Lousy with a capital "L". Shouldn't be practicing psychiatry. Every visit he would say "Hang in there" and do nothing when he could see I was suffering from severe anxiety and depression. I landed in the hospital 4 times while I was seeing him and had ECT.

Lousy. I saw him for a year and in that year I landed in the hospital 4 times (and had ECT). He could see that I had problems but he wouldn't do anything and only say, "Hang in there". I called him and told him I was having panic attacks and my mornings were bad and he said, "I can't help you".

I have Kaiser insurance now and have been so lucky in meeting Dr Budjak... he is extremely caring and wants to actually hear whats going on with me, we clicked right off the bat, I felt like I had been talking to him my whole life. He is for the patient and tells you what is in your best interest. I really admire his open mind, and that he does not judge. Thank you Dr Budjak for just being you! And Thank you to your nurses too!
