I have been a patient for 7 years and could not have found a better doctor and staff. From day one I was treated like an actual human and listened to instead of being railroaded as I was with prior doctors trying to change what I was feeling to make their job easier. It is a very busy office but that’s to be expected when you have a great doctor and he takes his time with his patients. My anxiety and other issues I had been suffering with since seeking treatment here have dissipated down 75%. The office staff was always helpful and the best part was the TMS therapy I started. That was a game changer along with the psychotherapy I received. Overall hands down one of the best doctors I’ve ever had and I’m so thankful for all the help I received from him and the office staff as well.

So my story probably takes the cake. He actually hired me onto his staff and got me qualified to do TMS. He befriended me, let me stay at his house so I could get him to work. This was after his second DUI. When he did make it to work, he'd be hung over, would lose on average of a patient a day. I worked for him while he defrauded insurance companies and stalked his ex girlfriend to no end. It was like trying to control a train already off the racks. I didn't receive a single penny and he stole all the money I made from doing TMS. Keep in mind I am a patient of his, his friend, and his ride, oh yes, most importantly his alarm clock. He's stolen so many people's social security numbers as well as pictures of all patients licenses. I was starting to believe he wasn't even a real Doctor. He took a short cut getting his doctorate out of the country. He's put me back years mentally and about a year set back financially. He's a fraud. An alcoholic and a drug user. Junkie Doctor, Pill Mill. My family calls him Dr. DEATH. He's a stalker, I have a recording of him telling me he was having Mr followed, and he told me my entire day. I recorded this. He didn't believe me. Great Liar. Gotta give credit when due. See u around Taras:)

Didenkos DEA license has been revoked per his receptionist Kamala. Some reason this is not being made public anywhere let alone from him. The office told me this yesterday after almost 2 weeks of unanswered calls saying "he's been upset and hasn't been coming into the office". Well doc you obviously screwed up and cannot take responsibility for that so you have reception trying to explain your troubles. What about all the patients you have been prescribing for? You don't feel an obligation to let us know? I have been a patient for over 5 years. You have been prescribing a controlled substance for me for this duration. No email/letter nothing? He knows his patient's cannot just stop taking certain medications due to severe side effects but clearly this is not of importance. What a disgrace.

FRAUD. Exorbitant fake billing, then they deducted a large sum (over $1,000) randomly from my account a year after I’ve even spoken to them, that was never authorized. Trying to keep the lights on by stealing.
I have never even met the doctor or even spoken to him, I have gone years getting prescriptions filled via his receptionist with no appointment. Then they double-bill for hours long psychotherapy appointments that never took place. I can prove all of this, and it’s only a matter of time before he loses his license AGAIN, leaving his patients high and dry, cut off from medication.

Dr Drug Dealer has continued prescribing large amounts of benzos even after being informed he not only has mental health but drug addiction issues. Even after OD Dr. Drug Dealer prescribed him another 60 kolopin! OD's on Benzos and heroin everytime time. Script filled on 4/21 14 million left and my son has been in the hospital since last week. Will he return calls? No! Apologetic? Clearly No! Cares that he is assisting my son in killing himself? Seems to enjoy the profit off of that. Doesn't deserve to keep his license.

I finally found my psychiatrist after I went through so many crappy ones. I believe psychiatrist has to be the one that I can tell my story, and Dr Didenko is the one. Throughout our conversation,I felt I was really being listened to. Then, he explained his opinions on my conditions and his plans to deal with my situations in words that I could easily understand. I would definately recommend him to all my friends whoever need psychiatrist.
