Estelle Toby Goldstein, MD

If I could give her ¼ of a star, I would. I would not recommend her to anyone. I completely understood Hannah’s review because something similar happened to me after she strung me along for as long as she could. Also, I found that the office smelled of piss everytime I went there. Animal or human piss, I couldn’t tell you.
I will let Dr. G speak for herself. This is the copy for her free report:

I want give you a copy of one of the most important reports I’ve written for anyone in private practice — How to build the practice of your dreams. Anybody who sells their time for dollars needs to learn how to attract a steady stream of clients who will pay premium prices. This includes medical doctors, massage therapists, acupuncturists, psychotherapists — you get the idea!
Oh yeah. We get the idea.

Dr. G is a godsend. I suffer from bipolar disorder and can’t tolerate the psychotropic drugs used by the traditional establishment to treat my illness. I have tried many of these medicines with reactions ranging from severe allergic response to being so exhausted that I sleep all day long. So it was with great relief that I discovered the practice of Dr. Goldstein, who is able to successfully treat BP and other disorders with natural substances. Being able to stay stable and live my life without the horrendous side effects of traditional medications used to treat bipolar disorder is a gift, and without Dr. G’s help, my quality of life would be sorely decreased.
In addition to improving my life with her expertise in natural and alternative medicines, Dr. G. has taught me coping strategies that help me in my day to day. She has been a warmly supportive and compassionate guide through difficult and trying times. I highly recommend her services to anyone, but in particular to those who feel they are slipping through the cracks of traditional psychiatry and insurance companies.

Dr. G. gave me my life back. Many years ago, I was diagnosed with depression and chronic fatigue, given Prozac, and turned over to HMO shrinks. The Prozac eventually made me manic (now we know it does that), so then I was diagnosed with bipolar illness and mentally «straight-​jacketed» with lithium and other drugs. Thing is, they never really worked.
I ran across Dr. G. at a dance class of all places, and said she might be able to help me out. I scheduled an appointment and boy am I ever glad I did. It turns out I’m NOT bipolar; I was sick from celiac disease and none of the HMO puppets took the time with me to figure it out. Now I’m off all the psych meds, on a gluten-​free diet, and using a nutritional regimen Dr. G. recommended that works like a charm. I kept going to the HMO shrink and therapist for a little while, just to be sure, and after a year of remission they declared me well and sent me on my way.
Back when Dr. G. was helping me she wasn’t billing for as much, but I would have paid ANYTHING to have the mental and physical health I enjoy now.

I called to make an appointment with Dr. G who had been referred by my naturopath. The assistant, Annette, told me the fee was $ 100/​hour. I thought it was steep, and insurance doesn’t cover Dr. G, but I made an appointment. During our session, Dr. G said she really needed another 30 minutes with me and was that ok? I said yes, thinking an extra $ 50 was manageable. When I got my bill, it said $ 900! I was shocked! I talked to Dr. G and told her there must be some mistake. It turns out she really does charge $ 600/​hour. I asked her to give me a break because I don’t make that much money and I had misunderstood her receptionist over the phone when she quoted her rates. She refused saying she is a very specialized specialist and that she deserves to charge that much because she is so unique. I told her what I make and that I’m a single mom and she still refused, saying, and I quote the email: «although your misunderstanding was regrettable, there will be no adjustment of rates. We do not have any policies for reducing fees.»
So I’m stuck with a $ 900 doctor bill.
Dr. G may be very specialized but she doesn’t have a heart.
