Dr. Edelstein was by far the most unprofessional an negligent doctor I have ever met. Here is a brief list of my experience (there is more, but limited by characters): Scolded my 13 year old daughter that she is not allowed to discuss with her father(legal guardian) what medications she is taking and how often she has taken them. Has made inappropriate comments about my 13 year old daughter's appearance, such has she has "chicken legs", made her very uncomfortable. Unresponsive, messages, prescriptions requests and will not send medical documents or prescriptions when asked. Sometimes weeks/months go by with no returned messages. Has no problem prescribing stimulants, sedatives, anticholinergics, and anti-anxiety meds to kids without therapy or counseling. Has no concerns for for child's well being, only wants to build her practice. Very concerning this lady still has a license. But by the other reviews, it's apparent that I'm not the only one concerned.

Dr. Edelstein was the best doctor I have ever found to see my kids. She speaks fluent Spanish and was very professional.

Dr. Edelstein claimed to be part of Children's Hospital, which she is not. Further, she kept asking me what drug I thought she should put my child on. Very unsettling for a parent of a newly diagnosed epileptic. She also continued to "promise" throughout the diagnosis stage that it wouldn't be X or Y (which it was), which any doc knows not to do. We left quickly.
