I was a patient of Dr Richard Pines and he was the best doctor I've ever had. I have heard about the accusations against him and have been keeping track of the case against him. The accusations were never proven therefore no claim against him should be used against him.

Found with naked pictures of children, found guilty of sleeping with previous patients. Pretty sure he did not spend a day in jail and is still allowed to practice as a psychiatrist. Even see children! Pretty pathetic excuse

Pines is a doctor that oversees the tx of far too many patients. He has PNP's and others who write under his 'supervision' as well as his own patients. He also oversees an adolescent mental health facility. He doesn't have or take the time to adequately diagnose or treat his patients. He also writs scripts for my sister-in-law, who is not a 'patient', they just get scribbled off when she brings the kids in. What a racket. I don't know why he hasn't been investigated. Actually, I do. He is just about the only game in town.
