Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Aronov is a wonderful and brilliant Dr.

She doesn’t only prescribe meds, she has a full session with you, really listens and gives me direction or the extra help to get going. It’s very easy to talk to her. I’m grateful that she is on my team.

I found Dr. Aranov on google to help with anxiety, OCD and slight depression. We had multiple virtual visits via Facetime. To be honest I wasn't sure if that approach was right for me but I decided to give it a chance and she was wonderful! She decided to put me on supplements that helped my symptoms tremendously. If I needed further help she would have prescribed the necessary medication. We had great conversations and I feel a huge improvement in myself after multiple visits. I highly recommend her if you need some help managing the stresses of everyday life.

Knowledgeable, compassionate, accommodating
Telehealth
I have been a patient of Dr. Aranov for many years and in addition to being kind & empathetic, Dr. Aranov offers practical guidance as part of her treatment. She does not prescribe meds unnecessarily & has taken a more holistic approach to my treatment than other Drs. I have seen. She is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to vitamin supplements & lifestyle guidance that enhances her traditional therapy—which is effective. Her fees are fair and I continue to benefit from her spot-on feedback. Highly recommend.

Simply the best
Telehealth
Dr. Aronov has been my psychiatrist since I was 22, and now at 41, I can’t imagine my mental health journey without her. She helped me overcome severe OCD and supported me through marriage, two kids, and life’s ups and downs. She genuinely cares about her patients, always putting them first—even reaching out to me during a crisis last year while she was overseas for a family emergency. She’s incredibly responsive, compassionate, and dedicated. Telehealth has made appointments even more convenient and I look forward to them. She is simply the best! I was surprised to see any negative reviews, as they do not reflect her character or professionalism. Yes, seeing a psychiatrist can be expensive, but her care and expertise is worth every penny. She is fantastic, and I am so thankful for how far she has helped me come in managing my mental illness. I hope she never retires! Doctors like her are irreplaceable. I am so thankful for her. Her level of care is rare nowadays!

Scammed my father
Telehealth
This medication doctor took thousands of dollars from my father and didn't once prescribe his necessary medications. She essentially charged 400 dollars per hour for incompetent talk therapy. She should not be in practice. Absolutely disgraceful and shameful, praying on an old man.

Help after the pandemic....
Dr Aronov used genetic testing so she could come up with a personalized plan just for me. She listened to what I was going through after the pandemic, and helped me get out of a very dark place. I would recommend her to anyone looking for help with anxiety and/or depression. Thank you Dr Aronov.

Ever since I've been working with Dr. Aranov, my life has changed tremendously. I've had previous experiences, but Dr. Aranov is the best one I've come across. Her approach in her sessions targets my main concerns in areas of my life and she delivers with great understanding and provides holistic and psychological reasoning. I had gain new knowledge and perspective about myself and she ask important questions that made me think. She emphasizes the importance of mental health because I was struggling with substance abuse and she helped me become sober. I've also had a decrease in my medication and we plan to decrease it gradually. She is very respectful and I am able to trust her in which is difficult for me. She has help me so much and now my life is back on track- sober free and living up to my dreams and goals that had been paused due to my substanced abuse. I am a year sober now and I am much happier and my family life and relationships are harmonious and I have better relationships

Dr. Aronov is a very kind and compassionate person. She is extremely supportive during various stages and stressful life events. She is concerned about your overall well-being, treating you like a person and not just a diagnosis. She prescribed medication when need but doesn’t just assume that’s the answer. I appreciate all that Dr. Aronov has done and continues to do for me.

Dr. Aronov is a warm and caring psychiatrist who does more that just prescribe medications. Unlike other professionals in her line of medicine, Dr. Aronov takes the time to speak with you about your well being and ways to improve it, including discussing mifestyle and environment changes, work changes, social changes, etc. For a full, complete level of treatment, I 100% recommend Dr. Aronov.

Dr Aronov is amazing. She has helped make progress I never thought was possible. She is very caring and compassionate. I am so thankful I found her when I did, I was at my rock bottom and felt completely hopeless. She has helped me regain strength and confidence in myself. She is a great listener- neutral and non biased, which is so important to me. She is also very easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable. I would recommend her to my own family and friends.

I initially met with Dr Aronov when I was going through a personal crisis. I can't tell you enough of how she helped me at a time when I was at an all time low. I saw her regularly at first and found her so easy to talk to. I came away after each visit with a feeling of optimism. She got me through a time of "despair".

Over the last few years, Dr. Aronov has helped me to not only feel better physically and about myself, but in many other ways. Her knowledge, understanding, skill and compassion make her an incredible psychiatrist and individual. Dr. Aronov is ethical, helpful, intuitive and is not judgmental. In addition to having a true understanding and skill for helpful / safe prescribing, she is also extremely easy to talk to and clearly cares about helping her patients feel better and achieve their goals.

I have been a patient of Dr. Aronov’s for over 4 years. One of the best decisions I made was putting Garden City Psychiatrists in the search area of my Insurance Provider’s website, because her name came up first. I called and she provided what I needed, compassion and help. She is professional and information. She made me understand what was happening and how to cope. Although I hate the term “Shrink”, it truly fits my experience. A Doctor that shrinks your symptoms and problems. The best!

Excellent Psychiatrist, Compassionate, Kind I first called Dr. Aronov with feelings of intense anxiety after a panic attack. She was readily available and upon meeting her I had feelings of trust and that she really cared about me as a person. She is very thorough and explains everything in a way that I can understand. She placed me on probiotics and vitamins. I was diagnosed with an anxiety disorder called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have made tremendous progress with handling my anxiety.

Insincere, incompetent, defensive, didn't keep track of my medications properly, pushed me to book appointments beyond my insurance limits and then demanded cash for them. Talked incessantly about her own family problems and life in Uzbekistan rather than focusing on my issues. Coldly told me to go to the ER when I was in crisis. Made me wait outside in my car when she was late for appointments. Horrible experience.
