He has often squeezed us in after hours when necessary. I pay out of pocket and IMO he is worth every penny. If you want a doctor with experience that you can trust then I truly recommend Dr Joel Fine.

Hi. I was a patient at First Hospital who was 302'd, that means I was an involuntary admittance for…read morea psychotic episode. I was violent and had to be restrained twice in the first 3 days. i ended up staying for 16 days, with the first few days being very rough for me mentally. I can honestly say that I am completely greatful for the treatment I received there. The staff, especially those who restrained me were absolutely professional. I was not hurt at all even while being restrained by 12 people. They were truly experts at their jobs. After my stay I left feeling like myself again. I want to thank Dr. Asif for working closely with me on my medication plan, helping me with not only my schizophrenia but also my anxiety and depression. I also want to thank all the nurses, therapists, food preppers, cleaning staff, techs and security (one of which I bit during a psychotic episode, sorry about that :/) who are very underappreciated for the work they do, and helped me 24/7, going out of their way many times to help me. Even after my schizophrenic episodes the staff did nothing but make me feel protected, being friendly and making me feel like I was a valuable member of society again. I apologize for the long ramble but the guys and gals at this hospital deserve respect and acknowledgement for the work they do. I am getting my life back because of them, and I have nothing but love, respect and admiration for what they do. I wish the hospital was better funded, added more healing activities like sports and was more taken of financially by the state government. Without this help I could have been hurt or even worse, I could have died. So thank you to all of the staff for making my stay a very productive and healthy one. I'll never forget you all as I get my life back on track. God bless you all. P.S. After a year passes I just might take a chance and apply there to help others like you all helped me. You guys rock. With love, Matt

Patient Beware: my mother was a patient for over 10 years. This summer she had to help me with my…read morekids because I had shoulder surgery. My mother called Dr. Sperazza's office and explained the situation, explained she would not be able to make her appointment since I live 4 hours away. First, doctor would refill her scripts so that she could get through the 2 months she needed to stay and help me, second doctors office insisted she attend her scheduled appointment. After my mom told them there was no way, they scheduled her for earlier this week. When my mom had my dad drive her the 45plus minutes to get to her office, the doctor would not see my mother and had her staff tell my mom she was being discharged as her patient do to non-compliance. She would not even refill her medicines to hold her over until she could get in with another doctor. My mother has never missed an appointment like that and this is how she treats her patience. Do not go to this doctor, she clearly does not care for her patience.

Having been a nurse in the psyche field many years ago, I was familiar with what to expect. As a person fairly new to this area, I had heard terrible things about this place. I'm here to say that everything I heard was very far from what I found. Once my medicine adjustment was stable I was discharged. I'm thankful for this experience and need others to know as much as it's scarey at the time of admission, the staff are there for you and are very well equipped to handle the psyche side of health. I also had physical issues that the staff there addressed as well as they could until I was discharged. Thank you all who I came in contact with. You know who you are.
