Dr. Laroche treated my wife for anxiety and depression. He was kind and considerate and actually listened to her while asking pertinent open questions. Our follow up visit came with a plan of action and accountability.

1st app he spoke to me for 10 mins then gave me some odd diagnoses and prescribed a lot of pills that made me feel really sick depressed and strange.Just went there to talk about depression caused by divorce but he had no time for me except to write high doses of 3 different pills. He's condescending & behaves as if he's god and you're a lowlife. Maybe he treats people differently if they have better insurance. Who knows

Beware.This dr(and the nurses under him)punish unpatients with Thorazine. A 10 y/o girl also passed away because of taking the high doses of antidepressants,as prescribed by this man. Medical socipath is the term which comes to mind.His nurses behave as his miniins. If you're forced to use this 'doctor'PLEASE, take a parent/spouse/friend with you. Do not allow yourself to be alone with this man. Despite, his medical title, he is dangerous.

Dr Laroche treated our son while he was inpatient at a hospital. He was most professional and easy to communicate with. Never felt rushed during a consult with him and completely trusted the care he provided. Wish he could be our son's psychiatrist, unfortunately we live outside his treatment area. The world needs more doctors like Dr. Laroche.

Unprofessional approach, utilizes a personal opinion vs a therapeutic approach, and presents with an air of superiority. Tends to make hasty medication changes, without taking a patients history into consideration. Lengthy waiting time, resulting in a brief consult with the program nurse.

Shocking this dr keeps his license to practice. He over medicates patients. A 10-year-old girl DIED because he overdosed her on anti depressant medications. He's rude, condecending, misdiagnoses patients regularly and is downright dangerous. DON'T GO to this dr is my sincere recommendation.
