Dr. Marie R Badaracco-Apolito, MD

Like others I found Dr Badaraccos time management can be challenging. However the time we have has helped tremendously. She is not nor normalshrink

You are a dr for people with mental issues and you treat us like we’re not worth your time. Every time I’ve had an appointment I’ve waited at the least 2 and a half hours and at the most I’ve waited close to 5. Multiple people walk out the waiting room at every visit. Never an explanation of why you are late or even a phone call. We leave work early and cancel plans to make our appointments on time and you cost us money, and then you have the nerve to take co pays still. Do not waste your time unless you have 6 hours of your day to waste.

Spends ample time with you and does what is best for you

I don't understand why people are giving her a bad reputation. She was incredibly caring towards my mother and she is on point each and every time. I think the reason she makes you wait longer is because she takes her time with her patients. She also reads everything carefully. Most people see her for medication, but if you sat down with her and chatted with her, you'd see that she is caring and she knows what she is talking about. She helped my mom through a difficult time in her life.

Read the other reviews, she is rude, obnoxious, no bedside manor at all, curious why she still practices... My wife WAS a patient of hers, and I had enough of the way my wife was treated by her. Her name says it all Dr. BADaracco.

First, please let me say that Dr. Badaracco-Apolito makes a patient wait at least two hours in her uncomfortable waiting room which is either way too hot or way too cold. In today's day and age, this is unacceptable, but I put up with it for nearly six months since I did not see her every month and I am retired plus I had faith in her. Boy, was I fooled. She changed my psychiatric medication because she said I needed to lose weight and what I was taking was increasing my appetite. Okay, I went along with her changes because they were gradual. However, I became so physically sick from the lack of the one pill that my body was used to that I was dizzy, filled with insomnia, manic, and suffered diabetic symptoms that I never had before and that went away once the original medicines she took away were restored in my body. Granted, I am not losing any weight, but I feel like myself again.

Extremely caring and no nonsense doctor. She provides all the time you need without rushing you out the door. That's why sometimes patients wait a bit longer. Love her.

I sat there for two hours and left on my first appointmant. This woman should hang it up for good. Does not care for other peoples time and overbooks herself. Though she was nice when I saw her, I just don't think she should be in practice.

I cannot even begin to describe the unprofessional nature and behavior of Dr. Badaracco. I am writing this review at 6:00 PM as I am still in the waiting room for a 3:00pm appointment. This happens regularly, not once in a while. I am switching Doctors tomorrow.

Terrible. Judgmental. Long wait. Rude. Bad about insurance. The only good things about sessions with her was her dog (who may or may not still be there). Really bitter woman. Close friend had the same experience and when getting referrals from college for off campus psychiatry she was on the list of those who took school health insurance but NOT recommended by the social worker as many other students complained about her also. Would not recommend.
