I've only met with Dr. Skip three times, but I have to say I've never been to a doctor that has spent an hour on my first visit and 45 minutes on my second visit. What doctor does that??? I'm a nurse, so I have first hand experience with the medical profession and this is unheard of. When I met with Dr. Anderson, the psychiatrist who works with him, I also have had two visits that both lasted an hour. They work together which is a unique situation that gives me a great deal of trust in both of them. He might be a bit quirky and even tough, but he's dealing with people who are alcohol and drug addicts and he's been there himself. He knows what kind of manipulation is sometimes used by such folks. This is the first doctor that I feel understands my situation and has a plan for me. Other "shrinks" have treated me with distain and often played games with my head. This doc doesn't play games. He tells like it is. I'll return to update this post when I've been with him longer.

This Dr. has the worse bedside manners I've ever seen. He has no business treating people the way he does. To say he is rude would be an understatement.

Dr, Skip is good for what he does I guess. He is very angry at times and extrememy short, quikly writing a script and out the door you go until the next month, overall the staff is not pleasent almost as if there put off with people being there.In short he helps people but makes it as easy as possible and doesnt have much time to get to know people or friendly chat.Your not going to get a warm and fuzzy bedside manner here thats for sure oh and do not upset him!
