Dr. Goldberg worked with a number of our children over the yearsâ?¦ he is realistic, looks holistically at the entire patient/family environment. His savvy and know-how are tough to top. He is a great Mental Health Professional!

Been under his care for a long time now. He worked very hard to try and get me to trust him, then sat patiently through hours of silence, till I got a voice. He did save my life on many more than just one occasion. We got through it.It feels good to have Dr. Goldberg as my psychiatrist.

Quality time and meaningful discussion takes place when you actually get in to see the Doctor, but this office needs to be much more conscientious about patient's wait time or more realistic about setting appointments. I now have to factor in over 2 hours for what should be a 15 - 20 minute appointment . . and sometimes even that isn't enough. Makes it very difficult to plan my day and is very expensive when I have to take time off work.

Dr. Goldberg is simply the best psychiatrist I've ever seen. He diagnosed me correctly and gave me the right medication. If you can get an appointment, he's the best there is.
