Dr. Golden has been my psychiatrist for over 15 years and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Dr. Golden is brilliant yet down to earth. He has a wonderful "bedside manner". Compassionate, caring, kind and really "tuned in" to everything that I have and need to speak about. I feel at ease with Dr. Golden and feel that I can tell him anything without him judging me. Dr. Golden cares about my physical ailments as well. I am so blessed to have Dr. Golden as my psychiatrist.

I was a patient of Dr. Golden several years ago. My PCP asked me to follow up with Dr. Golden. Dr. Golden stated that past patients and new patients are no longer accepted. As far as I understand, he is retiring.

Definitely would not see Dr. Golden further he lacked kindness and seemed not to really understand the situation at hand. He spends very little time with the patient and can be very cold and abrassive. I would not recommend the NW Clinic to anyone intersted in sessions.Certainly, could have fooled me that he is a graduate of Northwestern.

I have been a patient of Dr. Golden's since 2010. I am very lucky to have him as my doc. He cares about me. He cares about my many physical ailments as well as my other problems. He is very patient, kind and thorough. Dr. Golden always takes his time with me, no rushing me in and out. He is very compassionate. He even has the kindest face! I always feel better after talking to him. He explains everything perfectly. As well as being a wonderful doctor he is a fine gentleman. I am blessed to have Dr. Golden! I have actually had some scary psychiatrists in my past. NOT Dr. Golden, he puts you at ease. It is unacceptable to be afraid of your psychiatrist. I thank goodness that Dr. Golden is my psychiatrist! Great demeanor and personality too!
