Doctor Russell Ferstandig saved my life. This is a powerful and true statement. I was addicted to…read moreopiates, and was putting myself in dangerous situations, doc shopping etc to get what I needed. I was 100% convinced I didnt have the strength, courage or will power to stop taking opiates. That all changed September 7, 2014, my 1st meeting with Doctor Russ. He immediately put me at ease, spent well over 2 hours understanding my situation, and discussing his process and care he will provide to safely get me off opiates forever. I knew I had finally found the right Doctor as he genuinely cares about his patients and goes to "above and beyond" to ensure their success in overcoming addiction. I had met with 3 different, highly rated Doctors in NYC, who spent 10 minutes with me, prescribed Suboxone, with no further instructions or counseling. Each time I relapsed, and fell further into my addiction Doctor Russ explained his process, and the importance of following it for a successful outcome. Additionally he educated me on Suboxone and how and when to consume for ideal results. He coupled medicine with counseling, which was the key to his success rates. He is very humble, and doesnt share that he has the highest success rates with no relapses. He cares more about helping you understand and overcome the reason that lead to your addiction. As our sessions continued he prescribed and anti-depressant as I was in denial of how much my depression was sabotaging my life. As our sessions continued, I realized, he was dedicated to ensuring not only my success in overcoming my addition, but also rebuilding an enriched life. I find it amazing how he is able to remember and build upon each of our sessions. I thank God every day for Doctor Russ. He listens, never judges, provides guidance to build a great life and never watches the clock. I have gone well over my scheduled hour, and never received additional billing, I have been opiate free for 4 years, and continue weekly sessions as they make me a better person. In summary, Doctor Russ saved my life and to this day, provides the incredible insights and counseling to rebuilding a better life and self.

Sarah George the therapist is extremely unprofessional. The first visit I had, she was very edgy…read morewhen I asked if I would have to wait awhile every visit for my appointment. I work on my laptop and like to utilize all time I have. The second visit, I came in for my therapy appointment with a full blown anxiety panic attack, I was crying and super uncomfortable in my own skin. She told me to tone it down and when I looked at her confused and questioned what she had just said to me, she escorted me out of her office to leave. My therapy appointed lasted about 5 minutes. I ended up going to the ER right after with an anxiety attack. I do not agree on her tactics as a therapist. She does not know how to calm someone down during an anxiety attack. I will not go back here ever again.

I wanted to wait a considerable amount of time to heal before posting this review to make sure that…read moreI was coming from the right place. I went to this practice for a while but things took a downwards turn when my therapist asked me, during a session, if I was mad at her because she had to cancel one of our appointments. I found this to be extremely unprofessional & it honestly hurt me, as I hadn't felt angry at all or expressed anything close to anger towards her. My psychiatrist also asked me (during another session) if I was angry at my therapist, which I said again, NO! I just wanted help! After this, I decided to continue going to my appointments despite my gut reaction. I arrived one day to an appointment with my psychiatrist, already distraught. A key piece of context here is that my psychiatrist, during EVERY appointment, requested that I tell him the method & date of my suicide attempt in 2016, as well as other intimate details I had shared during my FIRST appointment. He was the only psychiatrist I've ever been to that did not understand how to maintain their notes as to not trigger their patients. I was upset every time I had to relay this information, which was during EVERY appointment. Instead of talking me through anything, he brought my therapist in and they both threatened to hospitalize me for a mild panic attack. I would have been fine if they had just offered me a glass of water or something but instead I was gawked at and threatened with hospitalization, something that I did NOT need in that situation. I, again, went to ANOTHER appointment with my psych and explained why I was so distraught that day- I had had a really nasty breakup the week prior that had a catastrophic effect on my stability and mental health. He told me that he thought that it was "boy problems", but he didn't want to say that when I was so upset. I felt humiliated. I began having anxiety about going to therapy, to the point where I just stopped going one day and quit my medication cold turkey to avoid having to speak to either my therapist or my psychiatrist. Never again.
