It's frightening that this woman is practicing medicine, and especially psychiatry. She will not listen to the patient or even to other professionals; she is an argumentative, condescending know-it-all, and actually gave this patient (a young man) incorrect information to avoid having to say "I don't know." She made a diagnosis and wrote notes about it in the chart BEFORE EVEN MEETING THE PATIENT, and her diagnosis was dangerously wrong, according to subsequent doctors. Nonetheless, when the patient's parents questioned the basis for her diagnosis, she responded by saying that she is "married to a lawyer" and knows how she's supposed to do things. She reportedly harms young patients on a regular basis (according to one of her co-workers). I've given her a one-star rating only because there's no option for zero.

VERY unsympathetic, unwilling to listen (even to experts in the field re: patient), quick to diagnose PRIOR TO EVALUATION OF PATIENT; she crushed a young boy by refusing to listen to him, and repeatedly giving him a canned speech. He told his mom, "She thinks I'm mentally ill. I'm NOT a mental patient!!" Poor evaluative skills; depends on "counselors" to tell her what to do.

I was depressed even though I was taking another doctors medicine. Dr. Mcgovern changed my medicine and I feel better. She was very kind to me. I am not seeing anybody but her anymore.

Dr. McGovern was a good listener. Good bedside manner. Her diagnosis and medication changes got me back on the right track after months of inactivity, anxiety and depression. Its good to know there are professionals out there who can help you when youre at your worst.

Just a wonderful experience. She really took the time to listen to me, and had the guts to tell me things I did not want to hear, but needed to.

Very unsyphathetic, uncaring, too quick to diagnose, suggest you not see her at all.

I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt and she didn't believe that I was depressed?? She doubled the dose of the medication that was making my condition worse, misdiagnosed me, in result of which, I was denied the only treatment that has ever helped me, did not listen to me, and treated me like a common criminial. I had to call my family doctor to get my medicine changed; the very thing that she should have done when I was in the midst of hospital stay #2, two weeks later, for the same problem. If it wasn't for my family doctor interveneing I would have never survived.
