Dr. Asif A Uddin, MD

If I could give zero stars I would, but unfortunately 1 star is the bottom limit that these rating platforms will allow me to post. Dr. Uddin was my psychiatric provider, briefly, during his residency. He wrote a quote in my chart that was something I NEVER said, and then made a faulty diagnosis based on those words that I never said - for a condition that psychiatrists don't even treat, therapists do. When I saw this, I was concerned and followed up with my therapist about this diagnosis, which enraged Dr. Uddin and he stormed out of the office during our 3rd meeting and I had to have several talks with his attending physician who picked up the pieces from his awful treatment of me and refusal to consider that he had made a mistake in - again, I repeat for emphasis - putting something in my chart that I never said, after meeting me once for 15 minutes, and his notes were timestamped 2 hours after I had seen him so he clearly entered it from memory and made it up as he typed it, and… then used that made up quote to justify a diagnosis for a condition that is treated in therapy, a condition my therapist (who i met with for 50 minutes every week for 2 years, and who has been a practicing psychologist for nearly 20 years vs Dr. Uddin being in his residency at the time, that is LITERALLY IN TRAINING and asserting that his expertise was greater than hers on a condition that is actually more within her scope of practice) says that not only do I not have, but that is a gross misdiagnosis. When confronted he threw a tantrum and stormed out of the office, but only after waffling through contradictory excuses such as "it was a typo" yet refusing to amend the chart for his admitted typo. Dealing with Dr. Uddin's ego disrupted the care I was seeking as my appointments became about managing his ego rather than seeing me as a patient. How can a psychiatrist treat a patient if he will not listen to and hear them, and if he puts his assumptions about a person on a pedestal? Not only did he do that, but when he took over my care (due to being seen by KU Med my care team changed every year as residents rotated through clinicals) he arbitrarily changed me off of a drug I had been on for 2 years because he just preferred the other drug, and the drug he switched me to was a different class than the drug it was replacing - and that drug class caused horrible side effects for me that landed me in the hospital for a full week. Avoid this practitioner at all costs. It has taken 2 years to get back on track with my care after the work that needed done correcting his negligence. This man has no business being trusted for your mental health care.
