Amalathas Simona MD

"The phone receptionist is terribly unprofessional and rude. I haven’t gotten to chance to meet the Dr. but it matters who you let work for you."

"Dr. Amalathas is a pragmatic, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate physician who my husband and I both highly recommend for the care of yourself and/or your family. She has seen our family through some of our darkest days and we will forever be grateful to her."

"I saw Dr. Amalathas for a few years, and she proved instrumental in getting me through a very rough part of my life. She proved to be very caring, compassionate, & took the time to really listen & understand what was going on in my life. She was even able to deduce that I suffered from Adult ADHD from a couple of clues, something previous doctors had missed. Emergency appointments were always accommodated, usually that very day. I wholeheartedly recommend her, and would gladly to return to her for any future care."

"Dr. Simona Amalathas is a very caring physician. She listened to me and took the time to find the best treatment for my particular issue. She is knowledgeable and kind and made me feel comfortable and cared for at a low point in my life. I highly recommend her."

"I regret having to write this review but am doing so in the interest of those that are considering treatment with this woman. Dr. Amalathas nearly cost me my life. I began seeing her for treatment of depression. She immediately took me off of two drugs that I had been on, while I was unsure that it was wise to withdraw these medications, I trusted her medical opinion. She indicated that she hoped to soon have me off all meds but I refused to let her remove my base anti depressant. The withdrawal of medication by Dr. Amalathas sent me into a major depressive episode. It was the worst I had ever experienced befor. When I went to see her during this crisis she indicated that she learned from my therapist that I occasionally smoked marijuana and that she refused to treat me any further as a result. Being bailed on my her during a time of complete crisis made me angry and left me feeling incredibly abandoned and without hope. I do not believe any doctor, such as a psychiatrist, who has such direct control over those at risk of taking their own life should completely abandon their patient at such a time of crisis. She is of course entitled to her own policies however, if you do decide to treat with her, I would recommend keeping your mouth shut about anything that she may find personally offensive. Specifically if you smoke marijuana, as many of us do - medicinally or otherwise- absolutely keep that to yourself. I am now struggling to find a new doctor after learning that Dr. Amalathas is not one that can be counted on. Your life is too valuable to be trusted to the hands of Dr. Amalathas. I am both lucky and blessed to have had a solid support system around me after being abandoned by her. I truly believe that she put my life at direct risk."
