Double spaced red flags flying!!!
Imagine the type of person it takes to (obviously) masquerade as an ardent supporter of a clinician on a professional practice rating website with absolute unbridled arrogance in their expectation that people will simply swallow it without asking serious questions? Despite continuing to display all of the same idiosyncrasies in every single previous double spaced passive aggressive testament to an individuals supposedly "preeminent" ability in practice?
And imagine the type of person it takes to receive such consistent criticism and apparently refuse to self-examine ones own modus-operandi, but instead continue to exhibit such bizarre and worrying behavior as masquerading on a professional practice rating website? Yikes!!!

I check in to see comments occassionally, and then I wonder if others have seen an imposter!!
Phil has been an anchor for me for a long time. He is supportive and honest and he does make the effort to give you a bit of a push when you need it!!
If you can open your eyes and see what he sees, and reflect on that you might benefit. And then you might be grateful for his skill and expertise. Sometimes his comments are annoying and confronting.
And sometimes, when you think about it, those annoying and confronting comments make sense.
And then you manage to use that knowledge to move forward.
Good Luck!! You might actually be taking a step into your future.
I love the payment system now. Using a card is much better than trotting off to medicare with receipts for refunds!!!
And arent we lucky in Australia... Medicare, Mental Health Care Plans, psychiatrists, access to mental health care....

It would seem from reading the comments and actually seeing him for treatment that this man can be either a Jekyll or Hyde. Some comments would have you believe he is some sort of god whereas my experience was of a very cold distant person displaying very little empathy at all. Not at all giving the impression that he wanted to help you work through your problems or allay your concerns - not that I wanted sympathy or someone to do the work for me just someone who demonstrated understanding. It would seem that he has a ‘one treatment fits all’ approach which to my mind is a lazy way to deal with individuals. His attitude to money leaves one with the impression that this is uppermost in his mind and perhaps even the sole reason for practicing. I personally know of a patient who was charged an exorbitant amount for their consultations (compared to me) which left me feeling this was a man without morals or ethics an opinion that should this be used to describe me I would die of shame.
So I would suggest that should you decide to engage with this man you do so at your own peril.

like a handful of mental health professionals/patients, this guy is suss. Ever seen a police officer or a school teacher and thought why the hell are they what they are for a living? So unrelated, how many of you have seen silence of the lambs?

(Mental health nurse come patient) Bed-side manor leaves it all plus everything taught in kindergarten to be desired... The intercourse for my third consult, verbatim consisted of "hello" followed by approximately 90-120 seconds later "bank card?" Don't need to be a psychiatrist to recognise the ultimate outcome. Dr Salonikis practices completely by the book (aka: DSM; whenever he graduated last) much the same as an AI chat-bot might, any human feedback is either professionally stifled, or unfortunately intrinsically absent. If you are about raw pure data and its twenty something year old scientific interpretation, then this is the man for you! However, if you have evolved further than a "great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jelly" (aka human being) then a human-being may be more up your alley. If you're about grossly financially insignificant (and I'm talking upwards of $560 per hour, cash-back depending on insurance) outcomes consisting of "what do you think?" then invest in a pyramid scheme... You will likely come out with greater wisdom.
