My experience with dr Goldenberg has been exceptional. My Insurance does not cover it , but it is well worth having a psychiatrist that fully understands medications and understands the importance of letting the patient have input on what medication he/she feels comfortable with instead of pushing a single "best" med . Previously my psychiatrists would always tell me how bad certain behaviors or feelings were . Dr Goldenberg does not make you feel guilty about things you have done or thoughts you have . There is an issue , okay let's address it instead of making you feel even worse about things. Dr Goldenberg is always quick to respond through email and educates you about the side effects you may experience so you are not thinking what the heck is going on here ? Long story short He does his job really well . He is not a psychologist do not expect therapy . But he is there for his patients ready to answer your emails And give you options when it comes to meds . He makes himself available and easy to contact . read more

Dr. Goldenberg is a highly trusted colleague, effective psychiatrist, and respectful provider. I have worked with him for a few years to date, in a variety of treatment settings including residential treatment, intensive outpatient and day treatment, and private practice outpatient settings. I'm a psychologist that works with personality disorder and trauma, and I continue to refer clients to him due to the high quality of care he provides and expert consultation. When Dr. Goldenberg takes a case, he engages in ongoing consultation with all treatment providers to ensure consistency, continuity of care, and overall highly effective treatment all around. He never assumes authority over any other provider, and engages with each as colleagues supporting each other's work for the best outcome for a client. As a colleague, he is an invaluable resource on every case he works on. All of my clients have reported very positive experiences and successful outcomes with their treatment with him. They often report he is highly respectful of their needs and wishes, never pressures any client to take medication or engage in an intervention, and offers multiple options and perspectives on how to achieve their goals. He is very kind and approachable, and clients report they trust him to work in their best interests and feel very safe in his care. If you are a client or a referring provider, Dr. Goldenberg will certainly exceed your expectations and provide expert care and supportive treatment. read more

i am very surprised with all 5 Star reviews posted. My son ended up in emergency room after a tele - visit with dr. Goldenberg. ER doctor clearly stated that my son's condition is related to a high dose of the medication that dr. Goldenberg put him on. After a few days, dr. Goldenberg charged my credit card for another visit that my son did not attend to. I dont understand HOw he expected to truat him with his medical skills to treat my son again after what happened before. it looks like money comes first to him and not the patient's well being. Please think twice before putting your health in his hands. read more

I'm a psychologist in West LA who has collaborated with Dr. Goldenberg in successfully treating several patients from diverse backgrounds and with a wide variety of presenting issues.

Dr. Goldenberg has been a pleasure to work with. As a psychologist in the field for 20 years, I've collaborated with many psychiatrists and many of those experiences have left much to be desired. It's so hard to find a psychiatrist who takes the time to really understand individuals for all of their complexities, rather than just focusing on "patient symptoms." Dr. Goldenberg has helped dozens of my clients gain clarity regarding their diagnosis and appropriate medications that will be effective, but non-addictive. His bed-side manners and overall approach to psychiatry are admirable. I would feel confident sending family members to him. read more
