This doctor wasted years of my life, which I will never get back. He misled me and my healthcare for years on end, ruined relationship’s with family members, and turned me into a mental health puppet! I am permanently damaged due to his incorrect treatment of my medical condition, his manipulative coercive control, inflexibility, and poor treatment methods.

I was thankful that I was referred to Dr Meagher by my neurologist. He is caring, friendly and compassionate. He is patient in answering all my questions. I feel very comfortable talking to him.
I will continue to see him in the years to come.

Dr Meagher is a compassionate and dedicated psychiatrist who treated me through some of my darkest days. Warm and empathetic, he takes a holistic approach to managing psychiatric illness and really tailors treatment to the individual rather than a ‘one-fits-all’ approach. I cannot recommend him enough

He was always in a rush to end the appointment the second it began, gave the impression that my presence was an inconvenience. Would leave the room to answer his phone. Did not listen to me at all (or just didn't care) and prescribed medication which made me significantly worse. Providee incorrect information regarding treatment options.

I was an inpatient. He wouldn’t listen half the time. I tried to tell him I felt I was bipolar due to aggressive feelings on medications. Said no not the case. Appointments were short and as an inpatient he then went overseas mid way through my admission. I felt like I didn’t matter to this guy. He always says, “ok I’ve got to go I have to see another patient, or I have another meeting to go to”. Just total disregard. Lacked any warmth or compassion or understanding when I’ve been dealing with long term treatment resistant depression. He left me feeling hopeless and considering not living anymore. I felt completely cast adrift. At my last appointment he said, “well what do you want to do if you can’t tolerate medication”. That not my job!!!!

Very kind and warm, my son felt very comfortable with him and valued his advice. Son will see him on a regular basis as required to monitor and support my son’s trauma recovery , after his school’s abusive and negligent treatment of him despite school’s knowledge of alleged bullying, his mental distress and his ASD. Impressed by good reviews and advice.

Dr Meagher is an exceptional clinician. His manner is warm, personable and courteous. His education about neuropharmacology is very enlightening. Additionally, he is very astute in co-constructing psychological strategies to improve mood management as well as addressing relationship issues.

I have seen Dr Meagher for over a decade. In that time he has consistently been an empathetic professional who has worked with me to manage my struggles with anxiety and depression. Over this time, I have markedly improved in how well I manage these struggles, and this would not have been possible without him. I would not hesitate to recommend him as a doctor who treats all who see him with care, patience, and dignity.

Dr Meagher was the first health professional I felt comfortable enough with to disclose the sexual abuse I endured as a child and adolescent. Following my disclosure, it has been a long road to recovery but he has remained an important source of support for me and my family – particularly during my participation in The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. Dr Meagher also helped me greatly by linking me to appropriate specialists to deal with the other medical issues that have arisen from the trauma. He has always treated me with respect, dignity and seen me as a “survivor” instead of a “victim”. Professional, a good listener, empathetic, and capable of explaining highly complex medical issues in easy to understand language, I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Meagher.
