A friend who was treated during her pregnancy recommended me to her, but as the other reviews say, this psychiatrist is only good for pregnant women. I am a single woman struggling with anxiety and depression, but she did not seem to care much. She changed all of my medications and didn’t believe me when I told her I wasn’t feeling well. She put words into my mouth and never took the time to truly understand my issues and help me. She thought she was doing what was “best” for me, but from the moment I started seeing her, I felt ten times worse. It was almost impossible to even schedule my first appointment with her, as she was not at all accommodating and was very rude. She only works till 5 pm, so if you work a 9-5 job, you’re basicly screwed. She won’t even see you during typical breaks because she wants to be with her college-aged children. She makes it very clear that her patients are not her priority. She told me to call her if I was experiencing issues with the new medications, but she wouldn’t return my calls or text messages right away (usually took her several hours; one time, I didn’t get a response till 9 pm even though I texted and called her in the morning about an allergic reaction I was having to a new medication). She was very intimidating and threatened to “lock me up” or call an ambulance to escort me to the ER from her office. I’ve finally found a real psychiatrist who I can fully trust. He immediately changed all of the medications that Preminger put me on, and he took the time to listen to me and understand my issues, so he could better treat me. Ever since he undid all the damage and harm that Preminger caused, I have felt 100 times better! I really hit rock bottom with Preminger. She made me feel truly worthless, and the medication she put me only worsened my anxiety and depression to the point where I didn't even want to live. I shared this with my friend who recommended her, and she has even expressed some disappointment with Preminger (could be because she is no longer pregnant, so Preminger doesn’t care about her anymore). As soon as I met my new psychiatrist, he explained that a doctor is supposed to help you—not make you feel worse. He restored my faith in psychiatrists and proved to me that there are doctors who truly care! He is extremely flexible with scheduling and he responds to calls and texts within a few minutes. He is the complete opposite of Preminger and I couldn’t be more grateful for that!

This doctor is terrible! Stay away and find someone in network that knows anxiety and depression very well.Not only does this doctor bully patients but she does not know her meds very well. She prescribed me meds that were not working and made my condition worse. when I got a second opinion, the second opinion doctors told me that I've been prescribed the wrong medication. Do not trust this doctor. She was a huge disappointment and I will never be going back to her. Stay away!!!

It is nearly impossible to describe all that Dr. Preminger has done to help me. In the time I have treated with her, she has helped me to make significant positive changes in my life. She is always a phone call away, and has talked to me several times on off hours (late at night or weekends). She is an excellent doctor and a compassionate person. I have discussed incredibly personal and difficult subjects with her because she makes me comfortable to do so; and in so doing I was able to grow beyond what I imagined possible at the start. I recommended a friend to her, who is very pleased. I am healthier emotionally and physically because she does not let me stay in my comfort zone, but positively encourages me into much needed changes. I engaged in meaningful self-analysis in and after the sessions - something I would never have been able to do without her excellent care. If you are a woman in need of a Psychiatrist - you should definitely call Dr. Preminger!
