She was the first one to diagnose me with adhd. She’s a great listener and always was kind and understanding towards me. She’s really smart too.

This person should not be practicing medicine. She is very short tempered, yells, gives false information, touches without consent, is arrogant, brags about all of her accomplishments, is egotistical and just an all around bad psychiatrist. She won't collaborate with other mental health professionals because she seems to think that she knows it all and everyone else is below her. When suggesting that her diagnosis might be wrong (according to a couple other doctors) she got very angry and defensive and had some not so nice things to say about them and their opinions. In order to stay on her good side you have to stroke her ago a lot. Anything you say that would even a little bit make her feel like you're questioning her opinion or advice will cause her to lose all composure. I think that expects her patients to feel extremely lucky that she will even talk to them and that she wants people to bow at her presence. She's also loose with the privacy laws. She has talked to and given information on patients without them signing a consent form and without their permission. I've had conversations with a couple of other people who also had issues with her and we started questioning her past. It seems like it might be questionable. She started practicing medicine at a significantly older age than most people in her profession. Sure, some people do start their career later in life, but when trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together as to why she is the way she is and the fact that she obviously has psychiatric issues of her own, a few of us are thinking that perhaps she spent some of her life as a patient in a psychiatric facility and decided that since she had experienced her own mental illness that maybe she could help others. Maybe that's all far fetched, but she definitely does have some type of psychiatric illness and it's obvious she's not currently getting treated for it, or is on the wrong meds or something. Perhaps when she's on the right meds she is a pleasant and competent psychiatrist, but as it stands now, it seems like she needs to take a break and get some help herself. Sadly though it's rare for a narcissist to seek treatment, but I think in her current mental state she can only cause harm to her patients.

Don't see this doctor. All the reviews (Yelp, Healthgrades) are true. She has a pattern. She is cold, distant, reactive, unprofessional, and progressively abusive. Very hurtful person. Did a lot of damage and it looks like I'm not the only one. There are probably others who are still blaming themselves for her behavior (like I did, before some time and distance and talking it over with a therapist showed me otherwise). She should not be practicing.

She really listens. I felt listened to and respected. She feels like an old school doctor, the ones who really know you and show up and care.
