I am a long term patient. My depression and ADD are treatable, not curable. The care he has provided has always been excellent and he works with me to treat my diseases so the quality of my life is better. He is an exceptional listener. He has always treated me with honesty, dignity and compassion. I believe he is a truly gifted physician.

Undoubtedly the best psychiatrist I have had since being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1991. I came to him in 2002 from a horrible situation in Wisconsin and it took about three months and he had me stabilized. My psychiatrist in Wisconsin had me way over medicated. That doctor has surrendered his license forever in Wisconsin.

Since 1991, Dr. Neil Pauker is the fourth psychiatrist I have had and I have been with him since 2002. I came to Fort Myers from a clinic in Dubuque, Iowa and my bipolar disorder was in the depressed mode from which I could not escape. Dr. Pauker told my sister, "He will be fine but it will take a couple months to get his medications corrected." And that he did. I have talked to other patients of other psychiatrists in NAMI and there is no doubt that Dr. Neil Pauker is one of thee best masters of medications I have ever met as a patient.

Dr. Pauker is undeniably the best at what he does! I had been misdiagnosed so many times and given so many prescriptions drugs I felt like a Ginny pig. Now I am one one drug and he knows whst he is truly doing. I feel much better about my treatment!
