Dr. Yira Margarita Vanderlinde, MD

any Dr to prescribe AN ANTIPSYCHOTIC to someone who advised prefers homeopathic options FOR ANXIETY is clearly out for big PHARMA and not your wellbeing. she falsified my medical records and has been the most disrespectful, unprofessional and condescending person I've ever met.

I have been seeing Dr. Van der linde for a very long time. I can tell you that without question she has changed my life and may have even saved my life. She has always told me the truth even when it wasn’t pretty. I have seen a lot of psychiatrists and psychologist and I can say I have found a home. She has helped me become a healthier person. I will always be grateful to her.

I happen to be THAT person, that usually arrives a few minutes late...A Few, Not an hour. l always called in advance letting the very nice Secretary know if I was going to be a few minutes late. When I would arrive, Dr V would refuse to see me and still charge me for the appointment, which I did pay. There would be No One in the waiting room waiting and I do mean absolutely No one waiting to see her. If I wasn't able to make a scheduled appointment I would call in advance to cancel the appointment and still I was charged and I still paid for the appointment When I was able to get into her office and see her I wasn't in there fifteen minutes the most, she would basically ask how I was doing in a nut shell, I’d reply in hopes for help (canceling )being she was the Dr!!!.... I would talked... She would write me a script.....and out the door I go!!! After maybe a year of me going to her for my medication.. Because It sure wasn't professional canceling I was getting .... I… received a professional letter from her saying she no longer wanted me as her patient DUE to my late arrivals!!! What kind of Dr refuses to see a paitent because they occasionally arrive late and still pay for their visit after being refused to be seen???? Talk about hurting someone's feelings after sharing personal life!!!

Great Doctor!

Dr VanDerLinde is a very caring person. She is very easy to talk to and has helped me so much. Her staff is very nice and thoughtful. Her assistant Connie has been very nice. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Van der Linde completely disregarded the reason I came to see her: treatment of my severe anxiety and mood disorder. Instead, she insisted that I had a substance abuse problem, demanded that I check into rehab, and refused to prescribe my medications until I had a clean urine test. Since my alcohol consumption ("abuse") was a direct result of my lack of proper medication and treatment, she put me in an impossible situation. On the very first meeting, she took me off of the medications that were at least helping me somewhat (including my anti-anxiety medication), put me on different meds that did not help at all, and then refused to prescribe me anything at all- or even schedule an appointment with me- until I stopped drinking alcohol. However, at that point alcohol was the only relief I had since I was not receiving proper treatment. She treated me like an irresponsible drug addict instead of a struggling person desperately trying to relieve my unbearable symptoms in any way I… could. As a result, I suffered needlessly and was forced to drop out of school when my symptoms became so severe that I could not handle it. Her demeanor was generalyl cold and uncaring, stern and unsympathetic. I am now under the care of a very good doctor, and the difference is almost unbelievable.

Dr. Vander Linde is very easy to talk to. Very warm and caring. From my experience, psychiatrists can be a little weird...she is not. That made her much easier to relate to.

Dr. Van Der Linde is very easy to talk to. She really listened to me and made me feel like she truly wants to help.
