Reviews of Christopher S. Bermant, MD
"We tried quite a few different medications with no avail. We got to a point where he told me "You need a neuro psych test before we can continue" to which I tried my best to set up but was informed that he never sent through a referral to the location. I was unable to receive any amount of meaningful help from this person. Our last session consisted of me crying and him talking over me and directed to conversation towards my husband instead."
"BEWARE: He is either severely lacks knowledge on abilify or he is getting kickbacks from the drug company. Abilify is an AWFUL medication with several lawsuits, including class actions against it for severe life altering side effects such as compulsive gambling and binge eating disorder in people who had never previously had this issues in any way, yet he continues to frequently prescribe it. I am aware of a countless number of patients prescribed this medication and so many of them requiring higher levels of mental health care and suffering from awful side effects that have caused irreparable damage. Dr. Bermant prescribed me Abilify and told me absolutely NONE of these severe side effects, in fact, he told me there were virtually no side effects. Trusting him as a psychiatrist I took Abilify as prescribed and what followed was an absolute nightmare that ruined my life. Shortly after starting to take Abilify (at the lowest dose) I experienced intolerable restlessness. I could not sit still and if I tried it was almost painful. I suffered from horrendous insomnia which due to the severe lack of sleep caused irreversible damage to my interpersonal relationships. My next appointment I shared these concerns and went off the medication. After going off the medication I was hit with the WORST depression of my life; I was catatonic nearly all of the time, couldn't get out of bed, barely cared about anything and was still unable to sleep. I went back for my next appointment and reported these symptoms and his response was telling me that, that was not a side effect of the drug and proceeded to suggest I try a medication in the same drug class, which I tried and experienced similar restlessness. I eventually had to to go back on the Abilify (which he thought was a good idea) because I didn't have a choice due to balancing a full time job, a 20hr a week internship, and classes for my masters degree and could not afford to have the completely debilitating depression that resulted from Abilify. At least being restless I could get things done. While quite productive, I felt nothing and found no enjoyment in anything. I felt similarly to the depression from when I went off it but at least could get things done due to not being able to sit still. I didn't enjoy anything, was unable to relax, and unable to sleep. I finally completed my masters and stopped the medication but it was again followed by a completely debilitating depression but I was determined to stick it out and hope and pray that it eventually got better. I had no interest in seeing him after that, I had absolutely no trust in him as a medical professional. I found a new psychiatrist who was able to prescribe the correct medication and diagnosis after one appointment because unlike Dr. Bermant asked and listened to my history of symptoms and reactions I've had to different medications but discovered that due to Abilify, which my new psychiatrist with 30+ years of experience said she would never prescribe because she was aware of the side effects unlike Dr. Bermant (which maybe he knew about them but liked the money from the drug company to care), I had developed Binge Eating Disorder. (Oh I forgot to mention that he continued to suggest Anti-Depressant medications after me explicitly telling him the terrible reactions I've had to them in the past. A good doctor listens to their patients and he didn't which was completely unprofessional). There is so much more to this story but I hit the main points. I would NEVER recommend him to anyone and actually think he should be fired and lose his license."
"Outstanding doctor. Our family is extremely thankful for Dr. Bermant. He is a skillful and compassionate listener and gives every opportunity for asking questions. His manner reflects genuine care for you as an individual and for your best outcome."
"Unfortunately, I don't know why Dr. Bermant receieved bad reviews. He has a very modern approach to psychiatry that I appreciated, which is less focused on diagnosis and more focused on individual treatment. He is extremely nice and umderstanding. I have never felt judged and have received honest opinions about treatments I've personally suggested or he has suggested."
