Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

he didn't care
not a good doctor to me. I did not like his approach. he didn't listen to me. he didn't care about the side effects I kept reporting at all. he didn't care that the medicine wasn't working either.

Understands complicated cases including traumatic
Dr Litwin is an excellent psychiatrist. My loved one has a very complicated case which includes a traumatic brain injury component. Dr Litwin helped her and she felt heard by him. We wish him all the best.

ABSOLUTE HACK! FRAUD! he thinks his job is simple!
Author of 'Psychiatry made Simple' prescribed me SIXTY EIGHT bottles of pills in EIGHT months with NO success! He failed to prescribe me the medicine I told him would work, though. He was all hooked on outshining my former neuropsychiatrist from Columbia, though, and in doing so, he really messed things up and ended up leaving the organization due to BURN OUT after 8 months! He's a burnt out DUD! He should be sitting around a circle at BOOKER... not RUNNING the friggin place! He's all fried and tainted! He calls himself 'a doctor' - for now.

Genuine, down to earth, great listener. Qualities that I seek in a good friend - that’s what Dr. Litwin brings to the table. Combine those qualities with his experience and education - priceless. Highly recommend to anyone.

If he lets you get a word in that would be nice. All he cares about is billing insurance almost $300 for a so called “therapeutic session which consisted of a 15 minute conversation and about ten dollars worth of medicine in his draw. Guy is a real class act, he didn’t even had my file with him the lady at the desk bought it to him while he was just going on from his memory, he did had a folder though to pretend it was mine. It’s 50/50 with him he can help you but also not the best

My experience with Dr. Litwin was excellent. I saw him when he was a psychiatrist at CPC in Freehold. He went up and beyond what was required. He addressed my many physical issues which were impacting my mental health. He understood we are not separate parts, but a whole person. He addressed my various neuropathies and facial pain/trigeminal neuralgia/TMG, which were having a very detrimental affect on me. He also spent more than the allotted time when it was necessary. I highly recommend him.
