I have been suffering from depression for 15 years, maybe longer. In my quest for being NOT depressed, I saw so many professionals, all with Manged Health Care Facilities, all with inadequate care. We switched providers, and even met one Doctor (review later) who said although he prescribed anti-depressants (liar) he told me he WOULDN'T! and to go see a pychiatrist. I said O.K, , did he have a referral or two? No. Cold as ice. I didn't care if we could afford this help or not. I called Dr. Orenstein's office and told his assistant, Marla- begging for a right away appointment, because I had reached a level of agoraphobia. He stayed late for me, an unknown-as this is a man who understands mental health. His follow up was strict because he wanted to me to be well, this is the man he is. Some things worked and others did not, but in a short period of time I began to heal. I could write a book, but he ALWAYS asks the right questions. His notes are so meticulous-he'll remind me of our last visit (I see him every 8 weeks now, down from bi-monthly) and what I was up to at that time, and ask's what has changed/why, too. I sometimes was caught off guard. He NEVER wastes a penny of my time and truly just prompt always for appointments. I love Dr. Orenstein, and I was blessed. You don't need to search anymore. (And, he's not a Dr. Feelgood.) He's simply the best, and I should know. I'm thankful I was able to review Dr. Herbert Orenstein.

Dr. Orenstein is careful but efficient as he collects any relevant data. My husband's observations of me are as important to him as my own. He colors his significant intelligence and experience with erring on the side of seeing the best in his patient - albeit with good reason always. He literally remembers everything you ever said to him, it seems to my husband and me. And he is available 24hrs a day. Nutshell, he may seem concerned about regular visits with him (I'm still working towards resolution w/meds), but it is absolutely true, we've found, that he wants your problem to be fixed. Of note, just make sure to know everything about the prescription refill protocol on day one.
