Ratings for Dr. Lee J. Suckno
3.0
DR. Lee Sukno has been treating my sister for over 20 years! You would think a patient would improve in that amount of time with that much therapy and medication but she has only gotten much worse. She has alienated all her friends and family and barely talks to anyone. She just divorced her husband of over 40 years because she blames him and everybody else for her problems. DR. Sukno perpetuates this with telling her she is blameless and the world is out to get her. Then he prescribes drugs which do nothing but sedate her and make her sleep. So now she sits in a rented apartment, alone, miserable and seemly dysfunctional. It's so pathetic. This, all under the direction of DR. Lee Sukno.
I went to Dr Suckno for years I trusted him but I never got better.When I would called he always increased my meds and on was on the highest dosage of 3 meds,I have sine switch to another doctor am on a quarter of the amount he prescribed plus two changed and I'm doing so much better.
Helped my son through difficult times. His approach using humor and bluntness when needed was the right combination.
Was treated under Dr. S. for 8 years - big regret! Wasted all that time drowning in anxiety, crying multiple times a day, panic attacks - he wouldn't switch my medication. I (finally!) started seeing a new psychiatrist, and between new medication and CBT and DBT my life is finally looking up! This never would've happened if I hadn't left Dr. Suckno. Awful, insensitive doctor.
I believe he has high ratings from some because he is a charismatic narcissist. Misdiagnosed me with bipolar, forced me to take lithium for two years and refused to reconsider, and his last words to me when I decided to stop seeing him were "mark my words, you'll be back." I truly believe he gaslit me as a teenager, tried to make me believe that I had a shaky grasp on reality and that only he could possibly know what's right. Practically need therapy now solely to deal with my trauma from this man who was supposed to help me.
Dr Suckno is a skilled, intelligent, psychiatrist.. in addition to being highly skilled, he is supportive, compassionate and quite willing to work with patients when medication or other changes are needed.
Excellent in diagnosing and treating my condition. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Suckno is one of the most intelligent, compassionate doctors I have dealt with. He is hard working and provides endless support. He does cut to the chase and gets to the heart of the matter. Sometimes the truth, especially about oneself, is not pleasant but facing the truth is healing. Especially when you have a doctor who supports you every step of the way. He was completely supportive of stopping medications that were not working.
The absolute worst Doctor( if you can call him that) I have ever met. Nasty, arrogant and from what I hear takes pay offs to get the meds you want. Not what you need or a loved one needs. He messed my young son up very badly with wrong meds. He's clueless. Too concerned that he was on the Board at St. Claire's . BIG DEAL. He should be looked into and shut down.
The worst Dr. I have ever met. He will ruin your life, he should not be practicing.
