Review content:
I do not recommend this doctor. I saw him for four months. The 15 min appointments were usually about 8 min. In my last meeting with him I brought up the possibility of weaning off my meds as I have made great strides in therapy and feel quite stable. He raised his voice saying ""absolutely not"" and that he would not be party to me ""ruining my life."" When I started to explain my thoughts on the subject he put his head down and began writing the prescription for my meds. When I expressed displeasure in the fact that he was not listening to me, he said that when I finished saying ""whatever it is you're going to say, I'm going to tell you that you need to be on these meds for at least a year."" He then pointed out to me that my personality type called for being told directly what to do because I ""don't know what is best for me."" When I told him that I no longer wished to see him because I felt that not being listened to in a psychiatrist's office was unprofessional he said that perhaps he ""overestimated - rather than underestimated - my health"" and that he was being respectful by being direct with me ""rather than listening to what you had to say and then trying to cajole or patronize you"" into doing what was best for you (me.) He then went on to say how much he has helped me and how he has always been kind, caring and compassionate. In the end, perhaps it would be best for me to remain on the meds for a year, but that will be my determination based on a respectful dialogue that I have with a psychiatrist who has the decency to engage with me in meaningful communication rather than raising his voice at me and telling me that I am not as healthy as he thought because I am not bowing to his wishes unconditionally. Do yourself a favor and get your psychiatric needs met elsewhere.
