I have been suffering from depression for 15 years, maybe longer. In my quest for being NOT depressed, I saw so many professionals, all with Manged Health Care Facilities, all with inadequate care. We switched providers, and even met one Doctor (review later) who said although he prescribed anti-depressants (liar) he told me he WOULDN'T! and to go see a pychiatrist. I said O.K, , did he have a referral or two? No. Cold as ice.\r
\r
I didn't care if we could afford this help or not. I called Dr. Orenstein's office and told his assistant, Marla- begging for a right away appointment, because I had reached a level of agoraphobia. He stayed late for me, an unknown-as this is a man who understands mental health. His follow up was strict because he wanted to me to be well, this is the man he is. Some things worked and others did not, but in a short period of time I began to heal. \r
I could write a book, but he ALWAYS asks the right questions. His notes are so meticulous-he'll remind me of our last visit (I see him every 8 weeks now, down from bi-monthly) and what I was up to at that time, and ask's what has changed/why, too. I sometimes was caught off guard. He NEVER wastes a penny of my time and truly just prompt always for appointments. I love Dr. Orenstein, and I was blessed.\r

You don't need to search anymore. (And, he's not a Dr. Feelgood.) He's simply the best, and I should know.\r

I'm thankful I was able to review Dr. Herbert Orenstein.
