I was a teenage patient of his. He was unethical and abhorrent. He refuted science when it didn’t agree with him and he harmed many adolescents. Please avoid him at all cost or you will end up living in regret like I have!

Saw this guy over 20 years ago now and he still haunts me to this day. Very cold, very arrogant, and very methodical acting. Would not be suprised if this guy ends up being caught up in some sort of child explotation ring or even worse!! 20 years later and I moved on and have made a decent life for myself however this person still spooks me out to this day!! Please stay away from this doctor.

Dr. Decker is a great doctor - has been seeing my child for several years. He administers medication conservatively and with careful consideration. I would recommend him for anyone who needs child or adolescent psychiatric services.

briefly, he misdiagnosed our son. Did not listen to suggestions we had. prescribed meds and humiliated us into feeling that we were lacking and needed to get more "tough". "Don't want to see us until..."In the end our son had auspergers and should have been handled very differently. He is off all meds and doing well. Decker charged us for an appointment that our son would not go to (it was more than an appointment that he was present for). We asked for consideration (that the price be lowered to at least the price of a normal visit and we were told no. Again very rigid and uncaring. I would not recommend this doctor for anyone, but especially not children!
