I like manipulating clients to achieve satisfactory mind control according to deviant and sadistic outcomes. I also like indoctrinating clients to hate their family and be fully co-dependent on me and my abusive practice. I also like to reprogram individuals to be fully out of touch with reality, while providing psychotropic medications to advance alienation. At the same time, it is standard for me to apply a moderate to severe amount of late Twentieth Century MK techniques to ruin lives. I also get kickbacks from the psychopharmacological and biosociomedical industrial complexes to reinforce my distortions toward “successful” health outcomes. — Dr. Bruce Phariss

Dr Phariss is by far the best Dr. I’ve ever had, and have had many before finding him. He genuinely cares about his patients and spends all lot of time during visits checking in on how everything is going in your life. He even has reached out to me multiple times when he knew I was going through a hard time. I finally found a Dr I trust and someone who knows what they’re doing with my medication.

Doesn't like his wife. Doubtful a patient in the lobby should be able to hear that. No vote of confidence. Perhaps, after he seeks therapy and a divorce attorney you might think of getting his full attention. Dysfunction Junction.

The only wait time in this office is if you arrive early and he is in with a patient. Caring, professional, up-to-date on latest treatments and medications. Takes a personal interest in your case and follows up as needed. Tremendous help for me! Could not recommend more highly!

He came recommended by another doctor and I have been seeing him for a few years. He has been extremely helpful.
