Norma helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. She is a wonderful human. She truly cares for her patients and offers great advise. She helps you to change the way you think about bothersome things.

She will not spend time with you that you deserve, but she will still charge you for the full amount of time. She is very selfish and will scam you out of your money. Go to anyone else but her!

Dr. Norma Safransky is accessible, knowledgeable and very very helpful. I do recommend her for anyone needing assistance with depression; she can provide counseling and prescription medications. In addition she can help you address other issues, such as sleep problems, marital issues, and more.

I have been seeing Dr. Safransky for long term medication maintenance for many years. She saved my life by taking my concerns seriously and showing genuine concern for my well being. I would recommend her to anyone.

Does not spend enough time with the client to even be able to feel as if you have been heard or to have any meaningful benefit from the "short amount of time" visit. Gives no feedback and just sits there and says basically nothing and makes you feel as if she is not even really listening or even caring. Multiple interruptions (someone at the door) during your (paying)time. Would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Leaves you feeling like you have not even been helped in anyway.
