In my 15 years of dealing with all sorts of doctors to treat my anxiety, I have never met a…read morephysician as incompetent as Killian O Connell. I will summarize this but this review should be taken seriously. I started seeing him around 2011. As a child that was ravaged by the chokehold of anxiety, I sought help. It was then after the first appointment that I was prescribed Wellbutrin. I had horrific side effects. Irritability, dry mouth, worse anxiety. So I stopped taking it. After that drug didn't work, he prescribed me Ativan. He never once told me how addictive the drug would be. Not only that, but he prescribed it to me like candy. He would tell me to take 3MG a day even though it was supposed to be as needed. So for 6 years I took this medication not knowing how addictive it was. But he was determined to keep me on it. Fast forward to September 2018. I went to him in a deep state of depression looking to try an SSRI. These medications are typically used for depression and are not addictive like Ativan is. As I am sitting in the chair in his room, he REFUSED to prescribe me any SSRI stating the "horrible side effects it would cause me". But there he was again trying to get me to take Wellbutrin knowing how many horrific side effects I had from this medication. He tells me "take Wellbutrin in the morning" and then after I sat there for 10 minutes arguing with me, he tells me "take it at night" to which I replied "I thought you said to take it in the morning?". With laughter in his reply, he says "Well it's morning somewhere, right?" From that moment on, I have never stepped foot in his office. Such a thoughtless, coincided and incompetent physician. I am happy to say, after switching practices and getting on to an SSRI for the last 10 months, I have gained my life back. All while going against his word. To save potential future patients from he shit show I went through for 7 years with this practice, PLEASE don't go here for your psychiatric needs. Go elsewhere where you'll find the care and thoughtfulness you deserve.
