Craig Kestenberg's Online Review Report Card

Kestenburg pumped me full of psych meds before my brain developed permanently damaging my neurochemistry

Dr Kestenberg has been a blessing for our son. We have tried several other doctors but none have been as successful in helping him with everyday living. Dr K is always willing to go the extra mile. He is compassionate and always puts the patients welfare first.

I enjoyed working with Dr.Kestenberg, I don’t feel ashamed anymore. He made me feel comfortable talking to him and I feel better about myself.

Been seeing Dr. Kestenberg for over 4 years and under his care I've progressed a great deal. He has been personable, caring, and empathetic. I recommend his practice without hesitation.

Dr. Kestenberg has changed my life for the better. If you are looking for a provider that cares about his clients and puts their well-being at the top of the priority list, he is your guy. If you are at a point in your life where you truly want to start the process of digging down deep to the root of the issues you may face to finally climb out of whatever hole you are in, then go to Dr. Kestenberg. Class Act.

Dr. Kestenberg is a wonderful clinician and listener. From the first visit we had, his kindness and extensive expertise stood out. He was honest, a good listener, and made an effort to include me in the development of a treatment plan. After a thorough intake, he quickly helped me find an effective regimen and checked in with me regularly to make sure things were working out. I feel like I am on a team managing my health care rather than just seeing some nameless doctor every few weeks to get prescriptions. He is easy to reach through the patient portal or his office and meets with patients at a time that works with their schedule. As someone who has an ever changing schedule and cannot necessarily carve out chunks of a weekday to see a doctor, it is immeasurably helpful. I genuinely look forward to my visits to talk about life and how treatment is going.

Dr. Kestenburg was seeing my son a few years ago. He insisted on reducing a certain medication and we previously had a very bad reaction to that medicine being reduced. I told him that it was a really bad idea. He was extremely arrogant. He basically told me that I was being a bad mom. He reduced the medicine anyway. My son got extremely aggressive just like I warned Dr. K. He tried to harm a teacher. My son was expelled. Then my son tried to hurt his best friend so I called an ambulance. My son was taken to Hartgrove where they did brain mapping. The results showed that the medication needed to be INCREASED just like I said! I tried to talk to Dr K about it and he was even more arrogant. No apology.Now years later I'm trying to get my son into a new program and staff remembered the incident and my son was denied entrance to a program that could have really helped him. Years later we're still feeling the pain of Dr. K's arrogance. Doctors need to listen to mom's we know our children!

Our daughter Jocelyn has been seeing Dr. Craig Kestenberg for over four years now. Jocelyn is now 18 years old and because of Dr. Kestenberg’s expertise in treating psychiatric disorders in children Jocelyn has improved tremendously. Her school behavior and educational learnings have also greatly improved as has her behavior at home. I would highly recommend him because of his ability to interact with his patients successfully and his great knowledge of psychopharmacology. I would rate him 5 out of 5.

Ive been seeing Dr. Kestenberg for ~6 months and he's been a godsend. Great listener, approaches problems aggressively to reach treatment goals, and has a kind disposition that shines through. I was initially not very excited to be seeing a psychiatrist but Dr. K removed that fear and stigma of addressing mental health problems with a doctor.

Dr. Kestenberg has been seeing my daughter Jocelyn who is now 17 for the last three years. We adopted her when she was three years old and has been seeing psychiatrists since she was three. Dr. Kestemberg is her fifth psychiatrist and is absolutely the best child psychiatrist I have ever seen. My background is in social work LCSW so you’re hearing this from a professional whose specialty was therapy and children
