"I've been trying to avoid this man for his notorious reputation among not only my own mother who's seen him but even my own therapist as well, for being an awful doctor. He is very cold, doesn't really listen and doesn't seem to care much for anything besides giving you meds and getting you out of his sight. I was forced to see him at the psych ward he works in at Beaver, and I dreaded the experience. However, I give him points for being an interesting person. I actually don't hate him, I'm fascinated by him. He has an interesting and odd sense of humor he incorporated even while talking about my suicide attempt that brought me there. We share a sense of humor and darkness that I found easy to relate to. But, I would never recommend him to ANYONE seeking a permanent or long term psychiatrist. I'm only writing this BECAUSE I want to help someone else, trust me. It's an uncomfortable medical experience, but at least he was interesting to talk to about non-medical things. Then again this is just how I feel, this type of treatment might work for someone else. Cold, dark, straightforward and to the point. No nonsense. Just meds. P.S. if any of you have read or watched Bungou Stray Dogs, he reminds me a lot like Fyodor. Who is also a fictive in my system, as well. It was as if I were seeing a psychiatrist version of my own persecutor, it was uncomfortable lol"

"I have only been to this facility once so far, but was prescribed cymbalta. Last month I was out of my,medication & it took 3 days for them to send me over a refill, after I called numerous times. This month I am out once again and have called the office 3 times now and was told they would send my script over and call me once they did so. Needless to say. I have yet to receive it, have had no return phone call, and it is now the weekend. Therefore I have no medication and will be sicker than a dog until hopefully just,Monday. And they expect these medications to work yet it takes DAYS just for them to send over a damn refill. Ridiculous. I will be having my family doctor who actually cares about my well being prescribe it next month and will not return to this office."
