This provider was nice on the phone but admin is where he falls short. He was late for my appointment, I received no confirmation, I called multiple numbers, no response. Then received a call from what seemed to be his personal phone 10 mins after my appointment as if nothing happened. The appointment was fine but there were moments where I questioned his expertise. After the call I left hopeful that I would finally be able to get medication. Not only is getting ADHD meds already a frustrating process, and dealing with him and his weird prescription limitations made it worse. He is minimally responsive, curt to the point of being rude, and extremely unhelpful. I would HIGHLY avoid seeing this provider, especially if you're new to therapy. At best, this provider is just all over the place. At worst, he's predatory and taking advantage of people and delivering incomplete care.
