Dr. John J Harrington, MD

Arrived 10-15 minutes late for EVERY APPOINTMENT. Disdainful attitude toward patients, as if expecting all to be lowlife druggies or just plain trash. Took advantage of me by administering a personality inventory I had expressed interest in, but then misrepresenting the results (which were unhelpful and even detrimental to me) just so I would authorize him to go ahead and produce a written report. This was lucrative for him but devastating for me, especially since in his report he misstated my reasons for taking the test and wrote baseless remarks suggesting I was an addict "acting out" with alcohol and drugs. In fact, I have little taste for alcohol, abhor illicit drug use, and have never abused any substance. Moreover, being characterized as a paranoid personality was devastating and unjust. For more than 10 years my household has been the target of an extreme campaign of aggravated stalking, involving hundreds of crimes spanning three towns within Western Massachusetts.… Naturally, my honest answers to inventory questions about fearing harm and feeling wary of others reflected this awful reality. It is the mark of a third-rate mental health professional to ignore the patient's needs and concerns, while rushing to apply pejorative labels without regard to context or accuracy. Avoid this quack if you have any self-respect.
