As an alleged professional in the mental health field, he is an abomination. His lack of patience & compassion is astounding. He bullies, talks over you, never makes eye contact & is totally ego driven as in "I am the dr. I know best. You are nothing." He prejudges you. It is no wonder this man has no private practice. All his patients are captive in a behavioral center and are, sadly, at his mercy. He should lose his license.

Does not take time to listen, treats all his patients like they are guilty or stupid. Indiscriminately prescribes dangerous neuroleptic antipsychotic drugs to people who aren't dangerous. This guy sent 4 people in a row (including myself) to Anchora just for the insurance money to keep paying til it ran out. This man is a criminal and should lose his license.

I was in the hospital and each time my husband tried to speak to him to find out what kind of treatment i am getting how long i would be hospitalized he literally shut the door in his face. I felt like a character from One Flew Over The Cukoo's Nest.
