It is very rare for me to make a comment negative comment as my goal in life is to only see the good. I am a man who had such shame around having to be on medication for anxiety and depression. I finally found some compassion for myself during this journey. I was in the midst of finding a solution for myself when my path crossed with Fred Moss. His charisma was palpable, and he connected with me right away as I was going through something really hard.

We struck up a conversation after our initial connection. He told me he was a doctor who had seen too much pharmacology not work, that he was on a path to get people off of it, and to realize that they never needed it in the first place. He was very convincing. I own my own choices here. I did not have to listen. But I did. And after he told he how much he charged, I said no. He continued to check in to see if there was anything he could do with the cost. And I don't mean lower it. I mean stretch it out. It is prohibitive.

Eventually, because of the circumstances of my life, I decided to get a loan to pay for his help. He told me in our intake that he would be available to me 168 hours a week. And clarified that he would call back if he initially wasn't available, quickly. This is just not true. I'm warning anybody who comes across this man. He will not be that available. He has many patients...how could he be.

He is a big believer in self help gurus. Like Tony Robbins and others. And attends their seminars regularly. That really isn't relevant to you, other than the fact that he will not be available much during these times. He will call back, but he will be distracted.

My biggest issue with this man is that he literally has no plan to help you once you get off the medication. Once I was off, I asked him, what is the plan? He said, "what do you need?". I was dumfounded. I asked again, I need some structure. Okay, he set up regular calls, weekly. When we talked, I would be scolded when I would question his message of "you make the choice to be miserable". I would say, okay, if that is true, how do you not make that choice? His answer, in a nutshell, was, just do it. I would get scolded, angrily, by him if I questioned that.

Sadly, during the beginning, I gave his name to a friend who had a son who was REALLY in dire straits. To this day, there has been no progress there either. And the money that was exchanged for that engagement was much higher than my transaction.

He is very charismatic, which is why he is all over the pod casts. He is very convincing, with his history of psychology. He just isn't good at what I needed him to be good at. So, you have been warned.

It saddens me, but I've come to absolutely hate this man. I really wish I could report him, but his license switches between 15 different states, he's a very effective liar who seems to have weaseled out of legal trouble over and over again. I wish I could do something to protect his patients from him, and future patients from falling for his manipulative belittling trap. It took me a while to see through his lies but I've come to realize everything he said was to attack my ego to make me feel bad about myself so i defer to him as an authority, and dont have the confidence to leave when he insinuates everything is my fault. This man should be in jail. He tried to get me to relay drugs through a friend because he didnt have the legal right to prescribe out of state, that seems like skirting the law. He has already had medical licenses revoked from certain states, but he just moves and gets another one. He has made me feel so deeply powerless, and I believe I am, but at least I can leave this review, and maybe someone somewhere will be spared spending the 10k upfront on this scammer, and wasting their time and emotional energy investing into a narcissistic bully

Please research this person who calls himself a Dr. Psychiatrist, podcaster, expert witness, life coach, non medicating physician…
Depending on the time of day his profession changes. He can’t keep his “stories” straight.

An absolute parasite. Still recovering from the retraumatization of his gaslighting. He would yell at me and insult me when I tried to calmly point out how things weren't working. He was always trying to get me to sign up for his other programs. Stupidly I signed up for one of his courses, where they talked about almost nothing for months. It was baffling listening to these people talk because it was like they weren't saying anything at all. He required that I pay upfront for a long term plan, and then quietly renewed our contract without really addressing it. On one of the planned last days he got angry that we hadnt discussed it so it just kind of kept going. Someone else was footing my bill and I didn't realize how much this cost at first, or I would have never continued as long as I did. What a terrible mistake going to this carpet bagger was. Why does he have so many medical degrees in different states? Whats with all that legal action against him? He markets himself as a doctor who saw the light and turned to counseling, I suspect he got in trouble and lost his practice. His knowledge is rudimentary at best. I'm still unsure if this man is knowingly a scammer or if he is just delusional, but I hope he doesn't hurt many more people like he did me.

I seriously think the man that markets himself as Fred Moss MD is a scam. He claims to have over 40 years as a mental health worker but something doesn’t add up. He does not come across intelligent enough to be an MD. He jumps on the newest gimmick to make money. He now claims to be an expert podcaster! He says his producer is Ryan Levesque. Ryan Levesque the creator of the Ask method? No ..just another guy by the same name! What a scammer!

This guy is seriously f#%$ed up. Called the receptionist acting like he was calling the police. I stormed out, as this guy is clearly nuts. He called my local police dept that arrived at my house before I got home. Attempted to make 2 claims on my insurance for one visit. Also, he came in the office late looking like he just returned from a bike ride. Would have rated him 1 star, but website defaults to 2. Highly do not recommend

Coaching sessions spent discussing signing up for more sessions or to sign up for Landmark Forum. I spent over $10,000 and in our last session he was very unprofessional when he realized I would not be giving him any more money. He said “I really don’t want to work with you! It’s been no joy working with you. Then he made some comments on sexual issues I had told him about. Session ended then he texted me offering me a deal if I could pay him money. Then he texted me that he never wanted to hear from me again unless I sent him $7200.

I was horrified of him. He was my psych at a in patient unit in 2006 he came into my room one day and I was having a hallucination he yelled at me and said " stop it now! You're faking it and I'll take all your clothes and toss you in the padded room!" I wasn't faking it but I no longer told him about my hallucinations. I remember one day his son was there with him his son at the time was a teen and seemed so beat down and depressed probably because his dad is a verbal abusive moron

His treatment approach is not standard practice but he is knowledgeable and does care about the patients he commits to help.

I am reluctant to call Fred Moss a doctor. I'm not sure how this man can still have a medical license after the way he treated me and other patients in his practice. I was part of his "drug addiction rehab program", during this time I became friends with other addicts in the program that had the same concerns that I did. While sitting in the waiting room he would yell at other patients in his office so loudly that the rest of us could hear. Most addicts have many reasons for their addiction. Not just with the obvious physical addiction to a substance, but with anxiety, depression, and lack of self worth. When I started his program I was hoping that he could help with not just the physical withdraw but also help with the emotional aspect of being an addict. By his own admission he is a recovering alcoholic. So I was very surprised when he would talk down to me, yell at me, imply that I was a failure, and make me feel worse when I was looking to feel better.

I don't think it is a coincidence that he is no longer a qualified doctor on the Suboxone website. I can only imagine how many complaints and negative reviews that he received. Now he makes a living by testifying in court against other doctors. Basically, he is a key witness in a civil lawsuit against another doctor being accused of malpractice. Since I first saw him, almost ten years ago, he has moved his office three times. Could it be that when he stays in one location for too long the community realizes how debilitating his methods really are? In my line of work, if I treated people the way he does I would loose my license which is, in my opinion, precisely what should happen! He isn't "helping" anyone, he is simply helping himself by demeaning his patients to boost his ego and fill his pocket book. This man is a BULLY.

I hope the medical board receives enough complaints from patients to finally revoke this man's license to practice in the medical field.
