Dr. Fred is absolutely amazing. I have seen a few psychiatrist's in my day,and after 5 minutes they want to tell you about yourself,what you need and what you need to do,when more than likely they are the reason you are there. He was straight to the point,we agred to everything. It'sfinally a relief to have SOMEONE ON YOUR SIDE!
