Dr. birnbaum was great to work with. I’ve mainly had negative experiences with psychiatrists so I was very anxious, but this was a pleasant surprise. Her bedside manner was spectacular. I didn’t feel like she was trying to rush me or micromanage the session. She honored our time slot, asked insightful questions and listened carefully when I spoke. I feel confident that I made the right choice switching to this practice.

Forgot to mention that I had requested a dr ... read more

The staff is decent and I've found a great therapist but the psychiatrist is awful. No sense of urgency or desire to actually help people. Medications don't get refilled and there's 0 empathy for a profession presumably about helping people. The only good thing I can say is it's at least free (thanks medical while you still exist)
