Avoid Dr. Haas at all costs.
I saw him for a few years for maintenance meds to prevent bipolar episodes. He got me hooked on Zolpidem (Ambien) for several years; it’s only supposed to be prescribed for short periods. He completely dismissed my extreme symptoms from tapering Olanzapine, saying he had never heard of adverse reactions, when reports of these are all over the Internet. All he ever asked me at my peremptory visits was about my job search and whether I was exercising.
The clincher: after ending treatment, discovered from looking at the claims history on my insurer’s website that he had billed my insurer multiple times for visits I never had and services never provided. I never saw him more than once every two months (he kept urging me to see him monthly, even though no psychiatrist I’d ever seen required more than quarterly visits). He billed for visits several times a week, multiple times a month, 45-minute psychotherapy sessions that never happened, and multiple psychological tests. ALL LIES. In all, for 2021, he billed the insurance company well over $20,000, when in fact I had seen him that year for 6 10-15 minute visits. The insurance company showed my responsibility to him to be over $4,0000, when in fact I only owed, and paid, $100 a visit for six visits. Needless to say, the man is now under investigation for fraud.
STAY AWAY FROM THIS MAN AT ALL COSTS — while he is still licensed.
