I didn't know I had anxiety.  He treated me for depression.  I went back month after month telling him the symptoms were getting worse--he was giving an "up" person more uppers.  The problem is he doesn't care about his patients at all.  He will speak to you for less than 10 minutes make you feel like an idiot and demean you--he literally, rudely told me I looked like I'd gained weight and "get on the scale."  I am 5'5 and weigh 114 pounds.   Please.  Then I when I was 4 days running out of Rx and turned out I didn't have a refill, I called his office repeatedly to request an appointment/temp refill.  He knew full well the withdrawals the medication caused yet I couldn't get so much as a call back from either of his [extremely rude] front office assistants.  I had to track him down at the mental health facility where he also practices.  I left a message for him there with the head nurse.  I told her how I'd tried to no avail to reach him so she helped get the message to him.  She called me back to tell me I need to go through his office.  She told him I had tried and he didn't care.  I had to call the hospital administrator there and threaten to report him to the medical board in order to get a call back from his staff.  What a nightmare/piece of work.  He is not only and awful doctor but a terrible person as  well.
