What he has done for our now Adult child has been amazing. Outstandingly professional. As the parent of one of his patients who helps my child remember things after the procedure, the office can be a bit better coordinated. If they book appointments on behalf of a patient, contact the patients. Often at the hospital they say contact the doctors office to schedule your next appointment in XX weeks. Sometimes you find it has been made for you but that date may need to have been adjusted. We've had confirmations made that they spoke to us to confirm an appointment that we didn't hear about. They are a good team and I'm sure have a lot to deal with, but that's a representation of the doctor. They just need to emulate that same professionalism in contacting and confirming with patients. Again, excellent doctor. Amazing treatment option. Very professional and supportive.

Dr. Samuels is a very competent psychiatrist. I have had treatment for many years from several psychiatrists, and he is the best doctor I have had the pleasure of treating my illness. He is empathetic, caring and extremely knowledgeable about my condition. I feel that I have finally found THE doctor for me. By the way, he is very easy to speak with and has a great sense of humor, which is something that helps me get through the rough times. Thank you Dr. Samuels for being who you are. You are truly dedicated to your patients and the field of medicine that you have chosen to practice. I would recommend Dr. Samuels to anyone I know who has the need for the services of an excellent psychiatrist. B
