Extreme lack of empathy and concern for patients struggling with co-occurring disorders. Very condescending and poor interpersonal skills. Left feeling worse than when I went in.

The doctor seems very removed from the situation/illness. She did not promptly return calls and did not have the urgency as family members did of the seriousness of the illness. This doctor released the patient from the hospital, left town for two weeks, and the patient committed suicide the day after he was released from the hospital. The medication had not had time to be regulated for patient and dosage had increased while in the hospital...Risperdal, Depkote, and Klonapin.
