Dr. Steven R. Budoff, MD 597 Springfield Avenue, Summit, NJ 07901

"One of the better experiences I've had with today's physician's. I've had my fair share of doctors and throughout my whole treatment since being diagnosed 12 years ago, I finally can say I'd be completely fine staying here and getting treatment nowhere else. I could tell after the first visit with Dr. Budoff that he has a personality that I can actually express concerns to and ideas, and I'm not undermined. That;s what I wanted in a psychiatrist a doctor I could connect with. And while I do spend too much time on PubMed and WebMD I'm not proud, I know I don't know more than a doctor and I'm fine being told so. But it takes a special patience to deal with the patient asking the same question he may have heard before, and can yet still take the time to explain the reasoning. I feel he has a strong understanding of the chemistry and perhaps likes to explain. Either way, i feel like he cares, and exhibits passion and interest in what he does. Not all Psychiatrists Summit NJ have the skill but also the respectful bedside manner Dr. Budoff does. After being a patient for the past 5 months I can say that it was no fluke that I receive the same best care and attention each and every time."

"I recently switched to Dr. Budoff a few months ago after years of care under another physician. After things got to a certain point and new combinations of therapies didn't work, my previous doctor was out of answers. I was referred by a friend who has needed a high level of treatment by a capable Doctor trained and knowledgeable in the latest breakthroughs in psychiatric pharmacology. Dr. Budoff is a leader in his field and gives you the best care, considering all avenues and keeping in mind your own personal health history. For instance my other doctor never mentioned how my therapies effect the other hormones in my body. I feel much safer in the care of here with Dr. Budoff's commanding knowledge of the body and medications. It's nice to know my therapy that my therapy isn't guesswork, as i feel it has been before coming here."

"I couldn't be happier with the level of service and care I have received from Dr. Budoff. I have searched far and wide for a Doctor. of his caliber and expertise. I'm a bit of a complicated patient and many doctors have told me I'm a bit of a challenge due to my overall joint health issues as well. That being said their are considerations, contraindications and limitations on the medications I can use to treat my mood disorders. Some psychiatrists have been at a bit of a loss as to how to continue treatment or how implement something new. We had a very involved first meeting. His warm personality and the time he took to get to know me as as a person and a patient was very assuring. Not once did he seem as if there might be an issue treating me, even when I expressed what other doctors have told me, he addressed it but never felt that it was hopeless. After more in depth questions and answers, i simply have come to the conclusion that Dr. Budoff is of the few psychiatrists capable of treating patients with advanced needs with other health issues as well. He After a couple months of being Dr. Budoff's patient, I have been more stable and lucid than ever. 14 months later I am still on the same solid path and doing even better, which is my longest streak of mind and body wellness yet. Well worth any distance in travel to his office. Thank you doctor Budoff."

"Dr. Budoff is an amazing man whom I put my full trust and care lies with when It comes to my needs. When it comes to East bruns He is very thorough and detail oriented and knows how to phrase things so I understand. He really is great at communication with his patients . I felt this from our initial consultation and from my last few years as his patient. He always takes the time to really understand the nature of your treatment course. I have confidence in his decisions and new treatment courses. He uses sound methods and always takes the time to explain changes or why things are they way they are in the brain chemicals. It helps to know the "why", sometimes. His staff is nice and polite always cheery, and accommodating to your needs. Dr. Budoff has more than once gone out of his way to see me and make room, or review some extra tests on short notice. He really cares about is patients, and that's someone I can trust my health to."
