Dr. Charles Oestreicher, MD

He is extremely crazy and I'm pretty sure he tried to harm me medically. Do not trust him. Do not trust any psychiatrist as they will mentally control you and numb your real feelings. Do not trust them with any information. His work has negatively impacted me for several years of my life. DO not go to this man.

I was this man's patient when I was 15 years old, and I was seeing him for treatment of my bipolar disorder. I had to endure his "help" for several months, during which time he called me "the most cynical person" he'd ever met, refused to listen when I requested that he lower my med dosage (despite me verbalizing that it made me feel like a zombie with increased suicidal thoughts during my rare moments of lucidity), and used a very superior and standoffish attitude with me at all times (except for when my mom was in the room). This entirely awful experience scared me away from psychiatrists and psych meds for years. I am almost 30 now, and I am still very deeply affected by this. Don't trust this guy with your vulnerability, he will Not tread lightly.

I was Dr O’s patient 45 years ago, in New Jersey. Highly intuitive and talented, and passionate about his work. He has been a strong influence in my life, and is part of the reason I became a physician

I was seeing a psychiatrist and I had told him my symptoms. He had a very good rating on his online reviews and my gut felt terribly confident when I started seeing him. Immediately, he had told me with confidence that he knew what was "wrong" - I was self-conscious. He had said it took one to know one - meaning he had gone through the same thing. I was very happy to hear that. Then I started listening to hs interesting steps on how to overcome self-consciousness - he gave me everyday daily assignments, along with psychotherapy(?) and weekly sessions. He gave a book to read, "Playing with Reality" by D.W. Winnicott. I guess we were going to psychologically play during sessions. Psychologically develop? I dunno ... One session, he was saying stuff and remember not caring what he said cause I didnt understand. He said outright that he was making fun of me. I casually laughed it off automatically as if it didn't bother me. I was made fun of a lot, most importantly, I was very sensitive… and always felt terribly humiliated. He kicked me out of the session once I did that and I never saw him again.

Intelligent and kind...he is over booked.
