Latest Review

“The office was neat and clean. I liked the fact they had different choices for drinking. The receptionist was well mannered and cordial. She politely answered any questions I had. Dr. Tun was comfortable to be with. He was relaxed and made me feel at ease. He was nothing like the therapist from hell, the late Joyce B. Tretick, who ruined my life. She was a cripple who had crutches strapped to her legs, and she would stifle me from talking by pointing her crutches at me. She would interrupt and talk to me arrogantly. Such a horrible therapist!!! Hard to believe she went to Columbia in New York when she was 15 1/2 years old!! One of the first few times, she was picking her nose while in session. Oh, one negative thing I could say of the visit, was that It was hard for me to find the place. I would suggest that for new patients, you let them know exactly where you are located!”

“I have been working in residential care for 15 years and I have never met such a caring, knowledgeable and personable psychiatrist. Dr. Sal sees all the youth at our residential facility, the youth are 12-21 years old and it’s very difficult to build rapport with them, but Dr. Sal was able to feel the youth safe and cared for enough for them to trust him and share their needs. He never rushes appointments and he never pushes meds. The entire team is amazing! I am so grateful for their help!”

“Outstanding. I poured out my heart. With my mom dying. I was her caregiver for 5 years. The day she died I became homeless and my purse and all the important contents was stolen after the funeral. I feel orphaned. I felt well heard. ”
