Horrible doctor. Got me addicted to Xanax, then refused to taper me down or increase dosage. Horrible memory. Didn't even remember simple things about me and my situation. DO NOT GO TO THIS DOCTOR. You have been warned

Time to retire. Rude to patients. Takes calls from other patients during my time. His wife walks in without knocking. Major HIPPAA violations!

Very forgetful and disorganized! Not helpful at all! Should not be practicing and should be retired!

I can't believe this man is still practicing. It was many years ago that he caused me so much trauma that it took years of therapy with a GOOD therapist to recover. He was incredibly mean, uncaring, smug. I should have sued. Stay far away.

Good listener. Very knowledgeable of medications and helped me a lot by changing me to different meds than I had been on. His intervention got me through a severe anxiety attack related to my bipolar disorder. Lynn in his office always had time to listen and has a long background in dealing with psychiatric issues. She helped me find resources for a suicidal teenager and talked with me "off the clock."

Dr: Rude, lacking compassion, disorganized, forgetful, doesn't like to be questioned, smug, superior attitude, couldn't hide his disdain for me the entire time I was his patient, refused to take any notes, refused to consult years of notes from previous doctors, repeatedly stated none of the medications I was using would work (thought they did wonderfully), misdiagnosed me during a crisis despite having had the same diagnosis for eight years from other doctors. I'd almost rather be in a psychiatric hospital than have to deal with him. The staff: rude, ignorant, lacking compassion, disorganized, incompetent, needs to learn how to effectively work with people seeking mental and emotional health services.
