Got me on medication that made me throw up for weeks even after I stopped seeing him and refused to switch it. Cancelled a very needed appointment less than 24hrs with no notice. Did not offer a referral, or to refill medications, and basically left me to suffer saying I needed more "serious" help despite me explaining why hospitals don't help me. Which is illegal to do by the way! I met a new psychiatrist and she got me on new meds that worked asap and she was far more helpful, knowledgeable, and caring than Tallman ever was. Not to mention, she promised me I would never see a hospital BECAUSE SHE DOES HER JOB. Tallman is lazy and picks and chooses who he wants to actually care for. He is not a good person, let alone a good doctor. Leaves all scheduling and communication between patients and doctor up to poor staff who are overwhelmed. Do not recommend whatsoever unless you are looking to be absolutely miserable. Tallman does not deserve to be a doctor, let alone should not be caring for people who need actual help. So many better options out there!

Dr. Dufford has helped me make more progress in one month more than I made those ten years in talk therapy.

Now I am more in control of my emotions. They no longer control me. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one because I've seen how much he has to offer. He has literally changed my life. This may sound strange, but I feel like I'm a different (and better) version of myself. I can't recommend Dr Dufford enough.

As a previous child patient of hers (it's been ten or more years ) I stumbled upon her page and had…read moreto leave a positive review after seeing a negative one . First of all , her office is very private (same address as before it looks like ) and never are u in there with more than one other patient . Therefore , unless this guy hung out outside her door I highly doubt he had interaction with many other patients . Also , im not sure if he is a parent who just didn't agree with her opinion , but as a confused and rebellious kid - I feel like it's important for me to say that when I think back to then tens of therapists my estranged father sent me too (because he was desperately searching for someone who would file "being an angsty teen child of divorce" under "must be committed"), she was the first one who helped me make sense of my emotions . She never once made me feel like a bad kid , and after years of dreading pointless therapy , I acryslly looked forward to seeing her and felt that , for the first time , it wasn't just a waste of money talking to a friend . That was always what I would say - "you're throwing money away I have friends I can talk to...it's not like I bottle up my emotions ". But she was smarter than any specialist I had seen before and let me tell you - I walked in there feeling helpless and not knowing how to express myself - and left feeling that she was the true translator between parent and child - that if for whatever reason my plan and compromise with my parents didn't work that she would be there to make sure I felt understood and validated . This woman and her skillhas stuck with me through the years - I Can't tell you the amount of times I've recommended her to people . She was pregnant at the time ldk if that could've changed her outlook on anything but imo it could only make her understand both sides better . So take it from a true patient - this woman left an impression so big - and on a child no less - that I wholeheartedly dismiss the previous review (SEE your way out please !) and demand that if your child is having issues , u at least give her a chance .

Dr Catherine Borchart for me is a mixed bag - because she's not a bad psychiatrist by any means…read more She was the one who initially suspected I might have ADHD which went under the radar for years due to the fact I also likely have Autism as well (as of right now I am still undiagnosed but I am working with a different doctor to get this done!). But...as the other reviews here have indicated she is extremely honest, very blunt, and doesn't sugar coat anything. And I do mean anything. Not only is she an extremely just woman but she tells it exactly like it is. Which makes it extremely nerve wracking to be upfront with her due to her direct nature which often times comes across as extremely passive aggressive or sometimes even demeaning. She means well but I haven't seen her in about four years mostly for this reason. Nor do I particularly want to. I do recall one review suggesting having a therapist in addition to her if you decide to see her as a psychiatrist and I do recommend this as well. Because while she is excellent with medication and getting to the heart of what might be the problem - far more than the previous psychiatrist I once had. Talking to her about yourself is a major undertaking. Don't go to her expecting someone who will offer you much sympathy in regard to what problems you have - particularly when they are your problems to deal with because she doesn't have a lot it. I don't want to go so far as to claim she has none of it but handling what you put forth gently is just not something she does. Her main defining quality is her honesty. A good example of this that isn't too personal is when she told me "you will never be a professional screenwriter if you can't handle multiple pressures at once". (Screenwriting is not my primary long term goal anymore but something in film which I won't share here certainly still is and I still have a few prominent tv show ideas that may still get made...or not if what she said is actually true). And while again I didn't want to be too personal with this review I did also want to say - partially because I know she reads these that I tend to ruminate a lot and her harsh criticisms have stayed with me. I replay them a lot in my head. Whether or not this is for better of worse is up for you to decide. But again I would strongly consider you think over this and the other critical reviews of her before booking an appointment.

I am not one that reviews often; I save my energy, usually, for happy and positive stuff. I was…read morejust reading some of the nasty reviews on her page, and I feel terrible for how it seems that the internet can be a tough place. People review when they are MAD, more than when they're satisfied. I would imagine that it's even tougher when your clientele is, by nature, in need of mental health advice. I feel compelled to tell MY truth! I've been really frustrated with myself, secretly, about my lack of focus and constantly being distracted for years now. It seemed to get worse "cuz COVID". Dr. B and I met and she went through some testing, and from the data received, she was very cautious about how to treat what I was seeking help for. She discussed carefully her initial diagnosis, and talked about the ways to treat. She made it clear that some medications have risks of addiction, etc. and wasn't trying to do anything other than inform me and provide caution. She asked me how I felt about prescription treatments, and what my history was with things like this. She was digging deep to ensure that we were doing the right thing and that I was comfortable - that's what it felt like to me. She started me with very low doses of the chosen med. She was careful. Concerned about the result with my day-to-day life as her main goal. She felt conservative to me with the medications, frankly, and I really like how concerned she seems about not only treating things appropriately, but also counseling me on "normal" day-to-day, non-medication practices to help me focus. So, I'm sorry that some felt poorly handled, treated etc., but I'd hope that people would see through that and talk to Dr. B before throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Dr. B is a good egg. She has changed my life and I find her to be a very, very careful and thoughtful practitioner, and I'm grateful that I'm working with her. I'm a big fan.

Back when I was a child though only boys were diagnosed Autistic, and Asperger's wasn't really known too much- especially with girls. Though teachers always communicated to my parents how I seemed to be falling short of "normal," no one ever thought to have me involved in psychiatry or psychology as a child. As an adult though I have been involved in both for over 3 decades. I felt like a guinea pig as they tested every drug and latest techniques on me. I was given many misdiagnoses. Doctor Miner is the first one who finally put it all together, correctly diagnosing all my issues. Then after that it was a matter of working on my med regimen. She has a quiet and naturally calming and good natured demeanor. Doctor Miner is also intelligent and insightful. I haven't seen her work with children and families, however I can easily imagine how perfect she is.
