagnosis and medication history before my appointment so I could give it to him. He gave me my current medication as well as new ones to try to tweak what's going on for me. You have to be willing to take responsibility for trying your medication and reporting back to him. For me it works because I am well educated in psychopharmacology and willing to have some freedom to experiment, but it might not be a good approach for everyone.

Dr. K and his staff are the consummate professionals. He is definitely not a pill pusher, but certainly a practical and compassionate meds manager.

Seemed extremely intelligent and knowledgeable of his field. He really wants to help cure your problems ASAP rather than help you slowly and milk you for your money with more follow up appointments. Best psychiatrist I have ever been to and I have been to many!

I liked Dr K but when I needed to speak with his office manager about prescriptions and my follow-up, I did not receive any calls back. This has been about two weeks, and I couldn't even get a reminder of the follow-up. Now on ZocDoc it shows a three week wait, which would be five weeks later than when he wanted me to return.

I read a lot of negative feedback, but after much anxiety was pleasantly surprised with my appointment. I suffer from major depression disorder and have been battling with this for over six years. After getting past the initial rude guard at the desk downstairs and figuring out the whereabouts of the office, I sat down in the waiting room and a few minutes later was greeted with paperwork. I would definitely suggest arriving early if you're a new patient, because I had to fill out a lot of forms, some of which had been photocopied so many times that the edges were cut off. Regardless of this off-putting paperwork and the eclectic/outdated waiting room, I figured I'd at least continue and give it a shot. By the way, their office does not take credit cards, so I'm glad that I brought cash for my co-pay. Dr. Kremberg was direct, but knowledgeable and honest in his approach. He doesn't seem like the type of guy who will hold your hand and listen to your problems, but more of a pharmacologist who is there to manage your medications. I was happy with his assessment and although I did leave the office (which I believe doubles as his apartment, but he does have both a separate waiting room, home office, and consult room) with four prescriptions, they were mainly to ween me off of my current medications and onto just one pill. I have another appointment in a few weeks and will write another review, especially in regards tothe medication. I can't speak for other cases, but for depression, he seems like a good doctor with a solid working knowledge of the medications in the mental health industry.

Great experience being that I had a previous diagnosis and medication regimen that was working for me. Dr. K. confirmed previous diagnosis and provided new insight to my condition. He made good suggestions and did not try to add or switch medication/s unless I needed it. Dr. K. is exactly the psychiatrist I was looking for; however, I can understand other reviews that recommend seeing a different doc for psychotherapy and/or "talk therapy". The phone and doorbell rang quite a bit which was somewhat distracting, but for brief medication reviews Dr. K. is great and very knowledgeable!
