Dr. Termine goes above and beyond to support and improve the lives of his patients. Thanks to his…read morecare over ten years of therapy, I've been able to manage my severe anxiety disorder, process grief and trauma, and I've learned to cope with personal and professional challenges. It's not about "med checks" with Dr. T - he takes the time to really talk with his patients and work through any number of struggles they may be facing. He's encouraged me to make so many positive changes in my life and how I see the world, and I am so grateful for his care. He's not only a brilliant psychiatrist - he's a remarkably kind human being, and I have no doubt that he's helped so many other people like me, who had no one else to turn to in their time of need. His staff (namely, Anthony), is equally kind and exceptional in his work to support any patient in need of help.

This review is long overdue. I was a patient of Dr. Termine's for approximately two years before he…read moreabruptly decided to discontinue accepting UnitedHealthcare/Optum. Throughout the pandemic, he would schedule phone appointments with me every other month, which lasted fewer than 5 minutes. He would then bill my insurance company $675, and after the plan discount and my copay, took home $227. That's $227 for 3 minutes of interacting with the patient. When Dr. Termine told me he was no longer accepting UnitedHealthcare, he said "UnitedHealthcare isn't very psychiatrist friendly." Apparently $227 for 3 minutes isn't enough for him. Additionally, he informed me of this change during one of our appointments and did not schedule a follow up or provide a referral. This was in June 2021. Several months later, I received a letter in the mail from my insurance company stating that Dr. Termine's contract would be ending with UHC in September 2021... This man could have continued providing me care for three additional months while I searched for a new doctor, but did not give me that option so that he would have space for a new patient that he could collect more money from. Also, there was a time that I was prescribed a muscle relaxer for lower back pain and I read online that there was an interaction with the antidepressant Dr. Termine prescribed for me. I called Dr. Termine to ask about the potential consequences of an interaction and what I should look out for in case of a negative interaction, and he said "Let me look that up for you." Two minutes later, he says "Yes, I see that there is an interaction." I thought umm, duh... I learned that from a simple Google search. I was looking for a little more guidance from a physician who should be able to explain the pharmacology to me beyond what I can ascertain from a search engine. Dr. Termine was basically a glorified drug dealer. If you're looking for a doctor who isn't going to spend much time with you, doesn't seem to bring much expertise to the table beyond basic psychiatry, and all you want is easy access to prescriptions, this is your guy. If you want more thorough care, I'd suggest finding someone else. I now see a wonderful physician at ColumbiaDoctors psychiatry.

I logged in to write a review of Dr. Abbott today because I'm approaching the ninth anniversary of…read moremy last suicide attempt, and not coincidentally, my ninth year of working with Dr. Abbott. As I've been packing to move in with my partner, I've been taking stock of my life, and of my gratitude, in particular to Dr. Abbott for both saving my life and making my life a joy to live. I was surprised to see Kay W.'s review and actually laughed when I read it because she couldn't possibly have described a person more opposite of Dr. Abbott. Although we didn't know this nine years ago, my drug metabolization is downright wacky, and I was fortunate that Dr. Abbott was conservative and precise with her prescribing. I have a physical disability for which doctors always try to prescribe muscle relaxants and narcotics, and I've been deeply lucky to have Dr. Abbott advocate for other solutions on my behalf, like physical therapy and non-narcotic pain killers. Dr. Abbott was also the first psychiatrist I encountered who didn't treat me as if I had a behavioral problem. When I first started seeing her in my early twenties, I was really stunted and benefited from her expertise as a child and adolescent psychiatrist. She was able to communicate with me about my issues in a clear, insightful way, and handled my reactivity without taking it personally. In fact, each time I freaked out on her she took the opportunity to be a stable force in my life who would not give up on me even when I wanted to drive everyone away. When I was a teen, my parents were told that I would probably have to be institutionalized for life. I think that or death really would have been my fate if I hadn't been referred to Dr. Abbott. Because of Dr. Abbott's care, I finished college; I have a job I love; supportive, loving relationships; a healthy sense of self worth; and I serve on boards for two nonprofits in my community. Dr. Abbott essentially took a feral child with complex trauma and a familial lineage of mental illness, and turned out an adult with actual coping skills and beautifully managed mental health. It's funny to write a "review" of someone who has given you the chance to live a rich life, but here it is: There's no one like Dr. Abbott. If you are trying to find a psychiatrist for yourself or your child and you have lost hope, Dr. Abbott will be your ally in regaining that hope. She will care about you; she will believe in you. She will help you lead the life you deserve to live.

When I first interviewed her I knew she would be a psychiatrist that could be counted upon to adeptly explore my problems and issues, diagnose them, intervene as appropriate with the right mix of medications, talk through everything that needed to be confronted, and address the underlying depression and anxiety swiftly and expertly. And that's exactly what she did! Dr. Abbott is fabulous. She is a warm and intelligent professional. I heartily recommend her to anyone with psychological/psychiatric problems requiring rapid and appropriate attention.

Take what I say with a grain of salt, as you should be the judge, but here is why I think Dr. Brian…read moreBuggie is awesome and have continued to remain his patient over the past ~12 months: * He's not a BSer and calls it like it is. With Dr. B, it's real-talk all the way, which has allowed me to identify my problem areas and make significant progress towards becoming my best self. I'm a busy person and want to see results from my efforts and the expenditure of my resources (i.e. money) so it's refreshing to work with a doctor who is aligned with those interests. * His help is custom-tailored to who I am as a person. I can't speak for his other patients, but I've found that Dr. B doesn't provide me with canned answers, which my previous psychiatrists have done. Instead, he took the time to observe my mannerisms, my perceived problems, etc. in order to provide personalized advice and therapy. * He's there for me. I have literally called and/or texted Dr. B on the weekends or late evenings, and he is always available to help as needed. I'm careful not to overstep my boundaries and only use this info in emergencies since I don't want to lose him as a doctor, but it's amazing to know that he's always there for me when I need him. That's all for now but, hey, don't take my word for it. Go and see for yourself. I hope this has been helpful!

I never felt like Dr.Buggie was a 'pill-pusher' and my only other experience with a psychiatrist had been bad, so I was relieved to find that he's great as a counselor as well as current and professional with medication. He leaves a lot of space for listening and what he does say is very thoughtful and to the point. He can be blunt, but he never comes across as judgmental. I felt able to speak honestly and be met with an open mind. Also his doggo Turok is so cute, his office is really nice, and the online scheduling is a breeze.

All new patient-therapist relationships seem to require a lengthy "breaking in period" before a level of comfort is established, but Dr. Murphy's calm demeanor and interest what the patient wants and needs made the transition very easy for me. Under her care I never felt judged or that my postpartum depression case was pushed aside. Thanks to Dr. Murphy, I've been sane and happy and not needed to visit over a year. Psychiatry works, people!!! Positive unrelated to psychiatry: Has a really cute dog. Two negatives: She doesn't take my insurance (Aetna) and I had several lengthy games of phone tag with her -- not 100% her fault, mind you, but it happened enough for me to know that if I called around 4pm-ish, for example, I'd hear from her more quickly than if I called at 11am. However, she responded to texts very quickly and ALWAYS responded to emergency calls immediately.
