Ben Elitzur, MD

On the practical side of things, I had total confidence that Dr Ben’s diagnosis and management of my condition was clinically solid. He prescribed and monitored my drug regimen with the utmost diligence. If you’re reading this you likely know how daunting psychiatric medications can be. Not here — I felt supported and involved in medication decisions (including whether or not to take them at all) and remain completely at peace with the choices we made together.
But most importantly, Dr Ben approached my therapy with true compassion and concern. He made himself open to me on a level that made me completely at ease. It’s obvious he loves his job, and that comes across. I felt very safe in his office. I know I was genuinely cared for and we built a doctor-​patient relationship that has changed the way I see myself and my condition forever. I am only stopping my sessions because I am moving back to England and if I could take him with me to the next stage of my life I definitely would.
I feel like writing this review at all would have been a risk to the old me, but I have moved on so much I don’t care who knows it. I felt crazy. I went to see a shrink. It was great.
