Dr. Dyer is a terrible psychiatrist. I saw him a few years ago for anxiety issues. He put me on 4mg of Klonopin per day (yes, a lot). It was helping my anxiety while I was also seeing a therapist to help me manage as well.
Without warning or explanation, he just stopped my medication all at once. At first, I just agreed because I thought that he knew better than I did and this must be an ok practice. I had the most awful withdrawals. When I called the agency emergency after hours line because I felt like I was going crazy, for some reason the operator put me through to Dr. Dyer’s home (I was hoping to speak to someone on call, not Dr. Dyer himself). When I explained how I was feeling and what was going on, he reprimanded me and told me to never call him again. I was really hurting. He should have weaned me off the medication and empathized with my situation. Instead, He was rude, unprofessional, and quite awful. If you have a choice, pick anyone but him.

He never calls back even when I leave multiple messages telling him how badly I am feeling on the meds. They do not have a psychiatrist on staff 24/7 so I have to talk to him. Last time i spoke with him, he told me not to page him after 10:30pm in bed because he was sleeping. The only reason I did so was because I called multiple times and he did call me back at my home after 10:30pm. I felt condescended to and disrespected. I feel like he has his own agenda and is not really interested in spending enough time with me.
