She was absolutely rude, arrogant, and judgmental. Did not listen to me at all - took me off of meds that helped me and kept me on all of the meds that weren’t helping. Put me in a box because of my diagnoses instead of assessing my individual needs. She is awful and should not practice medicine, especially psychiatry

She is rude comes off as arrogant and doesn't listen well. She not only prescribed against what is recommended for first line of treatment in Clinical Pharmacology but it was the most expensive medicine available. I called her the next day and she said all medicine for this condition is expensive and clinically its what she recommened. I did all the leg work, called my insurance and found a comparable med for $20 for a 30 day supply. She not only wouldnt listen to my concerns, she cut me off and interupted me. Unprofessional and her office is a dump.

Dr. Wood is by far, the worst physician I have ever experienced. She should not even be allowed to practice medicine.
