VALENTIN ISACESCU, MD REVIEWS

Dr Isacescu was very professional, asked good questions to pinpoint my issues, and gave me good information and feedback during our session. I have had some experience with psychiatry before, and as someone coming in with a decent understanding of my own issues it was a very productive conversation. Whether someone new to having these conversations with a doctor would have the same experience, I cannot say, but I was very happy with my visit. I did see another reviewer mention long waiting times, and I was in the waiting room for 20 minutes before I was seen, but it wasn’t egregious and the receptionist was very nice. It seems all the complaints on here about rude staff are outdated; Cecilia is very kind and was very helpful.

The doctor was very kind and I could tell he really wanted to help. If I was not moving , I would definitely keep him as my provider. The receptionist are soo wonderful and helpful as well! They are always so sweet and friendly.

I have nothing but compliments for Dr V. If you're looking to support a drug addiction then Dr V is not your guy. He listens and makes decisions on the best treatment plan. I have seen many doctors over my lifetime. I sincerely recommend hm.

LEOR MATALON, MD, MS REVIEWS

I can’t say enough great things about Dr. Matalon. From my first visit, I could tell he is extremely knowledgeable and truly cares about his patients. He took the time to thoroughly understand my concerns, explain my options and address my issues in a way that made me feel comfortable and confident. Since being under his care, I’ve noticed a significant improvement and I’m so grateful for the attention and expertise he’s provided. Highly recommend him to anyone seeking excellent medical care.

Dr. Matalon has helped me in so many ways! He really gets to know his patients and aids them with what they need! I’ve been to a few doctors and none compare to him and the amazing work he does! Definitely recommend him! His appointments are easy to login to, he is very welcoming and is always willing to help his patients! Thank you Dr. Matalon.

I am so thankful for Dr. Matalon! He showed great care, knowledge and compassion with my son. He answered all our questions, was easy to talk to and was clear about our best options and the reasons/science behind his recommendation. I would definitley recommend Dr. Matalon.

ELISE A. REED, DO REVIEWS

I absolutely love Dr Reed. Dr Elise Reed has been my doctor for about 14 years & there is absolutely no other doctor quite like her. She has always treated me with the utmost respect, she goes out of her way for me always & she makes me feel as though I am her only patient. She is fully focused on me during my appointments & truly listens to me, my concerns & gives excellent professional advice. Even after hours if I need to call her for something, she is always there for me to address my concerns. She is remarkable & I really don’t know what I would have done without her for all these years. Thank you from the bottom of my hear Dr Reed.

Dr. Reed is awesome, she took the time with me to get things right. I wasn’t magic it took time but things are good now.

She's amazing! Have been seeing her for 6 yrs even though I moved outta state I see her for ft appts.
