We took our son to see Dr. Aletkin, starting about 10 years ago. At the time we were looking for a therapist to help address his ADD/ADHD and socialization issues. All Dr. Aletkin, wanted to do was push his group sessions where he has anywhere from 4 to 8 kids at a time in his office. All the kids would be in different areas of the office doing things on their own. They mostly cycled through 10 minute periods of being able to use his video games. Whenever we tried to schedule one-on-one appointments he would always suggest horrible times; either extremely early in the morning or in the evening. For a preteen boy these were impossible times end would have no benefit to my son. Despite feeling that those appointment times would not be beneficial we struggle to get him to a few of them and, they were useless. It was either too early in the morning and he was still tired (and it affected his day at school) or it was too late in the evening and he was burned out from the day. After speaking with some other parents it became clear that he only wanted to cycle all of the kids to the group sessions because he was able to bill our insurance for the same amount of money as he did for the one-on-one session (this clearly enabled him to maximize his income because he was billing for 4 to 8 kids at a time instead of 1). After over a year of trying to give going to him a chance we finally stopped. Luckily we found a real psychiatrist who began to do one-on-one sessions with our son and also suggested other methods to address his socialization. Our son is now 20 and just completed his sophomore year at a well-known university. He will always have ADD/ADHD and socialization issues, but he has made great strides. Going to Dr. Aletkin, was a complete waste of time and insurance copayments. read more
