Dr. Aaron Brodsky, MD

He didn't try to Reinvent the Wheel, but was rather interested in what treatments I had found most effective in the past This was my first visit, but his style appears to be similar to the psychiatrists who have genuinely helped to change my life for the better in the past. I wish I had known about him sooner. Top notch physician. At this point, I would Highly Recommend!

Dr. B. literally saved my life. After taking Resperdal for 23 years to treat my Bipolar Disorder, my advancing age and decreasing metabolism caused a lethal buildup in my system. These effects were increasingly severe Parkinson’s symptoms, including an inability to walk, think and talk, culminating in a life threatening catatonic state. My Primary Care Provider sought out Dr. B. because of his experience in Geriatric Psychiatry. Dr. B. Immediately hospitalized me and, contrary to conventional wisdom, took me off Resperdal cold-turkey rather than in a phased draw down. This probably saved my life. I was hospitalized for two weeks and had to have physical therapy to learn how to walk again. Afterwards, I left my previous psychiatrist and have been very happy under Dr. B’s continued care. I certainly recommend Dr. B. for any Bipolar patient and for any of us older folks who may need his particular expertise in the effects our advanced age may have on our mental health.

Because it is stated on Dr. Brodsky’s website that he was accepting new patients I decided to schedule an appointment with him. Office staff (on the phone) was very gracious and helpful. I had my medical records sent to his office for review to see if I would be accepted as a new patient. The phone call came—good new—I was accepted. Bad news—NOT with Dr. Brodsky but with a nurse practitioner. Come to find out, Dr Brodsky IS NOT ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS.
