    My name is "A" and I have been seeing Dr Gurfein ( Dr G) for about two years. She literally gave…read moreme my life back. I was hospitalized for Major Depressive Disorder for 5 weeks before I met her. At the end of step down treatment as an outpatient, I needed a provider and prescriber. Dr G reached out to me, I don't know she got my number - but thank God that she did. Dr G, always asked excellent questions - like, "why are you on this medication?" I often joked - "I have no idea, you're the Dr, you tell me!" I was on 7 meds leaving the Hospital and Outpatient treatment. Over a period of about 18 months, the Dr systematically synched up the meds to my psychiatric/therapy progress. As of a few weeks ago, I was only on one of the original 7 drugs. To my misfortune, I caught one of the very rare side-effects of that one remaining med - I became Manic. This ailment caused me to lose my filter and become a person that my family didn't recognize. I was a cool, calm and collected person prior to any of my mental health issues. I was the "Rock" that my immediate and extended Family depended on. Mania caused me to become unglued; wreaking havoc, and destroying many of the (sometimes) fragile bonds that kept the family together. The only way to describe it is that my new horrible personality was uncontrollable and my bad behaviors came out as involuntarily as blinking or sneezing. I was Jim Carrey in the movie Liar, Liar. Dr Gurfein was patient with me. She met with my family members to elicit their perspective on the disease and my behaviors. And in the end, as always - she figured it out synching up the appropriate meds with the therapy that was needed. My wonderful loving family - my Wife, my Sons, my Mother, my Sisters, my Father-in-Law, my Brother-in-Laws, and my Sister in Law was so distraught over my illness, especially because for several months earlier in the current year, I was the old rock solid me. I am writing this review this morning with a clear mind, and with no Manic symptoms. I continue to see Dr G and intend to continue our excellent partnership. I hope this feeling of serenity will last, but I know if it does not, I will rest well in the confidence that Dr G and myself will be able to solve any of my mental health issues. Thank You for reading my review - I know you will figure out who gave her the five star rating, lol! "A"

    I left an abusive relationship and told my ex to seek professional help in anger management. He…read morecalled Dr. Judy and made an appointment, in an attempt to get me back. She called me at midnight to invite me to attend the anger management appointment she had with my ex. When we got there, she first asked why I was there? I was perplexed, because she invited me to join this "anger management" session, so I explained that he is verbally abusive to me and started to become verbally abusive to my children. I would not tolerate that ever. I also explained his history of drug abuse, and aggressive behavior toward other women in his life - there is a pattern of violence, and his ex wife has a restraining order against him. Her advise to me? To keep in mind that "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.....it's just words" I felt sick! As a woman, never mind being a psychologist...she didn't acknowledge that domestic violence is a vicious cycle and it starts with verbal abuse. Shame on you Sr. Judy! I will never put myself or my children in that path of violence.
