Dr. Melvyn Lurie, MD

I have had a very good relationship with Dr. Lurie as my psychiatrist. He has been wonderful to me over the past year 1/2 as I went through a very difficult time, with many family issues negatively affecting my emotional status. He has always there for me when needed, and he has responded every time I ask him a question inside and outside the bounds of the appt. time ( As he is available 24/7 by text. He has been a lifesaver. Not quite sure what these other people are looking for??? Can only suspect some ppl upset he does not accept insurance and then do not get the answer/med they want?? That is not what u get psychiatric care for. it’s about the Dr. making decision about what is needed to try and/or discard for treatment options. He has opened my eyes to my years-long issues with/slip into alcoholism, which runs in my family. If he had not confronted me & made it a priority for me to see that I’m not sure that I ever would recognized it myself. He saved my life.

This guy needs to be committed to a psych hospital as a patient, not work in one. He has a bunch of screws lose and I think he actually enjoys hurting people. His coworkers can't stand him and don't even hide it from each other or patients. Only the state would hire and keep employed such a horrible person and as the other reviewer said, a quack.. Stay away from him if you are under his care. If you have a family member under his care, get them out.

He's a quack, pure and simple. He doesn't listen to patient problems, and goes behind their backs and changes things without discussing them or receiving a patient's consent. When you refuse to take his prescribed meds, he reverts to threats and intimidation.
