Should have his licensing taken immediately and sent to prison. Forces patients to take medication against their will without ever even meeting them

I am a psychiatric nurse who worked with Dr. Draoua for over 10 years. One of the most intelligent physicians I have met. Knowledge is unbelievable. Fantastic psychopharmacist. Not a pill pusher. Treats the symptoms, doesn't want to label his patients. Difficult to hear at first, but his interest is in getting his patients well. I hate to read these negative reviews. If I needed help I would see him and without a doubt send friends and family. I learned so much. You have the best chance of recovering when he is the treating physician.

I should have filed for malpractice for how he treated me, and tortured me for days after I called him out for his bs. If you catch him in his act he will make it his point to break you, be warned. This man does not care about his patients nor does he care for their best interest. Major pill pusher and if its not his way its the high way. Massive egomaniac and just down right cruel. This man should not be allowed to practice medicine.

The most arrogant, egomaniac I have ever met. Insensitive and disrespectful to patients. Shouldn't be allowed to treat cockroaches, never mind human beings. Never bring yourself or loved ones to this monster.

Most kind, understanding, empathic, and compassionate doctor I've ever known. Amazingly brilliant. He saved my life more the once. I'm forever grateful. If you need help then he is the doctor to treat you.

He really does not know what he is doing. I have spoken with other psychiatrists who do not like him either. He is a pill-pusher, does not spend enough time hearing patients out and listening to what they have to say. He is the worst psychiatrist I have ever dealt with.

This man is insensitive, quick to form demeaning opinions, and unhelpful. He Didn't check up on me, is rude to patients and staff, and is overall cruel. Treats adults patients like disobedient children. If I had the chance to go back, id pick the other doctor. He's quick to Adirondacks patients too.
