As a worker's comp "Psychiatrist"... Dr Bienenfeld will try to push psych meds on people when they get defensive with him. As a prior review stated "pushing people back to work for the EMPLOYERS benefit. a person experiences something truly horrendous and he thinks your “mildly” effected (oh you were attacked ...25.1%) DO NOT TRUST HIM, HE HAS NO CONSCIENCE, HE HAS NO ALLEGIANCE TO THE TRUTH, ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS FOLLOWING ORDERS (from those who cut HIS CHECKS).

This guy is a quack for hire. Whatever the person cutting him a check says he’ll do. Forget about the Hippocratic oath he swore by. He DOES NOT care about a patients well being. Hippocrates is rolling over in his grave. When he’s not shaking down the families of recovering addicts he freelances to employers accepting workers comp cases, pushing people back to work for the EMPLOYERS benefit. From what I hear you could see or experience horrendous things and he thinks your “mildly” effected (oh you saw someone decapitated...25%). Make sure your workers comp lawyers have YOUR doctors statements. He is THEIR doctor. Workers Comp board will always reverse what he says because he is wrong and you will be paid the correct money for your disability.

It is hard to find a doctor who really gets addiction. Dr. Bienenfeld does. He is smart, understanding and the office is easy to deal with. He also runs a program called "Rebound Brooklyn" www.reboundbrooklyn.com which is amazing.
