Patients express gratitude towards Dr. James Harold Egan for his helpfulness, particularly in addressing addiction issues, and consider him to have certain admirable qualities despite some eccentric behaviors. However, many reviews highlight his nervous eye movements and mannerisms, such as his leg crossing, which are found distracting and contribute to an impression of inauthenticity. Several individuals describe feeling uncomfortable and unable to establish eye contact, leading them to question his genuineness. These perceptible traits and mannerisms overshadow his professional conduct, limiting deeper patient-therapist connections.

Jim Egan is a fine person and a fine doctor. Whoever is posting these absurd, nasty comments on here has a deep spiritual abyss.

Could he still be alive, what at 100 years old or so? I remember him as a prissy phony. Hopefully he's become more genuine with age.

Not very well-endowed where it should count. However, he has other winning qualities.

If his effeminacy can be placed aside, a very good source for dealing with mental health.

He was inordinately helpful in my quest to end my addiction to various sex toys, with the end result that I could live happily with only two essential devices.

He crosses his legs like a woman, rather than a man. H e even wraps the crossed leg behind his other leg. Sometimes he bounces his crossed leg up and down nervously. Weirdest thing I ever saw...and most distracting.

It seems to me that somebody or several people are using this platform to do a whack job on him, for whatever reason. How weird could he be? No more weird than other therapists, I'm sure.

Like others posting here, I found his shifty eye movements, back and forth, back and forth, too distracting. I don't think he ever once looked directly at me. Weird.

Unfortunately, it's difficult to establish eye contact with him because he has the disadvantage of being bug-eyed. It's just too uncomfortable to sustain eye contact with that condition. I keep looking away when I was with him.
