I have seen Dr. Lipkin for over 15 years. I relied on him and trusted him. I referred countless clients to him.
Over the last three years, his commitment to his profession and overall patient care has significantly declined. Dr. Lipkin has a strict policy prohibiting connecting him if in crisis ( unusual for a psychiatrist). I overstepped and texted him between appointments having no one else to turn to. Dr. Lipkin terminated treatment with me that day over a text message. (Texts are not HIPAA compliant in his case). I apologized and requested to meet to discuss and terminate properly, but he refused. Psychotropic medication is tricky and, in large amounts, can be fatal. A doctor is fully aware of a patient’s vulnerabilities and mental health; I feel abandoned, lost, disappointed, and shocked. I trusted Dr. Lipkin, and he played on my weakness. I currently take four psych medications prescribed by a doctor who fired me.
