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.

Title: Caring and Insightful Review: I have worked with Dr.Goldstone for many years. She is fantastic! She has helped me enormously through many challenges I have faced. She really goes the extra mile, even visiting me in the hospital, coordinating with my other doctors and making phone calls to check up on me during difficult periods. She is caring, thoughtful, insightful and dedicated. Dr. Goldstone does both therapy and prescribing medications She is a wonderful listener and takes the time to really understand.She is always available for questions and discussion, and is extremely supportive. I feel so lucky that I found her.

Dr. Goldstone is the best of the best. She really listens to me and is always respectful of my feelings. She is compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental. Her manner makes it easy for me to feel comfortable confiding in her. She asks thoughtful questions that help me get to the root of my problems and work through my dilemmas. She is conscientious and professional. I am impressed by her depth of knowledge and intelligence and am constantly amazed by her insights. She has much wisdom to share

Working with Dr. Goldstone was excellent. She helped our family when we received a diagnosis of OCD and did so with great respect, kindness, thoughtfulness, and wisdom. She was terrific in helping us understand the diagnosis and our treatment options, including the need to adapt BCT and how to use Prozac effectively. Dr. Goldstone was the person who made the diagnosis way less scary and enabled to mi e forward with learning to live with the disorder. She was terrific!

Dr. Goldstone was a good psychiatrist at first for getting me out of crises. After that, it felt she was manipulative, forceful, and vocal about issues in my life where she didn't really have merit to be speaking. She forced me to see a psychologist SHE knew, even though I had a very healthy and productive relationship with someone else already in place. She intimidated me, made grand assumptions about my recovery, and left me feeling powerless. I was desperate when I found her. I wish I hadn't.
