"Please, please do not go to this man for any type of help. He was extremely rude and demeaning. He made me feel crazy and worse than I was feeling already, for the sake of your mental health problems find someone else! He tried to push me off to another doctor and said I’m not ready for therapy after only talking to me for 10 minutes on our first appointment, that he was 20 minutes late for! Any good therapist would not be so unprofessional. Terrible guy and therapist!"

"He made me feel therapy can no longer help me and there is a "chemcial imablence" in my brain that he could not fix. He was exactly as verbally abusive as the others say on this review. He just basically gave up on me because of my depression not magically going away. He handed me off to someone else because his stories of his glory days weren't helping me in the slightest. Almost admitted myself into a mental hospital over this guy (2nd time around in my lifetime and trust me I know how bad it is in there but I rather deal with them, instead of this disgusting man) and my obviously worse parents that loved his outlook. I left him as advised to get pills, to just find out I'm bipolar. He never analyzed me or my words (like my amazing new therapist does) he just dismissed my mood swings and my experiences of the week. It was never about me and what I was struggling with, one simple story of my hypermania would of educated him. But no, he is the center of his world. So, yeah dont go to this guy EVER. Zero Stars."

"If I could give no to half a star I would. Worst experience and almost went against what my health team advised. He loves to hear himself talk."

"I wish I read these reviews before speaking to this man! What a waste of time. Tried to tell me how to live my life and was demeaning, nasty and did absolutely nothing to help me. He was my last step before my surgery and I have to get another psych evaluation now because this man wasted my time. I honestly wish I had the conversation recorded that’s how bad it was. He made me feel so low and bad about myself, If I was extremely depressed I would have probably harmed myself after speaking to him. This man has NO BUSINESS being a psychiatrist. No compassion or positive things to say, all negative. HE NEEDS some counseling and medication..... don’t waste your time like I did. Needs his license taken away. I never experienced a doctor act so outlandish the way he did. 0 stars for this loser man."

"This guy is extremely unprofessional and disgusting. As a bariatric patient of Westchester Bariatric, I needed a psych evaluation done for surgery. He waited several months after the appointment until it was close to surgery only to let me know that unless I had several visits exclusively with him for therapy, he said he would not write the evaluation as the insurance company does not pay him enough for one visit to compensate his time to write the necessary report. Stay as far away as you can from this guy as possible. He will waste your time and money with no shame. If you need services from a psychological professional, seek help elsewhere! He is only out to exploit bariatric patients for unnecessary therapy and hold them up on their procedures with his bait and switch tactic."
