This was one of the worst experiences I've had with a doctor…read more I was dealing with psychosis, but she insisted it was bipolar and changed my medications to what she called "old school" meds to avoid weight gain. I was put on very strong medications (haloperidol, Trintellix, buspirone), and things quickly got worse. Within a few days, I started having serious side effects my eyes were rolling back, my body became extremely stiff, and I had severe back pain to the point where I could barely move. When my family contacted her, she dismissed it and told them to continue the medications, even blaming them over something unrelated instead of addressing what was happening to me. By day 5, my condition got so bad I had to go to the hospital. To make things worse, she also worked at that same hospital. When she saw me there, her behavior was very aggressive and unprofessional. The next day, during a virtual appointment, she discussed my personal information in front of others without regard for my privacy. I'm sharing this so others are aware. Please take side effects seriously and don't ignore your instincts if something feels wrong. No one should have to go through this.

I had a very concerning experience with this provider. My parents scheduled a virtual appointment…read morefor me. She prescribed a medication and advised us to follow up by email rather than going to the hospital.Within two days of taking the medication, I developed severe symptoms, including shaking legs, extreme weakness, difficulty eating, and trouble standing or moving. We contacted her to report these symptoms, but she suggested I needed more sleep and did not seem concerned. Over the next few days, my condition worsened, and my parents had to take me to the hospital for urgent care.This experience was frightening and has had a lasting emotional impact on me, and I am currently in therapy working through the anxiety from it. I believe clearer guidance and more urgent follow-up would have been helpful. I'm sharing this so other patients know to closely monitor side effects and seek in-person care if symptoms become severe.
