I was a patient of this awful man when I was a teenager. My brother had just passed away from a lengthy battle with Brain Cancer.. As one could expect I was obviously depressed, lonely, and my mother spent 200 dollars a week to take me to this evil, uncaring, indifferent man's "care"... all he ever did was sit behind this enormous desk with all these random clocks and various antiquities scouring his office and type away on his very loud keyboard.. he never asked any pointed questions that would serve as help in any sort of way all he would do is let me talk and go "uh huh" and go back to typing. He put me on Paxil and even at 16 years old I was smart enough to put 2 and 2 together. You have a waiting room with Paxil reading material, they had Paxil clipboards, and Paxil pens all over the office. It made me feel terrible and I didn't react to it well and all it did was give me headaches and insomnia. I remember coming to his office one day and telling him I had not slept in 5 days and that I was having a terrible reaction to this medication and he literally told me "these things take time, you have to slow down and let your body absorb the medication and allow it to work" I said "well what about the insomnia and the headache?" He turned to my mother who had to basically carry me into the office because of how zombie like I was. He looked her dead in the face and said "well the body will shut down eventually." And I remember her anger as she said "when? While he's walking in the hallway at school?!" And he snickered and said "well if that's the case." I had been telling my mom how uncaring he was and she didn't actually see him since the first appointment and months later when this incident happened.... she was so apologetic to me and she couldn't believe that this whole time he was being such a horrible person to me.. she never took me back there and if YOU are thinking of going there or thinking of subjecting your children to this man. Please beware he is an awful, evil man and has no business being a professional in mental health or any other capacity. This is not slander this is the truth. read more
