Reviews of Sofia M. Encarnacion, MD
"If I could give 0 stars, I would. She was incredibly rude and unprofessional. After no more than 3 minutes of speaking, she told me that she would not be taking me on as a patient for reasons she refused to elaborate on. It wasn’t until I spoke with the receptionist that she explained Encarnacion’s probable reasoning but even she agreed that it was unprofessional. AND SHE STILL CHARGED ME TO SEE HER??? I can tell by over reviews that I was not alone in her malpractice so I would definitely encourage anyone reading this to see anyone else!!"
"Dr. Encarnacion helped me when I had an urgent and sudden disability (I had an onset of a rare eye disease causing blindness). I needed anxiety and depression as well as panic attack attack medication immediately. She made arrangements to meet with me immediately and was kind, comforting and supportive. Our patient Dr. relationship has grown throughout the year and you may need to give these things time. She is also very thorough and by the books as far as proper diagnosis/medications go. I appreciate how she conducts our appointments quickly and thoroughly. I plan for them and understand that she requires a 3 month appointment per refill which is an acceptable request that I prepare for. I will continue to see Dr. Encarnacion."
"TLDR: I had a similar experience to the other reviewers. Forced monthly appointments for routine refills, refusal to consider writing FMLA letter, and late to every appointment. In 2021, Dr. E forced me to keep monthly appointments with her just to get my regular ol’ Wellbutrin refills. Luckily, my GP took over this prescription, so I’m no longer enabling her grift. Unfortunately, I just attempted to resume care with Dr. E because I believe my meds need an adjustment and I need an FMLA letter, but she said she does not do disability paperwork and I’ll need a new psychiatrist, entirely. Why? “There’s a lot of things I don’t do.” …ok… Dr. E went on to assert incorrect info about the FMLA process, which could have thwarted me, had I not already done independent research. If you have a condition that may require short- or long-term disability at any point in the future (I’d say that’s pretty much anyone engaging in psychiatric care), avoid this doctor. UPDATE: Dr. E had the audacity to charge me for the 2-minute “visit” wherein she said she wouldn’t work with me. She should have canceled with me 4 weeks ago, when I indicated in her scheduling portal that I needed FMLA help. Is this attempted insurance fraud?"
"Dr. Encarnacion is more interested in making money off her patients than helping them. She is extremely unprofessional and only spent 3 min on the call with me for the 4th time to prescribe a simple depression medication (Prozac) that I have been on for 5 years and then doesn't send the prescription to the pharmacy and plays games. This is insurance fraud, I will file a complaint with Lifestance and my insurance. It's NOT ok to prey on people's vulnerability!"
"Reading these reviews helped me to realize that I’m not the only one who was treated poorly by this doctor. I have never had a doctor put me in tears before and make me feel like I’m doing everything wrong. I have waited over a month to get put on medication for depression and anxiety because I’ve decided to get off of medication when I was pregnant and breast-feeding. I am having a really hard time with my anxiety and need medication ASAP but the doctor I used to see left the office. I booked an appointment with Sophia and I had to video call her from my car because my house cleaners were inside of my house and I had just picked up my children from daycare. My baby was fussy because he doesn’t like to sit in the car. At first, she told me that my signal was horrible and that it wasn’t going to work until I told her I don’t know what to do. That I had no other option. I then stepped outside of my car, just outside my driver side door, and the signal was better, but she told me that I was making her dizzy by moving the camera. I asked her if we could just do a video call with no video and she told me no. Then she asked me why I was letting my baby cry and I told her it’s because he doesn’t want to be in his car seat and she told me that she can’t do the appointment because I shouldn’t be leaving my baby in the car. Making it seem like I was Abusing my child by neglecting him and leaving him in the vehicle. I was literally standing right outside my driver side door with the window down, and the air conditioning was on. I never walked away from my vehicle or left the baby unattended. She refused to do my appointment for that reason and told me that I had to try to reschedule. At that point, I was done after sitting on the phone with her for almost 10 minutes with her complaining about every little thing. I told her that I would be rescheduling, but with a different provider because it’s clearly not going to work out, and I didn’t appreciate her attitude. She simply smiled and said OK and hung up on me. I now can’t get into any doctors because the only other doctor that takes my insurance only does 10 AM appointments and I cannot take time off of work for that."
