Stephen Gilman, M.D.

"I worked quite closely with Dr. Gilman at Hazelden New York for a number of years. I was an alcoholism counselor and he was our Medical Director. He has an excellent "bedside" manner. He seems to care about his patients and that comes across in his empathetic style. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in addiction and mental disorders. The humble, humane and extremely knowledgeable way he comes across is a breath of fresh air in the field of psychiatry. I highly recommend him as an addiction specialist."
- Bill Armstrong, Addiction Counselor (CASAC)
New York, New York

"Most psychiatrists just spend 15 minutes or so with you, prescribe some medications and then seem to rush you out of there office. Heck, many can barely even communicate clearly -- a tremendous frustration when looking for a psychiatrist for my patients. Dr. Gilman is a welcome surprise -- doing "one stop" treatment with psychotherapy and prescribing meds. All the patients I send him give him great reviews and sent him their friends and family members. But, I do have to admit, I am a bit jealous that he can get such good results with patients that have failed treatment with other physicians and therapists."
- Adalberto Morales, MSW, CASAC
Director of Substance Abuse Services, NYC Dept. of Education

"As program manager for Physician Education and Training services on substance abuse at the Hazelden Foundation, a critical aspect of my responsibility has been to retain only the best in the addiction treatment field. I regularly use Dr. Gilman because he is highly adept at reaching other physicians who are naive at addiction treatment. He has made a huge difference in helping these other doctors understand addiction treatment. In fact, many have contacted him to refer their difficult patients struggling with addiction."

"Stephen Gilman, M.D. gave an exhilirating seminar on the psychology of influence and persuasion and how it can help in addiction recovery. He had the audience mesmerized with his dynamic speaking style, appropriate humor, and easily applicable content. It was a sight to see so many participants rushing to the podium to speak with him after the talk. I'll definitely have him back."

"I've known and worked with Stephen Gilman, M.D. for the last 7 years. He is an outstanding, expert and knowledgeable Addiction Psychiatrist who really knows what works to get his patients addiction free - in the least time possible and as comfortably as possible. Dr. Gilman is who I turn to first when I need a psychiatrist expert in treating addicted patients."

" I was so appreciative to be specially invited to attend Dr. Gilman's addiction recovery seminar. It has given me so many "WOW" insights into the different subtle layers and levels of addiction. He was so well prepared and informative. He motivated me to make changes not only in the treatment of our patients -- but in my own personal life too!"

"Dr. Gilman and I have worked together in our psychiatric evaluation center for the last 8 years. We have many psychiatrists here, but I always call him first to evaluate substance abusing patients. He's smart and an expert physician who gets right to the heart of the addiction problems. On top of this, he has a warm sense of humor and he always makes everyone around him feels comfortable and at ease. Its a shame he is not working here more often -- our lose, his private patient's gain!"

"As a clinical outreach coordinator for a major substance abuse facility, I arrange many of our outside speakers. Dr. Gilman's talk was informative and highly entertaining. He held the audiences attention throughout the hour. The subject of cognitive behavioral therapy and addiction recovery were so well received, that clinicians were talking afterwards about how they could immediatley apply the materials to their own patients -- and to enhance their own personal growth as well."

" I have worked with Stephen Gilman, M.D. for the last 6 years in my role as Executive Assistant to the Medical Director here at St. Vincent's Medical Center. I keep getting feedback from the other physicians and nursing staff at how expertly he cares for our psychiatric patients. And how his interactions with patients is outstanding, even with patients who frustrate other clinicians. He is a dedicated and responsible psychiatrist and is who I would look to if a friend or others close to me needed psychiatric help."

" Dr. Gilman really knows how to keep his audience interested and involved with an interactive presentation. He presents with expertise, credibility and authority."
- Joseph Doyle
Public Relations Manager, Seabrook House
Seabrook, New Jersey

"As the new patient evaluation specialist at a major substance abuse facility in NYC, I often come across difficult, complicated, and hard to reach chemically dependent patients. Many have additional psychological problems beyond just their alcohol and drug abuse. I find that Dr. Gilman easily diagnosis these people, and then rapidly develops an individualized, comprehensive treatment strategy. I'm confident in his ability to deliver outstanding service to all patients he treats. I recommend him without reservation or hesitation."
