Coming from a family that thought mental health was a joke, I allowed my state to worsen beyond belief. Everything about my life started falling apart as I developed PTSD. Had no clue what it was. Doctor Goldin-Mertdogan helped me and is still helping through this moment as we work towards stitching my life back together.

"Dr." John extremely overmedicated my son with far too many meds and too high of dosages. When my son and i mentioned adverse side affects, he would then see my son in private and my son would leave with yet another prescription to counteract the side affects of the previous prescription. Later after the appointment, trying to get in touch with him was more difficult than getting a live representative from Comcast customer service.

This "dr" will prescribe you a fatal prescription cocktail. Beware

I can't believe this doctor is still practicing after seeing how poorly he treated some patients. I believe he had poor diagnostic ability, poor treatment planning and lacked sufficient patient follow-up.

MY SON WAS IN CRISIS AND DR. JOHN REARRANGED HIS SCHEDULE TO SEE HIM THE VERY NEXT DAY! WE WERE SO GRATEFUL THAT HE WAS ABLE TO SEE OUR SON SO QUICKLY AND AS A RESULT, OUR SON IS FEELING MUCH BETTER. WE AVOIDED A COSTLY INPATIENT STAY AT A NEARBY PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF THE PROMPT DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT OFFERED BY DR. JOHN AT IPD! WE WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DR.JOHN TO ALL OF OUR FAMILY AND CLOSE FRIENDS.
