Dr. Dragovich saved my life a long time ago. I was a mixed up, needy teenager with Borderline Personality Disorder. Dr. Susan Dragovich worked with me for years & guided me through the difficulties of being a teenager, living in a tough situation. I can’t say enough good things about her!

Well...my former wife used Susan Dragovich in 2011 as an expert witness. More specifically, she was retained as an "expert witness" to counter final recommendations made by the custody evaluator assigned to our case at the time. Here's the thing...he had 32 years experience at the time he conducted our eval. Although he ultimately recommended custody remain with my X given her age, he also laid out (multiple) concerns (he had) regarding my former wife. Additionally, he recommended liberal parenting time and made a series of predictions concerning a potential alienation case and therefore expressed the need for the court to ensure a father-daughter relationship. Our evaluation included multiple visits, in-person interviews, reference interviews and psychological tests. It took three months to complete. S. Drogovich (having never interviewed me, my partner, our daughter or any relevant party outside my X) presented in court; all designed to refute the custody evaluator's report. As a former medical provider, I know that refuting another professional's work (having never reviewed their notes or even discussed a case/patient with them) is borederline malpractice. It, at minimum, shows a willingness to render a professional opinion with inadequate data, as well as, counter a colleague's findinings. If you're going to do THAT, you should probably have a well-documented and well-established reason for doing so. Anyways, I could go on about this particular situation but here's the punchline...I now have sole custody of our daughter after ALL of the original evalulator's predictions came to fruition AND two other female evaluators (chosen by my X) recommended a change in custody. Mind you, this is in Oregon (traditionally a tough state for men in regards to custodial law)...IMHO, if you run across her, insist that your attorney contest her appointment as an evaluator. Especially, if one of the local attorneys (a few law firms in particular) employ her!!!!

Pretty sure she is on the payroll of some of the local lawyer's in town. She ripped a child out of his stable mother's home and left him with his psycho father who is an alcoholic pain pill addicted dumbo. Do not use this women. She is bamboozled by deliberate acts of narcissistic pathological liars and made at least $6,000 of her poor judgement. She is deliberately ruining the life of teenagers by leaving them in homes with mis-guidance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All she cares about is money. No staff, messy office, messy house, lazy. Note old typewritten material! Makes quick, sloppy judgements. Sad that children's welfare depends on her apathetic greed.

My experience with miss Dragovichs was awful she totally misread who the better custodial person should be and let my granddaughter go to a pedophile and a murderer. Do not use her in any evaluation the woman doesn't know what she's doing !!

I used Susan for my evaluation and I was very impressed with her professional opinions. She did a great job with both sides and had accurate pros and cons from both parties and used her best judgment to make her decision. I would strongly suggest using her if you want a honest view point.

Dr. Dragovich was very thorough about her work and was a very professional therapist. She helped me sort through the little stuff and was able to help me with my issues.

I have used Dr. Dragovich on numerous occasions as a custody evaluator. I've been very impressed at her skill in evaluating parents and making recommendations in the best interests of children. I think she is very competent and an expert evaluator.

I wish I could go back in time and keep my child and I away from this counselor. Went to another counselor to try to undo the damage done. My experience left me feeling like there should be some sort of oversight of a counselor's competence in order to protect the public, especially our children.
