This doctor is completely unfit to be in this field. I saw him in 2010 and he misdiagnosed me with bipolar disorder, and proceeded to put me on several very impairing medications that made everything so much worse. I was a mess already, and completely changing all of my medication caused me to almost lose my job. After that, everything spun out of control. My fiance and I split, because neither one of us could handle my condition. At this point, I just sunk into a depression and couldn't get out. I felt like a failure at life and was almost disconnected from reality due to the medication.

Fast forward- after my life literally collapsed around me, I moved and eventually found a very observant psychotherapist who diagnosed me with ADHD- combined type. I was also on the more "severe" side of the spectrum. With proper medication, I have been able to go back to school for accounting and move into my own place- something I never could have imagined before.

Long story, but I wanted to share my experience to warn others about this. Another fun fact: in one session, I was explaining something (in tears), and the doctor looked down at me and says "Get over yourself!"

Wow. Maybe you should take a look in the mirror.

Absoulutely a great and skilled psychiatrist. Looks at the whole picture. The most knowledgable physician I have ever known. Helps immensely to understand mental health issues.
