He is very kind, understanding and truly cares about me. In 2015 I lost my oldest daughter to an overdose , then in 2017 I also lost my oldest son, same way. Dr. Berkowitz helped me to get through this, he told me I'll never get over it but I've mamanged to be able to live and enjoy my life with my 3 other children and 4 granddaughters. I was on the verge of sucide! Dr. Berkowitz truly showed me compassion and sympathy. He actually took the time to talk to me and to tell me that my other children and granddaughters deserved to have a Mother that wasn't crying and sad all the time because that hurt them and they were also suffering from the loss of their siblings. I had to be strong enough to keep my family together. They needed me. Also advised me to get to grief groups, which I do go to and it helps tremendously knowing that I'm not the only one in this terrible and painful position. I love him, he is an awesome and caring Dr. He actually took the time to talk to me, when other Dr.'s just write prescriptions and rush you out. I'm very upset because he is retiring, but I'm also happy for him.I pray that I can find another Dr. that can fill his shoes, I know that I will miss him trmendously! He told me although he is retiring I can call him anytime if I needed to talk, he gave me his personal cell phone number. God Bless Dr. Berkowitz and I hope he enjoys his retirement and gets to travel a lot more. He loves traveling with his wife and friends. I can't say enough about what a wonderful, caring man he is!!!

Doctor Russell Ferstandig saved my life. This is a powerful and true statement. I was addicted to…read moreopiates, and was putting myself in dangerous situations, doc shopping etc to get what I needed. I was 100% convinced I didnt have the strength, courage or will power to stop taking opiates. That all changed September 7, 2014, my 1st meeting with Doctor Russ. He immediately put me at ease, spent well over 2 hours understanding my situation, and discussing his process and care he will provide to safely get me off opiates forever. I knew I had finally found the right Doctor as he genuinely cares about his patients and goes to "above and beyond" to ensure their success in overcoming addiction. I had met with 3 different, highly rated Doctors in NYC, who spent 10 minutes with me, prescribed Suboxone, with no further instructions or counseling. Each time I relapsed, and fell further into my addiction Doctor Russ explained his process, and the importance of following it for a successful outcome. Additionally he educated me on Suboxone and how and when to consume for ideal results. He coupled medicine with counseling, which was the key to his success rates. He is very humble, and doesnt share that he has the highest success rates with no relapses. He cares more about helping you understand and overcome the reason that lead to your addiction. As our sessions continued he prescribed and anti-depressant as I was in denial of how much my depression was sabotaging my life. As our sessions continued, I realized, he was dedicated to ensuring not only my success in overcoming my addition, but also rebuilding an enriched life. I find it amazing how he is able to remember and build upon each of our sessions. I thank God every day for Doctor Russ. He listens, never judges, provides guidance to build a great life and never watches the clock. I have gone well over my scheduled hour, and never received additional billing, I have been opiate free for 4 years, and continue weekly sessions as they make me a better person. In summary, Doctor Russ saved my life and to this day, provides the incredible insights and counseling to rebuilding a better life and self.

I am writing this review to help others and to warn others or anyone wanting this Doctor's care. I…read moreformally express my extreme distress and concern regarding the medical care provided to my late husband, who tragically passed away at 51 years old due to cardiac arrest approximately three weeks after his last visit to your office, where my husband was your patient for over 5 years while entrusted to your care, and you failed him. He was a walking time bomb with three blocked coronary arteries at 97%, an enlarged heart, and arteriosclerosis. If you would of been proactive as all diabetic patients are at increased risk of heart disease he would be here today but instead you left me a single Mom with 3 children. I was shocked and deeply disturbed when, during my phone call to you informing you of his death, I asked you why, with Type 2- Diabetes and a family history of heart disease, you did not send my 51-year-old husband to a cardiologist. Your answer, "HE HAD NO SYMPTOMS," SO BASICALLY YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN PREVENTATIVE CARE. Then, to my surprise, despite having his records, they show otherwise. The apparent alteration of medical records to cover up this serious omission is unacceptable and deeply troubling, as it is easy to do since you are not electronic; you still take notes on paper. It is highly concerning that your practice still relies on handwritten notes rather than electronic health records, which allows for record manipulation. I urge you to reflect on the serious consequences your lack of thoroughness has had on my family, and I hope you will consider retiring before any other lives are needlessly endangered. Furthermore, I was also a patient of yours for hyperthyroidism, and during my treatment, you never thoroughly examined my neck for nodules or checked my eyes. This negligence in basic preventative care only reinforces the lack of diligence in your practice, which tragically contributed to my husband's death. Sad but I am not the only one that has said this and knows of you Dr. Birnbaum. I dont write this reveiw lightly but with complete facts behind it SHAME ON YOU how do you life with yourself?

