I spoke with the pharmacist at the local pharmacy and he did say that they would fill the prescription from an out of state doctor. I called and left messages with Dr. Theo and received no responses from Dr. Theo. BTW, I also mentioned to her about how bad the doctors are here in the mid-west and she couldn't believe it at first. Anyways, I had repeatedly called her, emailed her for one question and she never returned my phone calls! Though I had a great experience with her discussing things feeling there were resolutions I am very disappointed with her. I would never go back to her!

Medication is part of the equation but not the entire picture. She also believes that medication should help fairly quickly (within 2 weeks), otherwise we needed to try something else. This is unlike some other psychiatrists I have had that would tell me I needed to continue to feel miserable for another 6-8 weeks before the meds would help me. Anyway she's a true patient advocate and I feel very lucky to have found her.

You'll find no one else even close to Dr. Steve Balt, in terms of his expert skill, sincere empathy…read morefor his patients, and uniquely effective approach to mental health treatment.  If you've grown exasperated or etiolated with other providers who just won't *listen* to you; if you're looking for someone to selectively challenge your thoughts to inform your "gestalt" to you and others, as appropriate; or, if you just need someone you can trust to have your best interest at heart, I can personally attest to the fact that you should see Dr. Balt now, while you can. The rough can only obscure a gem like Dr. Balt for so long.  Dr. Balt's style precludes traditional "paper" diagnoses, which, at least to me, makes the most sense because no one can maintain with any level of confidence that their thinking and psyche can be wholly and correctly labeled in a box. Let's face it: our thinking is fluid, as our issues may be of mercurial function. Dr. Balt not only fully understands this truth but clearly relates to it in his treatment, which I would describe as medication-assisted psychotherapy.  Seeing Dr. Balt every other week since Summer 2018 has been perhaps the most rewarding experience I've accrued in that same timespan. I had seen other providers, but only Dr. Balt recognized my issues as specific to only me, as a person.  Dr. Balt's "collective" approach assures that you won't be stuck scarfing down tablets for reasons you don't fully understand or agree with, and compromise is the name of the game when loggerheads nears broaching.  Without delving into my personal issues, suffice it to say that complexities have been manifold, and I've honestly actually come to eagerly await each and every meeting with Dr. Balt!

Within a few consultations, Dr. Freeman isolated the issues, and began treating them, and helped her become, well, pretty much anything she wanted. What's most important is that he got the diagnosis right on the first try and really understood the client and her needs. Dr. Freeman is brilliant, on the cutting edge in his industry, if not in a class by himself altogether. He comes with my highest recommendation.

Although his fees were always on the high side, he is generous with his prescriptions, should you have need of those. During my years with the doctor, we explored much of his personal life. Originally from Los Angeles, sometime after his children were born, Dr. Freeman and his first wife divorced. Tragically, his son was killed accidentally whilst away at college, on the East Coast. The good doctor needed time after the tragedy and after his son's funeral to recover from personal angst. Back to the salt mines, and treating his patients once again. If able, find a spot in your heart for the good doctor.

Dr. Polfliet was probably the worst doctor that I have ever had the displeasure to interact with…read more Background: My wife that was going through a severe depression caused by PG&E who poisoned her via a gas leak. While the gas company was responsible, Dr. Polfliet was complicit in her passing through her actions. She catapulted my wife's already serious depression into a clinical depression that ultimate led to suicide. Here are the "low-lights": 1. Even though her website claims that she is open to alternative medicines ("East meets West"), she would belittle my wife who wanted to continue trying not only hard drugs but also allow her to use non-pharmaceuticals. My wife literally left crying after most sessions. 2. After only two sessions, she recommended a brain wave "TMS" treatment - experimental and of doubtful science at best - that would have cost around $30,000 for starters. She failed to disclose that her husband was the co-owner of this company and only admitted to it later: "Oh, I thought I told you". A clear case of using desperate people for your own gain. 3. After about 2 months of treatments, she told my wife in her session out of the blue that she will no longer treat her as she felt her case was too difficult for her (My wife called her outside office hours from time to time). This was the literal killer: Getting a psychiatrist is so difficult in Marin that it took us months to get to even her and she did not offer an alternative but just cancelled her services. I had to beg her to at least prescribe enough medicine so we can bridge the gap until we find another doctor. Only when I challenged her that she cannot leave us high and dry did she suggest a very poor alternative with terrible reviews. My wife was so shocked and depressed that her own psychiatrist would consider her situation to dire to treat...so as a consequence, six days later she tried to take her life as Dr. Polfliet, her best hope, just simply gave up on her without given her any alternative or any positive outlook. Dr. Polfliet was the last straw. Treating children with Ritalin was more her specialty and probably her sweet spot as her place was full of them. 4. To add insult to injury, Dr. Polfliet even submitted papers to the court (I sued PG&E) that my wife was just pretending because she wanted to get money from PG&E. My wife paid with her life - that is not pretending, Dr. Polfliet! It took me years to write this, but I just cannot remain quiet about the professional negligence of such an incompetent doctor. She triggered the death of my wife when she could have been her salvation.
