Dr. Brody is a fantastic psychiatrist. He cares deeply about his patients and is helpful and empathetic. He takes the time to get to know his patients well so that he can provide the best and most tailored advice possible. He is always available when there are crises, big or small. I enthusiastically recommend Dr. Brody to anyone looking for a great psychiatrist.

A difficult, aloof, and disconnected psychiatrist. Rude, lacks empathy and insight, and treats every patient like a research case where he obviously knows better. Avoid in any way possible, even if in a forced or appointed situation. Pull your records if you want to see what this guy actually says about his patients. If there was ever a research case for an egotistical person with attitude problems that make patients feel worse than when they introduce themselves, Dr. Benjamin Brody is the one. I’d love to see a psychiatric analysis on him - the work he did with me was shameful and complacent, seasoned with attitude problems and superiority complex issues.

My experience with Dr Brody was on his inpatient unit. I found him to be extremely condescending and disregarded my feelings. Conversely he told me how I was feeling. What I was thinking. It made things very difficult for me as is being inpatient there is very little voice to be heard as a psych patient-he made it so much worse by being so blatantly disrespectful. During my time there I heard from many other patients saying they felt he was mistreating them. It’s sad that he is in charge of the nations top psych wards.

I was admitted in Dr. Brody’s unit. He was not my treating physician, however three weeks into my stay when I was intended to leave the following day, Dr. Brody took a second opinion. His manner was offensive and condescending, seemingly without regard of my experience and feelings. He and my current doctor on the unit cornered me, intimidated me and attempted to convince me to adhere to a diagnosis and treatment plan that was unfounded and bizarre. Although two psychiatrists who have known me for years completely disagreed with their theories, Dr. Brody stuck by his diagnosis without acknowledging the facts at hand and ignoring the patient. Eventually I sought my rights as a patient to request a 72 hour period and to be discharged or go to court. Obviously, with home psychiatrists disagreeing with Dr. Brody’s diagnosis they know they would never win. I was then discharged after a month of stay. Dr. Brody’s behavior was extremely insulting and the way he conducted himself was egregious

I was in the midst of a painful divorce and Dr. Brody was incredibly insightful and helped me put things in context. He is a wonderful doctor and I would recommend him to anyone, whether you are going through a crises or not.

He seems like a caring and well-trained doctor. But I had a few encounters with him while being held against my will in his unit, and they were all bad. Repeatedly I tried to notify him of gross abuses of patient rights, and he ignored me or acted scared of me, or called my attempts a "distraction."
