This review is especially for Dina Niewood, as she is the therapist I dealt with…read more A few months ago, I felt stuck and decided to do some therapy, just to see if it helped. I was hoping to have Dr Sam because of all her raving reviews, but I could not afford her, plus she is in high demand; I was offered to go with Dina instead and decided to giver her a try. The few sessions that I had with Dina really helped me reframe my anxieties and review my priorities to help me get out of the rut I was in. Just even talking to her was helping me put order in my thoughts, thanks to the questions she was asking about why or how i had this or that feeling. After a while though, she and I had worked so well that I was able to do the work on my own. It felt more than hanging out with a friend and albeit super nice, it was getting a little pricey! Although I had less than 10 sessions with her, they really helped me and I would recommend her warmly to anyone who'd need help and support in trying times.

I ended up having to pay her $450 out of pocket for a one hour video session. Instead of helping me with the situation, their billing department sent me on an emotional roller coaster calling every week for several months. It took so much of my energy and time. In my experience, their team did not handle anything well. There are many therapists out there, so please save yourself the stress & headache by staying far away from this practice.

My wife and I are forever grateful to Kristen Estrella (therapist) for all the help and treatment…read morewe received for our daughter during the 2020-22 period. At a time when almost all therapists refused to see patients in-person during the early months of the pandemic, Kristen was so accommodating to provide both in-person and virtual sessions, whichever worked better for our family any time our daughter needed therapy. Kristen is extremely patient with the kids and is a great listener. She always came up with bright ideas to address any concerns we had with our defiant child, and always made sure to follow up with us to assure we were making progress with regards to the treatment for that concern. In total we had almost 40 sessions over a 20-month period, and we are more than happy for every minute and every penny we spent on the therapy sessions! I definitely recommend Kristen Estrella and the Lukin team to anyone in the Ridgewood/Bergen County area who is in need of a fantastic therapist for their child!

I feel inclined to leave a review years after having been a patient to hopefully help others know…read moreto stay away. I was a patient of Dr Patel for too many years while I was in high school and into college. Throughout our time together, I felt judged, disregarded, and received a significant lack of care. I never received any warnings about possible drug interactions with my anxiety medication which resulted in a life threatening situation that took weeks to recover from. I wish she cared enough to educate me before continuing to carelessly prescribe and rake in the money. That's all it felt like. This was my first experience with a psychiatrist, so I unfortunately had nothing to compare it to at the time. Years have passed and now I'm being treated by someone who so clearly cares about my well-being and gives me support beyond the simple prescription refills. What a stark difference. I would never suggest having a friend or family member seek treatment from Dr. Patel, there's so much better out there. There was zero heart in this office.

I feel awful that my parents are paying $500 a month for me to be on caplyta (which I'm sure you…read moreget nice kickbacks for). This is a medication I wanted to go off of. However, my mom urged me to do it safely. When she called Gretchen (your receptionist) - Gretchen had a horrible attitude. Saying I missed my last appointment, which btw you scheduled incorrectly and it was supposed to be virtual and I tried to call and correct that. She then let my mom know that we would have to pay $50 and when my mom declined because, again it wasn't my fault, Gretchen told her that she would be terminating me as a patient. This is completely unsafe and unprofessional. My mom pleaded with her to have one last appointment to get a refill to hold me over while I found another psychiatrist. Gretchen then told her that she was enabling me and I would have to call myself. She then proceeded to tell my mom that I'm not taking my care seriously. This is shocking to hear. I've been in therapy for 6 years straight, I take all my meds, I am committed to my mental health ? Are you committed to being a provider? Why did your employee give unsolicited parenting advice knowing little to no information? You want my and essentially my parents to pay $500 a month for a medication you are getting kick backs for, and then you're going to tell my mom that she is enabling me by making an appointment for me? I urge you to remember why you chose this career, and let you know that you failed me. I truly hope you rethink who you hire, because when I called other places they were appalled at how your staff spoke out of turn to my mother. I have a great support system with my family, how dare she tell my mom that she is enabling me. She is supporting me. I hope you make changes to your practice, but I will not be silent on how my care was handled.
