He has been listed as one of the best psychiatrists in the USA and Canada specializing in the treatment of people with Mood Disorders on a leading depression website. Dr. Rudominer has been honored with the 2012 and 2013 Patients' Choice Award. Among the nation's 870,000 active physicians and dentists, just five percent qualify for the award, based on patient feedback. Doctors are rated on-line by patients on various components of care, including accuracy of diagnoses, the amount of time spent with the doctor, and the doctor's bedside manner and follow-up care.

Since 1988 he has devoted himself in various essential capacities to the cause of higher education as represented by the diverse programs of the School. Many patients have a misconception that psychiatrists are trained just to treat problems with medication alone. Although in some cases that might be true, Dr. Rudominer's training gives him the expertise to treat the \"whole patient\" with psychotherapy and medication if needed. Dr. Rudominer believes that, if possible, it is always best for the patient and family to deal with only one clinician rather than deal with a psychiatrist just for medication and a separate psychologist or social worker for counseling.

He is one of the few psychiatrists in New Jersey who has a full-time psychotherapy practice in addition to seeing patients for medication treatment. Dr. Rudominer also welcomes referrals from other psychologists and psychiatric social workers for medication management alone and will work closely with them to help achieve patient goals. Unlike many psychiatrists in New Jersey where you often have to wait weeks to months to schedule an appointment, Dr. Rudominer will almost always see you within one to two days if there is an emergency. His approach, including his availability to speak to patients by phone whenever they are in need, even on weekends, is unusual for psychiatrists. He also encourages patients or their family members to email or text him with important information. Dr. Rudominer also specializes in the treatment of sports psychology and psychiatry as well as creative individuals such as musicians, artists, writers and singers.
