Great doctor!
Verified patient
I feel as if he is very out of date with his analysis. Everything came off as something he read in a book once. As I cried in the office, he suggested that it was because of "social media" that I felt this way, rather than because I felt completely unheard during my session. I felt as if he heard nothing that I was saying, and that recommended me a prescription with barely understanding the way that I felt. I would not go back to this office. He was very friendly don't get me wrong, but it felt like he was very out of touch.
I’ve been suffering for years because doctors just couldn’t help me so I gave up for a while not being able to function in day to day life. Until I met him . He immediately understood where I came from and helped me to understand my illness better. I am now able to function again and not only that strive I suggest him to everyone deserves s doctor of this caliber

?? ????? BOOK NOW?? For anyone that TRULY wants to get better. If you’re looking for a doctor to just write scripts-Go to Broadway in Amityville plenty of Docs there, that as long as you pay they will prescribe BUT if you are someone that wants a REAL psychiatrist that is going to help you regain your confidence & happiness to enjoy life & live in the presence. My last psychiatrist of 5 years was not someone I trusted but the hours worked with my schedule at that time. My appointments consisted of being asked where to send my prescriptions that’s it. Never asked how I was feeling or if my dosages needed any adjustments. I was lucky if I got a full minute each month & that’s being generous. It is not easy to find a great psychiatrist that you TRUST. I never comment or leave reviews but I had to. It was necessary because I want to help other people get better & this psychiatrist is truly amazing. Bonus is the availability multiple days & times for an appointment which is very convenient.
With out this man I wouldn’t be where I am today
