Please read and take this into sincere consideration as I would feel horrible for anyone to have to go through what I went through seeing this psychiatric NP. I asked the doctor a question about a particular medication; he pulled up his personal phone and researched the medication to make me read the side effects. The doctor completely made me question myself and I walked in anxious (have anxiety) and left with more anxiety than ever before to be quite honest. He’s difficult to understand and hear which is fine, but asked me a question about previous medications and I guess when I told him I repeated one of the medications by accident; instead of just passing it along, he responding by telling me you just keep repeating yourself are you listening do you not understand? It gets only worse. He later on said directly to me “are you ok, you’re off” direct quotation. I was not going to allow a NP to speak that way to me and responded with excuse me and he tried defending himself, but I would not tolerate that. Completely unprofessional with his shirt unbuttoned. He did not ask me one question about my depression or anxiety and only typed and stared at his computer the entire time asking simple questions such as are you married. I cannot believe and feel bad for any individual who has to sit through staring out the window while he criticizes you and is completely distracted and unprofessional. He simply wrote scripts of what I used to be on and did not care to ask why I’m on the medications or what the actual presenting concerns. You could not pay me any amount of money to go back to see him and it’s a shame for individuals seeking help to only feel more helpless and hopeless after walking out of the “session.”

Horrible doctor. Went to his Toms River office. Both he and the female doctor are rude and nasty. I actually felt WORSE after leaving. I went the third time today, they told me it was a 45 minute wait. Horrible!

Barabesh should have his license revoked. First of the man told me to stop taking Clonzepam, having been on it for 4 years. A class 3 Benzo that you need to taper off. My parents and I were concerned. I called the office to ask him to put this in writing as to what side effects I should expect. The receptionist called me to come in for an appointment. As soon as I went in Barabesh asked where my parents were, that they were suppose to come in. The message I received mention day and time only. He proceeded to get hostile as to why I called, when I tried to explain he accused me of yelling ( I wasn't). For the year that I have seen him he has made comments every visit ie. " Your not taking your medication" the next time it was " Your taking too much medication" I take 2 on low levels. Always accuses you of something, never listens and most importantly can't keep track of records. My last visit I discovered the scripts he was giving me were wrong. I take 1 pill once a day, he had been putting it down for twice a day! Run don't walk from this NP.

Barabash is absolutely horrible! He doesn’t listen to what you are saying or twists what you are saying. He diagnosed me wrong and argued with me in his office. He doesn’t care about his pts. The whole time I sat there I felt like I had to defend myself. You sit in his office while he types for 20 minutes. He even answered his phone during my appt. He’s a disgrace to the medical field and should not be practicing psychiatry.

This "Doctor" did the same things to my brother that he did to the people on these reviews. He told him that he had never heard of his condition... Depression and anxiety... then proceeded to prescribe him medication for those conditions. He prescribed Propranolol, Paxil and Buspar, which are all used to treat anxiety and depression! He called my brother a liar, wouldn't sign paperwork documenting his treatment until my mother went in with him, and when my brother told him that he had 6 friends recently pass away from drug overdoses, he asked my brother if he was on Heroin too! Upon arrival to his most recent appointment he asked my brother if my mother would be joining them again, and when my brother said, "No, she had to work," he said, "GOOD!" Why is this degenerate allowed to "practice" medicine, talk to people about their most personal, deep problems, and more importantly prescribe medications for conditions he clearly knows nothing about! This isn't just disgusting, it is scary, immoral, dehumanizing, degrading, medical malpractice, and could potentially lead to the loss of life if the people he is "treating" are experiencing suicidal thoughts. I am appalled at the lack of empathy this man shows his patients and the people in his practice should be held liable as well. We plan to take action in some way to ensure that he doesn't do anymore damage to these innocent people. I hope that the patients writing these reviews were able to seek treatment from a better facility and are on their way to getting the help they deserve.

I wish I could rate a zero. This is the most unprofessional facility I've ever been to in my life. The goal is to help patients suffering from mental health issues, not make them feel worse. Plus, one doctor contradicts another in terms of treatment. They don't listen to you or care about what your feeling. The worst is their lack of manners period. For a medical doctor to actually call you "disturbed" is just about the most disgusting thing ever. Both Dr. Perisamy and Nurse practitioner, Rostislav Barabash, should have their licenses ripped from them. What a truly horrible facility this is-beware!

I found him to be very smart, kind, and a gentleman. Best I ever saw. A psychiatric Nurse? He is a Doctor to me.

I have been seeing Rosti for years. I have NO IDEA WHY. He's terrible, he's rude, and he is always in a hurry to get you out the door. I am diagnosed BP2 and was having the worst depression phase I've ever experienced, I asked to be put on Latuda. He told me the reason I was depressed was because I was "withdrawing" from a stimulant ADHD medication that I was prescribed for only 2 months, 8 MONTHS LATER. Like, all of a sudden, 8 months later I'm going through these terrible withdraws? He dismissed my claim of depression and sent me on my way. I had suicidal ideation for a month and almost went to the hospital at least 5 times before they would finally get me in on an emergency basis. I brought my mother with me to testify on my behalf (literally he thinks he knows all, you don't know anything, and you're lying about everything so I had to bring her), he still accused me of lying and was rude to my mother. She said I'm terribly depressed, I can't get out of bed, I cry all the time, I never go out, etc... she said "My daughter NEEDS medication for her depression. I'm losing her." HE IN TURN SAID TO HER VERY SARCASTICALLY, "You have a medical background? Hmmm?? What do YOU do for a living seeing you know SO much?" If it wasn't illegal I would have slapped him in the face. Never seeing him again. I highly recommend you find someone else. Do not see him. He's not even a doctor, he's a Nurse Practitioner and he is not educated in the psychiatric field. This is the tragedy of our mental health system.
