Dr. Bertholet Desir, MD

As a fellow mental health professional, I contacted Dr. Desir about a patient of his who presented to me as imminently suicidal. I am the Social Worker at this patient’s primary care doctor’s office – I have had no previous history with this patient and contacted his psychiatrist, Dr. Desir, for support and guidance. The secretary was very professional and seemed to understand the urgency of the situation. She told me that Dr. Desir would reach out to me and/or the patient ASAP, as it was an emergency. Dr. Desir however NEVER followed up. I also found out that the family contacted him 2 weeks prior informing him that the patient was increasingly depressed and suicidal and he did nothing. I am completely appalled. Steer clear of this doctor.
