So before you read I went to this appointment unbiased, and just hoping she would be okay. I read all the reviews I could find and she seemed to be a good doctor. Maybe she was just mean to me because I'm fat. Her comments made it obvious that weight loss for me was part of the "complex treatment plan"

So there were many red flags I shouldve left the second she call me obese. It was uncalled for and irrelevant and being psychiatrist and knowing I have an eating disorder I would think shed know not to comment on my appearance or weight. One of the worst things about the whole appointment is she told me to wean off completely free Lithium 600 my that I'd been taking for a year in 6 days. Being a doctor I would assume she knows how dangerous that could be for me. When I asked if that could make me sick with withdrawal she said if I was worried of getting sick I could wean for 2 weeks then be off it. I looked online it said the dosage should be lowered in increments every 2-6 weeks. I've been weaned off many meds and I know that's not safe to do. She didn't know anythinf about eating disorders repeatedly mentioned weight loss even after I told her I didn't want to focus on weight loss. Seeing as the disease I suffer from thrives off of concept of skinny cures all FML so upset. also asked graphic details of a traumatic experience if I penetrated or touched. Theres no reason you need to know that to help me. Will you prescribe something different if I was touche? How is that relevant. Trauma is trauma. If you're really sensitive and deal with trauma or PTSD or have body image issues or an eating disorder I recommend trying somewhere else. Or try this out. It doesn't hurt to try. You might like her. I'm not coming back. I left feeling so triggered and stupid for opening up about my stuff and having her talk to me like she didn't believe me.

Dr. Furman is a wonderful Doctor. She really takes her time with you and listens to what you are saying and feeling. I was with Dr. Furman for a few years. I have ADHD and Anxiety Disorder. She helped me tremendously. I went to a seminar on ADHD and heard a Specialist on ADHD. I decided to take to this new Dr and get some information. I am seeing the specialist right now, but do miss Dr. Furmans kind chair side manner. I highly recommend dr. Furman and if this move does not feel right, I will go back to her in a minute.

Like the other comments said she's just a fantastic doctor. Really cares about her patients and has even made time for me on short notice, even staying after her normal hours once to accommodate my schedule. Just to note I'm really cynical and usually think businesses write their own reviews to hype themselves, but that's not the case here, she really is just great.

Dr. Furman is awesome. She's "old school", but it works. I definitely recommend her.

Wow! This doctor is a true example of what a doctor should be. I wish more people like Dr. Furman went into medicine. Not only does she demonstrate keen knowledge and intuition, Dr. Furman truly and genuinely cares about her patients. She is always, at all times, available to her patients and I feel that we are truly working together to get me better.

She is an excellent, caring physician. Always thinking of way to save her patients money on pharmaceuticals and suggesting non-drug therapies whenever possible.
