No One should have to deal with Noreen the office staff. How dare an unlicensed and unqualified individual demand personal information any time a patient calls and asks that the doctor call them.
She also makes broad inaccurate statements.
She demands that the person drive to the office to pick up scripts on her time, never considering the hectic life the person might be struggling with.
I read other reviews and can honestly say that she is either evil or mentally ill. Maybe both.

Dr. Garfinkle is the second psychiatrist I've met with, and has been a much better doctor. He is somewhat awkward, but is very knowledgable about medications and their side effects. He's conservative in his treatment and doesn't write prescriptions willy-nilly, and has always been prompt returning calls. He's much more clinical than a psychologist or therapist. I've made significant recovery after almost a year of treatment.

Dr. Garfinkel is knowledgeable in his field, somewhat of an awkward conversationalist, and thoroughly professional. The worst aspect of seeing this psychiatrist is his secretary, who is others will likely experience as cold and patronizing.

I saw Dr. Garfinkel for 4 years while I was in college. He is very professional and helpful with all of the questions I had. His receptionist is also extremely friendly and welcoming.

Hostel environment to try and get better.
Im in complete shock and disgust at how this office treats and talks to paying patients that are just trying to get better. Im not an angry person, and im not a spiteful person but the way this receptionist and this doctor have treated me has left a horrible taste in my mouth.
I worked as an office administrator for a doctors office for 3 years and I never would've treated anyone the way I was treated on multiple occasions.
