Dr. Dario Martin Shuster, MD

My experience with Dr. Shuster and HealthCare Choices has left me feeling deeply hurt, disappointed, and angry. During one of the most vulnerable periods of my life, I needed empathy, consistency, and a doctor who genuinely cared about my well-being. Instead, I experienced repeated unavailability, difficulty securing appointments, problems accessing my medication, and what felt like a complete lack of urgency despite my history of multiple psychiatric hospitalizations. Every time I raised a concern, I was met with another excuse. Dr. Shuster blamed the facility, while the facility failed to provide meaningful answers or solutions. No one appeared willing to accept responsibility for the horrible and inconsistent care I received. I was repeatedly left feeling as though my health, safety, and life did not matter. What hurts the most is that I reached out for help and trusted these professionals during an extremely painful and dangerous time in my life. I should not have had to beg for… appointments, medication, communication, or basic compassion while struggling to stay alive. Instead of feeling supported, I felt dismissed, abandoned, and blamed for expecting the care I was supposed to receive. Mental-health patients deserve more than excuses and finger-pointing. We deserve doctors who are accessible, facilities that communicate, and professionals who take responsibility when their patients are not receiving adequate care. My experience with Dr. Shuster and HealthCare Choices was emotionally devastating, and I would not want another vulnerable patient to feel as alone and uncared for as I did.

Do NOT go to this dr. He’s judgmental, unprofessional and he made accusations against me. He denied me treatment and I was hospitalized for suicidal attempt all because this doctor failed to treat me. Dario Shuster need to be fired. Do not see this dr unless you want to feel worst after your scheduled visit.

It is deeply troubling to know that people like Dr. Schuster are practicing psychiatry. When I had to repeatedly ask him to refill a prescription that he had prescribed for me, he called me up and yelled at me and explained why he couldn't take five minutes to call in the prescription. The phone call lasted almost a half-hour.

Dr. Shuster should not be practicing psychiatry – he is disorganized, gives rambling and confusing advice, often forgets what was talked about in the last appointment, and requires repeated reminders for any prescription refills. He should not be practicing psychiatry, and I suggest you avoid him at all costs.
