Dr. Turecki is treating our daughter who was suffering from depression and anxiety/panic attacks. He used medication and taught her behavioral techniques to help her with the anxiety and panic. These concrete methods helped our daughter immensely. He also worked with us as a family to help us support our daughter through this very difficult period. He was always kind, supportive and patient. With his help, we saw our daughter improve within weeks. We went to Dr. Turecki feeling hopeless. We are now optimistic and feel that our daughter will be able to reach her full potential. We would highly recommend him.

I have been a patient of Dr. Turecki for quite some time, and during that time he has shown himself to be one of the most the professional, keen, involved, and kind psychiatrists in the field. He has a unique ability of being able to diagnose and pinpoint issues, along with a manner of talking with you which allows you to implement his advice/guidance in your life. For me personally, he has been very active and responsive when there have been crises in my life, calling and going out his way to check in because he truly cares. These qualities, among how sharp he is and picks up on things, have changed and guided my life in a healthy direction. I wish that everyone in need of help with any type of psychiatric issue could receive this level of care.
Dr Turecki was able to diagnose my illness quickly and offer concrete advise as to how to overcome my illness. Therapy, along with the proper medications, have enabled me to reclaim my healthy life. This could not have occurrrd without Dr Turecki’s guidance and assistance. Dr Turecki is a gem.
Dr. Turecki has been extremely helpful to me. He has been flexible in appointment times/visits but more importantly he has provided proper med management. He also has a keen sense of how to analyze a situation and cut through the "noise" that was preventing me from tackling my main psychological issues. I highly recommend him.
I am so grateful I made that first appointment with Dr. Turecki. I was hopeless and did not know what to do with my 13 year old's deviant and abnormal behavior. With the help and expertise of Dr. Turecki I watched her start to climb out of a severe depression within weeks of our first visit. I could not be happier with the initial results. He addresses all contributors to the child's behavior from the medical to family dynamics. He is attentive, thoughtful, encouraging, nonjudgmental and open to questions that may challenge him without making anyone feel uncomfortable. I believe my child is on the road to living to her fullest potential and that we are on the road to improving our mother-child bond as well. We owe it all to Dr. T. You will not regret it as you or your loved one's life is worth the premium rates.
As someone who has never visited a psychiatrist before, Dr Turecki was a surprise. He is very understanding and knowledgeable in his field and I certainly appreciate his point of view on things. It's hard for me as an adult (set in my ways) to put his advice into practice sometimes but his helpful guidance to actively work on my anxiety and mild add is something that I very much appreciate.
Dr. Turecki was very easy to schedule with and accessible. He is responsive to ZocDoc requests, and reached out to confirm. I did not have to wait to be seen and have been very satisfied with the services rendered.
Dr. Turecki is easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable. He is very good at keeping track of things I have said in previous appointments and makes me feel like he is really getting to know me and trying to understand me fully. Highly recommended.
Dr. Turecki is a rare find.
Extremely insightful and passionate about helping his patience. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. Thank you Dr. Turecki!
Dr. Turecki has been extremely helpful with my anxiety. He's warm, caring, and extremely experienced, using a combination of medication and talk therapy to get results. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Turecki is brilliant, and extremely effective at diagnosing remediating psychiatric issues. He has helped our entire family and without his intervention, we would have suffered individually and collectively for "who knows how long". I have recommended him to friends, who have had similarly positive experiences. He is excellent - responsive, professional, thoughtful and caring.
As a young adult in my mid-twenties I feel very comfortable working with Dr. Turecki on understanding my behavior. He has been very helpful in determining the treatment that is best for my diagnosis. He is very knowledgeable of medicine and I trust his opinion. I highly recommend Dr. Turecki.
As a parent of a difficult child we sought out the help & Dr. Turecki. During our visits with Dr. Turecki we experienced him as thoughtful & caring. His wealth & experience & knowledged provided us with insight & understanding to deal with some of our challenges with confidence & positive outcomes. We appreciate how he looks at the whole family unit & related well to all members of our family. We found he did not put our family in a box & had a different perspective on the common diagnosis. We felt we could trust Dr. Turecki.
As a young adult (so next month) I was somewhat hesitant to 1st visit Dr. Turecki as he is such a well known child psychiatrist but I have been very happy w/ him + reocommend him for anyone looking for a traditional psychiatrist.
Dr. Turecki is the best of the best. Faced with a myriad of seemingly insurmountable problems, I have been fortunate to have had the help of this caring, intelligent, and very experienced psychiatrist. From the challenges of raising a special needs child, to surviving the stress of divorce, and the anxiety & depression that ensued, Dr. Tureki has provided comfort & support. Any decision about the need, effectiveness, or continuation of any medication is always a joint one and he is not only open to, but recommends alternative treatments that he considers medically effective. He is always available to help when there is a crisis, and from my experience, to provide exceptional care during regular visits.
I have been seeing Dr. Turecki regularly for 2+ years as both psychiatrist & psychotherapist. He is an excellent therapist, capable of seeing and addressing both the large scale, relational and emotional issues, and the practical and medical aspects of mental illness. In addition he is both kind and stern, understanding and demanding & honestly he has been significant in helping me through my depression.
