The single worst psychiatrist I have ever been too. He has no faith in his patients and is a poor judge when it comes to diagnosis. He is overall weak in communication skills namely listening and responding. He is disrespectful to his patients and pressures them to sign documents that do not pertain to the patients cause for admittance. I hope you do not have the misfortune of falling under this physicians care.
