For anyone already dealing with anxiety, depression, or other mental health concerns, I would strongly recommend being cautious before choosing this office. I booked through Zocdoc and later received a link to upload my insurance, ID, and other information. Then I received a call saying I needed to complete new patient paperwork. During that call, I was asked very personal and sensitive mental health questions, including questions about self-harm history and specific methods. These are questions I would expect to discuss with a doctor or trained clinician in a private and safe setting, not during a front-desk phone screening. It felt triggering and unprofessional. After the call, I was told I was good to go. I created an account in their portal and checked it carefully, but I did not see clear forms or instructions. The day before my appointment, I received a voicemail saying they had not received my paperwork, without clearly explaining what was missing. The next morning, my appointment was canceled, even though I had already taken time off work to attend. Before I even had a chance to meet the doctor, the process involved repeated steps, unclear communication, and a very stressful intake experience. For a psychiatry office, this matters. Patients seeking mental health care need a process that feels safe, organized, and supportive. Unfortunately, my experience made me feel dismissed and discouraged from seeking care there.

I had a very disappointing experience with Bright Horizon Psychiatry, particularly with Dr. Amir…read moreEtesam. I came to him with genuine fears and concerns about the medications he was prescribing, as I've had bad side effects in the past--including from one of the medications he prescribed me. Instead of working with me patiently, listening, and helping me find a safer or more comfortable path forward, he abruptly decided to terminate me as a patient. Being dismissed this way made me feel terrible. As a psychiatrist, I expected understanding and support, especially when it came to my hesitation around trying new medications. Instead, I was told to just go see a therapist, which completely overlooked the fact that my struggles are specifically tied to medication management. In my opinion, a psychiatrist should have compassion and patience for their patients' fears, especially when those fears are rooted in real negative experiences with medication. Unfortunately, I did not feel that with Dr. Etesam, and it left me feeling unsupported at a time when I needed care the most.

I can not give Dr. Forman enough praises as nothing seems to do him enough justice. He truly has it…read moreall!!! From the moment I met him, his professionalism, honesty, and willingness to try to help me with a prior bad breast surgery that had left me looking and feeling terrible was such a relief. His confidence and experience in breast implant revision gave me the courage to proceed with yet another implant exchange/ revision, my fourth in three years... he spent about an hour and a half with me on my 1st consult going over everything from my past failed surgeries to my expectations and his game plan. When I went in again with my husband, for a second consult, he was just as kind patient and honest about everything that we would need to do and what to expect, which gave both myself and my husband such a sense of relief. We knew we were in good hands, the hands of a highly trained skilled surgeon. Now here I am five weeks postop with great after care from his team and follow up apts. with Dr. Forman, and I couldn't be happier!!!! I can finally look in the mirror and smile now!!! Thank you so much Dr Forman!!! You will forever be my go to doctor with any upcoming cosmetic needs I may have and I will highly recommend you to everyone

Wow interesting, I see reviews for Dr. Friedman are all over the place. I just had my surgery a few…read moremonths ago, right before he retired. I had a septo-rhinoplasty, so both he and my ENT (who was also excellent) did the surgery together. I had a double deviated septum, nose was a little crooked, collapsed nasal passages, etc...the whole 9. I actually needed my nose widened and rebuilt with spreader graphs, and it was a success. My surgery was a piece of cake...I actually never really felt pain and didn't need my pain meds once home. While I got really nervous once the splint and banadages were off, after a couple of weeks when my nose settled, I LOVED the final result! I feel like this is the nose I was supposed to have, much more straight and beautiful!! IMO Dr. Friedman did a wonderful job. I was nervous as hell beforehand and right after (I mean it's a NOSE after all lol), but I love it. I was fine with his bedside manner, felt a tiny bit rushed at times but he is/was a very busy surgeon so... I felt like he was very honest with me. I had asked him about doing something to my nose that I wanted, and he looked me over and said he wouldn't recommend it because "people pay me a lot of money to have your nose." I was initially disappointed because I thought I could walk in there and presto get exactly what I wanted. His result was more subtle than what I asked for but it is beautiful and definitely a HUGE improvement from the before!!!! I was impressed with Plastic Surgery Institute of Washington, the staff was great and Karen was AWESOME (patient coordinator)... shout out to you Karen!!!! :)) All in all I had a good experience here!

Worst clinic ever in terms of a) treating patients who are suffering with compassion and far worse…read more2) total lack of understanding of "the standard 4-6 week booster" isn't effective for many trauma disorders including PTSD and emotional dysregulation. Most expensive, with full MDs on board, and they don't even get that. I was shocked, truly, as my well-respected psychiatrist is fully on board with an extremely conservative plan to treat trauma related issues without resorting to benzos. This clinic is great if you're the typical "treatment resistant depression" type. Just be aware - you can learn more about ketamine and trauma watching a single youtube video than these doctors; most expensive in area; and least accommodating to help with insurance reimbursement - avoid at all costs if trauma related. They will reinforce your trauma.

