Visited For Anxiety And Depression
Worst treatment. Always in a rush to write prescription without even letting a patient even complete.My condition worsened *** ***** ******** **** ******* ***** ** *** *****Had even to quit my MBA.His session never lasts for more than 5 minutes.He displayed no empathy or even any words of caution listening of my contemplated suicide (yes while on his meds for a long time) and prescribed the same meds again.Once when I asked some details about OCD, the man right away walked out of the room ending,his already concise session,abruptly.What I have felt during this one year of his treatment,he has no concern for a patient.
