*First & foremost if you need a Suboxone prescriber & DO HAVE medical insurance I have a long list of several legitimate & caring professionals (both of which Saltzman is not) who submit office visits through insurance.
*If you DO NOT have medical insurance, I can give you a list just as long of providers who charge HALF OR LESS the amount that she does for not only the initial consultation, but for the monthly visits afterward.
Secondly I am 3 years clean & sober, use the 12-steps of recovery in my daily life, and have a sponsor & a CASAC therapist with decades of professional experience. Yes Saltzman has a counselor onsite for individual/group therapy, & yes recovery via Suboxone has a higher success rate when combined with those things..but you do not need to get it here. **BE WARY OF REVIEWS BY PEOPLE WHO HAVENT OBTAINED ACTIVE YELP ACCOUNTS**
When I stopped seeing her and wrote an honest review on Yelp, she relentlessly contacted Yelp over and over again to have the reviews removed. In addition, she's manipulated others into writing positive reviews.
I requested my records multiple times about a year ago (and haven't received them to date). After discovering that I left her practice, she looked up my name in the NYS prescription database to find my new doctors name, and contacted him, AND ADVISED HIM NOT TO TREAT ME. Whatever she must have said during that conversation is, I'm sure, an absolute total law breaker. It was then that I retained an attorney. After his cease and desist letter, she still did not send me my records.
She is in violation of so many codes of conduct not just medically, but ethically. Not only has she withheld my medical records, but she's given my full name out to anonymous callers along with false information, and defamed my character (to say the least) spreading extremely serious accusations. Read your mail & keep track of your appointments/receipts/records.
For 2 years, I suffered through her money-hungry, insensitive "practice" not to mention wasted literally thousands of dollars on trips to her office. Suboxone is an absolute miracle and when used correctly we are certainly on the frontier of a breakthrough in opiate addiction...but I remind you: SHE IS NOT YOUR ONLY OPTION.
People, this is insane. I would have no reason to write any of this unless it actually happened to me. I am in total disbelief that a medical "professional"..who supposedly took AN OATH...has conducted herself in this way. I am not the only one that she has treated like this, and I have several past employees who have contacted me since leaving her office that have agreed with me. And have actually confirmed the above including her reaching out to my new doctor and advising him not to treat me.
I encourage anyone who's had the same experience to write an honest review without fear of backlash from this witch. I can't stress this enough..there are others who you can see! She would never survive in a small town w/ a population any less than NYC. She might get first-time patients who are oblivious, but she'll never keep repeat ones if she doesn't start conducting her business with morals & ethics. read more
