Extremely rude and incompetent is being kind. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CHILD TO THIS joke of a doctor. She caused our son extreme trauma by stopping his antipsychotic medication without weaning. Grayson and Dr. Callahan are lucky we did not sue them. She REFUSED to meet with us, his parents. She did not review his chart bc she actually tried to put him on meds that were documented as causing severe side effects in our son. We believe sending our son to this woman and the hospital at which she practices is one of the worst mistakes we’ve ever made. Our son, four years later, still suffers from ptsd because of his time in the hospital with this incompetent woman.

The first time I was scheduled to meet the woman, she was an hour late to my appointment. I have to take off work to be able to go to her so I lost an hour's worth of wages. When I showed up for my appointment, she hadn't even left the hospital yet!!! My second time meeting her she WAS on time, but she screwed up my fill date on a prescription that I need daily in order to function properly. Left 2 messages, finally told she takes 1-2 business days to respond to issues!!

Worst doctor my child has EVER seen. AVOID her at all costs. Took her to an NP in the same practice and got much better care.

She started seeing our child less than six months ago and has refused to help our child with her severe anxiety and deep deep depression. However, she had no trouble placing our child on clonidine, the BP med, w/o cking our child's bp or heart hx, nor did she have an issue with putting our child on Abilify, an antipsychotic, that is terrible on the body, and she didn't do labs to ck her kidneys or liver. Our child has 1/2 hr with her but is only there 15 min. She doesn't listen to her.TERRIBLE