Originally posted 4/2023:…read more Please, if you value your mental health, DO NOT GO HERE. Right now I'm being retroactively charged for appointments from MONTHS AGO. I've paid my co-pays but still this practice is demanding money that I don't owe and refuses to connect me with my psychiatrist while I am in the middle of tapering off my medication (this is a HUGE danger to my health and well-being). UPDATE: I had to go for a psych eval. at the ER a few weeks ago because I was having such horrible mental side effects after having to taper off my medicines WITH ZERO medical guidance. This practice has lied to me multiple times. They have told me my health insurance hasn't paid anything out (a lie, I have an explanation of benefits that proves my insurance paid what they were supposed to). Then I was lied to again and was told the PA-C I've been seeing has been out-of-network the whole time, even though I've been charged the in-network rate for months. I love the PA-C I've been seeing (Christina Tallone), but unfortunately cannot tolerate such a LYING, RUDE, and DISRESPECTFUL office staff, namely the office manager, who decided to suddenly tell me when I was on the phone with her, "We're not taking your insurance anymore," all because she was annoyed with me. They outright refused to send me a letter confirming this. The office manager also lied to me about HIPAA compliance; when I tried to get my partner on the phone to talk to the office manager because I was getting too upset to carry on with the conversation as she kept interrupting me, she claimed I was violating HIPAA even though I gave express verbal consent that my partner was allowed to talk about my situation on the phone with them. Under HIPAA, formal authorization is not needed to disclose patient payment information; verbal consent from the patient is enough. So really they violated HIPAA... UPDATE: In another attempt to extort money from me, the office staff purposefully and wrongfully billed my secondary insurance company (THE WRONG ONE) which I previously specified does not pay out for mental health. This practice should not even be in operation. I hope to see them shut down one day. No one should have to go through what I'm going through with them.

Beware! I had my…read moreintake appointment with this practice and made my first appointment to begin therapeutic sessions for the following week. I showed up for my first appointment and waited for 45 minutes before I got up to ask what's wrong. Turns out that they just completely forgot all about me. Despite having my appointment card (in their handwriting), they just didn't seem to care at all and suggested that I refer to the "Psychology Today" website to find a different clinician. Very bizarre. I had just been discharged from an Intensive Outpatient Program (and a psychiatric hospital before that) and these people just completely ghosted me. I got the impression that the clinicians at Mindful Solutions aren't really up to the task of treating severe psychiatric disorders. Nice work, Mindful Solutions [/sarcasm].

Mindful solutions has deteriorated the barrier I had regarding self help, and they have shown me wonders. For many years I was bound by the shackles of anxiety, abnormal thought processes, depression and even dissociation. Mindful solutions had immediately began unearthing origins of my aliments within minutes of my first session, and in that same moment I started feeling weight being lifted off my shoulders. The therapists here (mine is CBT), had never missed a beat in the rhythm analysis and client/therapist relationships, effortlessly. The front end is tirelessly motivated to get you the help that you need, due to an onboarding screening service they find a therapist or help tailored specifically for you and your needs, a service and companionship unprecedented in my experiences. If you or a loved one is struggling to any capacity, please follow up with mindful solutions. From the very moment I picked up the phone with shaking hands, to this day I have been treated well, fair and with a tremendous respect and confidentiality. My life has been illuminated with new lights never before seen in my eyes, and I wish the same for you. Please, do not hesitate. Call mindful solutions, and make the change in your life you may never thought to be possible.

So, they give you one of these Dr's to make sure your body is running like a well oiled engine. Dr. Brouder happens to be the lucky Dr that got me for a patient. I kinda felt bad for him because I am not the easiest of patients when under stress and I always have a gazillion questions, posed in different ways so that I "GET" what is being said. Dr. Brouder visited me in the hospital and right away he out me at ease, he was very nice, went over all the things that needed to be checked, tests I was going to have and really had a nice soft understanding nature about him. I liked it, because he also took my family into consideration and made it so that family understood what was going on as well. I had a follow-up appointment with him after I was out of the hospital and that was also a very easy going relaxed experience. His staff is very professional, friendly and polite, great front office staff as well as back of the house crew, my great appreciation. Obviously, I will be having more future visits to this office and I can honestly say, I am not dreading it, because the staff as a whole, treats you as a person and patient, not a number or a dollar sign, you may have to wait a bit in the lobby when it comes to appointment times, but sometimes some appointments take longer that are ahead of you, so I was cool with that since I didn't feel rushed once it was my turn.
