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.

very detailed initial evaluation
Detailed questioning. Really felt he understood the symptoms and the history of my problems. Great with Meds found the proper combo after trying multiple drugs with many drs.

I've been seeing Dr Teitelbaum for 8 years. I've been through multiple psychiatrists before him but he was the only one who seemed to get me. He's very helpful, seems to know exactly what medications will work for me, actually listens, and adapts to my needs. He has a lot of experience and is very intelligent so I trust him to make the right choices regarding my mental health. He's gotten me out of a lot of problems. He cured my opiate and alcohol addiction and when I was being harassed by CPS due to my past, he wrote them a very detailed letter about the progress I made and how I'm a caring mother which really helped me and my family alot. He didn't have to do that either but he did because he cares about his patients. He doesn't just seeing psychiatry as a job, it's a passion to him and he's not just in it for the money. He's very accommodating to everyone's needs and schedules. I feel that he's helped improve me as a person. I highly recommend him to anyone!

Highly Recommended 5 Stars! Dr. Louis Teitelbaum has been treating me for 17 years and is a wonderful, caring doctor who truly shows a genuine concern for his patients. He not only asks many pertinent questions about my well being, but also follows up promptly with my insurance company in a timely manner and prescribes the correct medications to make my quality of like so much better. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable as well.

spends only 10 minutes in office consultation time. Once every 3 months. I feel I'm not getting any help that I need.
