Dr. Marvin Zelman, MD

I saw dr Zelman off and on for a couple years. All he cared about was payment! He has no qualms about getting down to the nitty gritty discussing payment. As an addict patients are feeling desperate and he takes full advantage of that. He comes across judgemental and makes you feel like it’s an interigation vs treatment. He even offered me Xanax and other controlled substances while he was treating me for opioid dependency! Any addiction physician will tell you not to mix opioids /suboxone with benzodiazepines! I missed an appointment which I canceled and his old senial receptionist did not note on their end and he would not continue my treatment unless I paid for the missed visit-which was $200. He makes up his own financial rules and honestly I do not know how his practice is even legal and he gets away with the medical board. He is getting rich off of others pain and he does not care about patients.

I am writing based on the report from one of his patient’s. Dr. Zelman merely used this patient as a “cash cow.” He did not care about the patient’s treatment goals. Was not interested in helping the patient alleviate symptoms. He instead focused on creating a dependency in which the patient needed to continue to be seen. He went so far as to offer to see the patient less frequently for more money. Irresponsible medical care. Should be investigated by the medical board

I've been A patient of Dr Zelman for quite some time. He is very thorough and has proven to be a doctor I can trust. He has listened to my concerns from day one and has educated me along the way . I absolutely adore the receptionist also.

Dr. Zelman is not a great doctor. Now looking back, after all these years, I am not even sure if he is even a good person. Sometimes I look back and view him, as a cold hearted man; a man who has only one thing on his mind: Money, Money. Although he did help me at the beginning; in the end, I sometimes feel that he did more harm then good. Many years ago, he misdiagnosed me with an illness that I apparently did not have. He even told my family (behind my back) that I will probably never finish college, have a regular job, own a home, etc. etc. However he was wrong on all of those points. Being a good pill subscriber, does not necessarily make you a great doctor, or even a good person.

Great doctor that really cares and listens to what you have to say and really trust you. Best doctor I've been to! Alittle expensive to see him but very we'll worth it

I am always going to review from time to time that Dr. Marvinn Zelman reveals your identifying information to other patients. Whether you are a quiet, unsuspecting person or a major, public figure (yes, he revealed her, too!), beware. I now know of specific information related to a major accomplished figure only because Dr. Zelman thought her situation was worth mocking to another patient.

I never met a Dr. that really listened to how I felt and worked closely with me to make sure the medications we agreed would work for my conditions worked without any negative side effects. I was a mess before I met Dr. Zelman, using illegal drugs to self medicate while remaining oblivious to the treatment programs available. Within the first few meetings I was 85% better, then with a few tweaks in my medications I was up to 100% a few visits later.

Smart but not very pleasant. MONEY MONEY

As I was a moronic teenager and into my early 20's I was lost in life. I dropped out of college immediately and therefore stopped playiong sports - this lead me to become a fat, addicted, lazy and unenlightened person... After spending most of my teenage years watching all of my friends die all around me from drugs and alcohol, and through it all I was looking for a good pasych doctor, I eventually came across Dr. Zelman. I swear on everything I hold dear that this man saved my life. He is very blunt and that is what a person like myself NEEDED and still do need. I have been with Dr. Zelamn for over 10 years now and I am now a professional businessman running my own investment firm with confidence that I never thought I'd achieve. With the correct medication, the "here's how it is, even though it may not be fun to hear" style that Dr. Zelamn has is what changed me. I am now almost 29 yearsa old and am a completely differnet person than who I was back at age 19. I see people today… who knew be back THEN and they seriously, like, LITERALLY dont even believe that I am the same person. I LOVE, yes, LOVE Dr. Zelman and I will forever credit him and my family for saving my life as all of my friends were dying from drug/alcohol abuse...and I mean ALL of my friends are dead. Dr. Zelman is THE BEST Psychiatrist I have ever known... and growing up, I knew dozens upon dozens....

Nasty IME visit- the little ghoul spent too much time on my dead relatives and grilling me on my supposed mental illnesses (non) and insinuating that I was lying as to not achieve a true diagnosis. I've been told he never diagnoses head injury- that's his hallmark. Apparently, I'm the first one in many a year he actually conceded that diagnosis to.
