"Dr. Claremont couldn’t have been more off-base when it came to my evaluation. An evaluation that I only requested because of a situation with my daughter and her husband. I am over 60 years old and I’ve been through a lot in life. Including divorce, loss of a pregnancy after 7 1/2 months of pregnancy, and other family difficulties. But… I made it through the rain. I raised two children (one with special needs) and he is flourishing thanks to the continued efforts of my ex husband and I and his sister and brother-in-law. He is good to go! Where I went wrong with my daughter I do not know… I gave her my all as well. But I did the evaluation to satisfy her and now I wish I had not.. Why? Because Dr. Claremont doomed me. I call it name-calling… How did she come up with all of these personality disorders from a 200 question questionnaire where 100 questions were repeats, and a few questions to the daughter that caused the situation, and my ex-husband.!?! From those three things and less than three hours with me, she came to the conclusion that I have traits of several different personality disorders, including schizophrenia, and paranoia. I can tell you now I’ve never heard voices and I’ve never seen people that aren’t there. I’m a worry wart, but I’m not paranoid. I didn’t have fear of highway issues until later in life. Until my mid-40s I went everywhere, but then I had panic attacks during my divorce and it happened driving the parkway. Scared the living daylights out of me and I said well, I’m not doing that again, and I accepted it. But this does not limit my activity. I volunteer and continue to help others. I travel by car, train, plane, and bus, and have no fear of doing so. My lack of highway driving does not restrict me at all. In fact, I know quite a few people who don’t drive the highway anymore… That doesn’t make you paranoid. It means you have limitations. Because I talk about my problems doesn’t make me narcissistic. I am far from it. I have no one at home to vent to so sometimes I talk about my problems to others a little too much. Did I not mention that? She also said, I have narcissistic personality disorder, and the list goes on. This report was more damaging than helpful and I wish I could erase it and in fact I’m going to look to see if there’s a way that I can because I sure as hell am not sharing it with anybody else. Stay away from this practice! They are dangerous!"

"I don't want to be rude, especially since I did not speak with any providers directly. But as someone whose life has DRASTICALLY improved with the use of two "controlled substances", I think this information may be valuable to other potential patients in my position, but at the end of the day this practice is entitled to operate however it pleases. I reached out to this office regarding medication management for ADHD. I have taken the same medications for over a decade. I cancelled my initial session when I read the clause in the intake paperwork that says "we discourage use of unnecessary long-term use of controlled substances" (which they define as "stimulants, some sleep aides [sic] and anticonvulsants ) and "If you are prescribed these medications, need for continued use will be evaluated periodically and you may be asked to provide random urine samples." Excuse me? You're not the cops or my doctor, I'm not giving you a urine sample. I've met people with pre-existing biases regarding amphetamines, but to include anticonvulsants in that? Didn't sit right with me. A holistic/natural approach doesn't work for everyone, but some people don't want to believe that."

"Dr. Stephane Clermont has been absolutely fantastic over the past two years. She always goes above and beyond to ensure her patients needs and wants are met. I couldn’t recommend a better psychiatric physician."

"Words can’t even begin to express how thankful I am for the exceptional care Dr. Stephane Clermont has provided me over the past year. It took me years to work up the courage to see somebody concerning my anxiety, and I am very glad that Dr. Clermont was the psychiatrist I found. She has such a wonderful way of truly listening to your concerns and working with you to come up with a individualized solution that works for you. The level of empathy she displays each appointment is astounding, and I’ve never met a healthcare professional who responds as quickly as she does. Overall, Dr. Clermont is an exceptional psychiatrist and should be your first choice if you are looking for a comfortable environment to improve your mental health."

"In my ten years of seeing a professional, Dr. Stephane Clermont is one of the best at what she does. I have never felt more safe, heard and understood by a dr that not only is a professional, but an genuine individual that believes in the well being of my mental health. She responses in a reasonable time and is always quick to get back to you if you need her before your sessions. It has been such a great relief having a proactive dr that is very resourceful in getting the proper care her patients need. After many years and countless doctors I can finally be at ease with trusting my mental health with this practice."
