Dr. Usha B Swamy, MD

If I could give this lady a negative 10 stars I would. I’ve never done drugs in my life until I got to Lakeside. The whole establishment and all of the people working there are on some weird Get Out Type Stuff.Techs talk to patients and treat them like they are nothing, all kind of experiments are being ran. Swamy is only there to prescribe and gives the worse medicine possible to mess up your mental state. The whole operation needs to be shut down and investigated. I wouldn’t recommend This Doctor or Lakeside to my worst enemy. You will burn for all the wrong you did to me as well as my family members who were also under your care.

I went to Lakeside and was given Dr. Swamy on day one. Immediately she was demeaning and disrespectful not even looking at me through our 7 visits. Wondering if it was just me who experienced the same treatment, I went around asking EVERY SINGLE one of her other patients how they felt. The room erupted with complaints and talk of her over medicating. Furthermore, there was a returning patient who actually disclosed how she sued Dr. Swamy in the past but of course what's one lady against a whole corporation. (Sueing associated with Lakeside) Now, she was also known for being very cruel telling people they'd be released 2-3 days before they're actual release date. Again, this is all of her patients feelings this way. Keep in mind half of us don't speak up our entire stay fearing she might add more time. OH forgot to mention, at Lakeside, the physiatrist is a completely separate bill!! That's right!! SWAMY KEEPS PEOPLE FOR EXTRA MONEY

I was seen as her patient this year for a total of 10 days and she never answered my questions or hear what I had to say...she should not be a doctor treating the mentally ill....seriously

This Dr. is one of the Psychiatrists at Lakeside hospital. She spent approx. 5 min a day with me, never really knew why I was there, never offered any type of counseling, ASSURED me I would be there the full 7 days on day one meeting (I had private insurance that would pay) and charged my insurance/me $200 for initial and D/C visit and $150 for any other "counseling sessions" that didn't happen. I am NOW receiving outpatient treatment of MY choice, and trying to get over the extreme trauma of being a patient of Lakeside Hospital.

The absolute worse physician I have ever been to. She does not care about her patients and is only interested in collecting their money. She talked in a demeaning tone and was very rude. she has no personality or any interest in her patients well being. She's not fit to treat dogs much less humans. Do not go to this physician.

Was a patient at Lakeside Mental Health Institution she never actually sat down to speak to me only asked me the same 2 questions a day , I told her that I've tried these meds and they don't work and did not once ever change my script or gave me something else to try she would immediately get snobby when I asked her to change my meds or even up the dose. Please don't even bother with this doctor.

One of the most appalling healthcare providers I've ever met. With her demeanor, she has no business being a healer, esp. of the mentally ill.