He is very kind and spends a lot of quality time with his patients. This sometimes makes him late for your appointment. Although, my appointment was 8:15, I was still waiting for him to finish with other patients. But, when you get your turn, he is understanding, a great listener, and really tries to personalize your treatment for your optimum healthcare. This time, Dr. Segal reminded me of my upcoming treatment at the Arise Infusion Center. The staff at this new office couldn't be nicer. Although, there was a little confusion on what room I should be in. But, that was corrected right away. They took labs and I was on my way.

I wish I had gone to him before spending a fortune on acupuncture which did not help me when I was suffering with bursitis. And then going to a physiatrist (pain management doctor) even though he gave me a shot of cortisone. Dr. Fishkin may very well may have cured that problem too. My son and daughter in law raved about him for a long time. I am so glad I went to him. Now I am having orthotics made by him. I have had two pairs of orthotics made in the last 4 years by podiatrists which did not relieve my pain at all. So, hopefully these might. I will follow up on that after I wear them for a while. Dr Fishkin is very direct and tells it like it is, and yet he is also very nice. He cared to be sure I was comfortable while getting the dry needling.

I came to this guy and our budget was tight, so he actually gave us a deal. The guy believes in medicinal cannabis instead of opioids. I took photos once to show an attorney how many needles I get. It was a lot. She dropped me anyway. FISHKIN ordered an MRI or two and was one of the doctors who said I have legit injuries in my neck and back. He was always super friendly and professional. You would have to undress which makes me uncomfortable from past trauma, but it was super professional. His wife, I think, works with him and does nutritional advice and meal plans. I was kind of interested but couldn't afford it. I just highly recommend this guy. He's NOT a quack. He's one of the good guys! Thanks so much. Update: I'm bed ridden for the most part. The back and neck got better, but a medical malpractice happened. I almost died. No, no one would take on a case against a top area doctor. I don't have the money for an attorney. I've been disabled 60 months (5 yrs). I have no income and I'm seeking alternative treatments that are not covered by my insurance company. I am morbidly obese and have signs of being diabetic. It is what it is. I am genuinely happy and grateful that I found this guy.

PLEASE read this!!…read more After years of working with a highly respected, well trained, older and more experienced acupuncturist, I was so overwhelmed and feeling so out of sorts, so upon the offer of services, I had an appointment with Alexandra (acupuncturist). She did a review of my situation from her medical tradition, or the acupuncture view of diagnosis, and she made a few comments, place a few needles (I didn't even feel them) and let me relax in her charming office for about 15 minuets. She returned, took the needles out, and told me to let her know how I felt later, or within the next 24 hours. On the hour long drive home, I felt something 'come up' in me. I could feel something that wanted to be released. Such an odd feeling, and at the same time I felt that whatever was coming up was going to feel better once allowed to be freed. So many things happened...my tongue felt like a cotton pillow, a sort of anger seemed to be brewing, only it all felt perfect and normal. I had never had such a reaction to any treatment, so it was all very interesting and I felt like something really amazing was taking place for me. That feeling was very supported and genuine so I was able to just let the experience unfold. I won't go into all the details, however, the important point is that after this treatment, I felt better than I had in the last few years! I wished I had found Alexandra sooner because I think that would have allowed me to heal faster. Thinking of myself as a person who had a lot of experience with acupuncture I never expected to have such a profound healing because in all my past sessions with other practitioners nothing close to this experience had ever come close to happening. NOT all acupuncturists are alike. Alexandra actually took the opportunity to travel to china to learn even more, and she continues to learn more and more about healing systems. As I have gotten to know her, I have discovered her deep intention to assist others in their journey to health and happiness. I am exceedingly impressed and in fact relieved to have discovered an acupuncturist who is so gifted and truly interested in assisting me to be better! It is so refreshing to me to discover that I really didn't know so much about acupuncture after recommending it to many many people over the last 20 years. Alexandra has opened a whole new view to me about how acupuncture benefits us...not through conversation, but through treatment that really works! Without hesitation, I recommend Alexandra acupuncture to anyone! Mostly, those who think they have a wonderful practitioner already, because as I have already stated, not all acupuncturists are equal. After more than 20 years of working with acupuncturists, I find Alexandra to be the most skilled and caring practitioner I've worked with. She is so gentle, kind, young, knowledgeable, supportive....and SKILLED....and I am very grateful to have found her. Don't delay....call her, go see her, and take your loved ones too. S.

We decided to try acupuncture as a last resort due to some life changing events. The combination of Alexandra's personable and charming personality, her desire to turn you into your own healing machine and the benefits of acupuncture have dramatically changed my energy levels, thinking, clarity, calmness, contentment levels and decreased my sadness levels. Plus its super easy to make and cancel appointments online without having to call and Alexandra is very accommodating. I must mention that everyone is different and I felt the different in me right away whereas it took my husband three treatments. Overall we have been attending this clinic for about 2 months every week (since we choose to do so) I can't say enough about this clinic and the treatment. You WONT be disappointed!
