A Big Thank you and much gratitude to Adriana for her wonderful professional help and support. It came at a time when it was most needed and has been God sent. Adriana is very empathic and genuinely cares, which is reflected in her work. I am so glad to have found her help amidst a lot of uncertainty. Thank you again Adriana for your fantastic work. It has made a difference!

Seeing Adriana was a waste of money and complete waste of time. My advice is look elsewhere. She doesnt react well to constructive criticism when I addressed certain advice she offered and defends herself quite rigidly. I found this quite extraordinary particularly from someone who claims to have such an extensive experience.

Report
After helping my family over a few years I would highly recommend Dr. Glusman to anyone with children that need help. Please ask your doctor to write a referal for her before they consider their go to person. Building is NOT wheelchair accessible, and steps are very steep - so not extremely suitable for physically disabled people.

Adriana Glusman is nothing but kind, empathetic and professional. I have known her for over 10 years and I have had nothing but positive interactions with her. She has offered me advise on many situations and has always gone above and beyond to help me. I read the previous negative review and it is a shame because I know that someone with such a generous soul could never intentionally cause distress to anyone. I was just on here getting information and happened to come across this review. I was in no way asked to write one. Adriana will always give more than she takes.
