I saw Dr. Kogan for over two years, and was worse off for it. By the time someone seeks out a psychiatrist, imo, they feel they really need help. I should have realized when she told me at the start that she would only see me if I 1) got 8 hours of sleep a night 2) ate 3 healthy meals a day and 3) exercised every day. Really? I told her that if I could do all that, I probably wouldn't be in need of help. And I should have left and never returned. It was a major mistake to keep seeing her at a time when I really needed help, but got none and in fact I feel she was harmful.
She was recommended by a friend (who btw no longer recommends her) and we both found out - by comparing notes - that a Rx she put us on had significant side effects. If you miss one dose, you get flu-like symptoms. And if you go off it cold turkey, you can easily end up in the hospital. But Dr. K never mentioned any of that. I had to find a different psychiatrist to get detailed instructions on how to "taper down" to get off this Rx safely, since I no longer trusted Dr. Kogan.
If you are reading this review, I hope you'll benefit and will end up finding a more capable and compassionate doctor. BTW, she gave herself a 5 star Yelp review - just embarrassing - that is in the filtered reviews. Seems she doesn't have any qualms about pretending to be a patient in order to improve her rating. There's no doubt in my mind that I'm not the only person who went to her in need of help, yet was harmed by Dr. Kogan. read more
