Dr. Christopher Michael Erstling, MD

Maybe when a patient says they're being abused and gaslighted you should listen. Three years off psych meds, away from nightmares, I don't even take ibuprofen and this guy had me on a coctail of PRozac, 80mg, antipsychotics, etc, 8 pills at a time, for illnesses I never had, in and out of the hospital for this and that when it was PTSD all along from daily abuse I reported over and over. I was abused my entire life, by my adopted family, and was thwarted at getting help for over another decade because this man has no clue what he's doing.

Took a relative to him that had dementia. He was very punctual with appointments but over all I felt that we were being rushed out of appointments. They were only 15 minute appointments which he said was only what the hospital (Newport Hospital) would allow. How can you evaluate a patient in 15 minutes!! Not always the best bedside manner.

Horrible 'physician'. No help with depression after 2+month of visits. Only had me fill out a form every visit how I felt the week before...same form, no response or acknowledgement what was on the form. Rip off. Sometimes would not acknowledge me sitting in waiting room...my last visit I sat over 3/4 an hour then left, -that was my last visit.
