I highly recommend Dr. Michael Binder. One of the qualities I value most is his availability--he is…read morealways responsive when I need him and is quick to return calls or schedule an appointment. Dr. Binder takes a thoughtful, holistic approach to care. He is an excellent listener and provides insightful, practical advice in language that is easy to understand. I especially appreciate how carefully he considers medications and their potential effects and works with me to develop a treatment plan. He respects my pace, listens when something doesn't feel right, and thoughtfully considers what approach may best meet my individual needs. After trying different medications for depression, Dr. Binder was able to lead me to one that has freed me of depression. It has changed my life. I am very grateful for his guidance, perspective, and compassionate care. I would highly recommend Dr. Binder to anyone seeking psychiatric care.

I feel so LUCKY to have found Dr. Binder! After a lifetime of old-fashioned treatments, SSRI/SNRIs…read morethat would cause more harm than good, no progress, but any doctor ever seen jumping straight to another, I felt done. Dr. Binder's knowledge is so insightful! He was able to explain WHY many had struggles with these go-to antidepressants! Hereditary Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and adding PTSD, he is up to date on ALL options available and knowledgeable how they work on the brain (neurology and psychiatry, perfect pair!).. He is quick to reach when needed, and after many doctors kept "giving up" on me and labeling me as "treatment resistent", Binder continues to work WITH me as we carefully follow the trail of what types of medications seem to help, which makes things worse, which does nothing, etc! I feel heard and affirmed, and this doctor is NOT "one size fits all"! He really looks at the INDIVIDUAL's needs! With him, you don't go through secretaries or others, but rather speak RIGHT with him every single time! My former doctor was retiring, and I was in a desperate state trying to find a doctor to continue treatment I was already on, and unfortunately during a holiday weekend. I left many messages to so many doctors, and finally tired Binder.. and he called me on a Holiday within 10 minutes! I am SO GRATEFUL! The doctor/patient relationship is incredibly important to make progress, and I see a few others who did not like one thing or another, and this is normal! FOR ME, I appreciate him knowing my comfort zones and working WITH me, hearing MY thoughts and how I'm doing.. I am blown away in amazement at all he's taught me! THANK YOU, DR. BINDER, FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!

She was complaining to me about another patient, asking me questions irrelevant to our discussion; I found this unprofessional. She then wanted to start me on high doses of medications which had side effects, when she could have started at lower doses, as common sense would dictate. Instead of answering my phone calls regarding side effects, she texted me. Then proceeded to tell me texts were not preferred due to liability reasons. Needless to say, as a healthcare professional, I did not find her competent. I would not recommend wasting time, energy on this MD. Get a list from your insurance company of many!

I saw this Dr. at his Chicago office for well over a year... though I don't know why I stayed…read more with him for so long. Oh yeah, I was too lazy to try and find someone else on the right health insurance. My first complaint would be that when he writes prescriptions, he never writes for refills, thus ensuring that you will be back for future appointments to get refill prescriptions. My 2nd point would be, though I realize that psychiatrists today do very little counseling and are mostly for medication, with Dr. Greendale, he is ONLY for medication... do not expect any counseling. Also, he is only in the Chicago office one day a week, so it is always challenging to get in.

She drags it out to milk as much money out of you as possible. She is condescending and rude. She wanted us to go to her once a week at- if my memory serves me correctly- $800 an appointment. She claims she doesn't use insurance because it's too much messing around- it's not. It's so she can make as much money as possible because she knows desperate families will pay anything to get help. When my son had a SEVERE reaction to a medication she put him on, she refused to even speak to me on the phone about it and demanded I make another $800 appointment to even discuss it. Absolutely criminal. She also posts ads in Facebook groups and blocks anyone that comments with their negative reviews. For the love of all things holy, stay far, far away. She's in it for the money.
