Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Traumatized
I have severe OCD. He put me on medication once he met me, didn't even take time to get to know me. I had a mental block about swallowing pills so he told me to ingest the powder, which I now know is the wrong thing to do. I was going through a tough time while he mismanaged my medication and instead of trying to help me, he sent me to the hospital. He told me I was just going to spend the night there, but he sent me to a locked psychiatric unit for a week and they loaded me full of more horrible meds. That event was traumatizing, and since then, I have been so mentally and physically damaged from being forced to take those meds. He never even had the decency to say sorry once, which would have gone a long way. His actions have deeply hurt me. I suffer every day and I will continue to suffer because of him. He never cared about me and just moved on after ruining my life.

I haven’t seen Dr. B since I roomed with him for a couple of weeks when I was a freshman at U of Chicago. I remember a great deal about him, and hope he has had a good career. Lee Tabin, Miami Beach. 312 576 4087. His father was obstetrician that delivered my daughter.

I recommend him all of the time. He's a very experienced psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. In fact, he trains psychoanalyst. He's an adult and child psychoanalyst and is a highly sought after clinical supervisor. In addition to being very bright, he's very compassionate and caring.
