I feel so LUCKY to have found Dr. Binder! After a lifetime of old-fashioned treatments, SSRI/SNRIs…read morethat would cause more harm than good, no progress, but any doctor ever seen jumping straight to another, I felt done. Dr. Binder's knowledge is so insightful! He was able to explain WHY many had struggles with these go-to antidepressants! Hereditary Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorder, and adding PTSD, he is up to date on ALL options available and knowledgeable how they work on the brain (neurology and psychiatry, perfect pair!).. He is quick to reach when needed, and after many doctors kept "giving up" on me and labeling me as "treatment resistent", Binder continues to work WITH me as we carefully follow the trail of what types of medications seem to help, which makes things worse, which does nothing, etc! I feel heard and affirmed, and this doctor is NOT "one size fits all"! He really looks at the INDIVIDUAL's needs! With him, you don't go through secretaries or others, but rather speak RIGHT with him every single time! My former doctor was retiring, and I was in a desperate state trying to find a doctor to continue treatment I was already on, and unfortunately during a holiday weekend. I left many messages to so many doctors, and finally tired Binder.. and he called me on a Holiday within 10 minutes! I am SO GRATEFUL! The doctor/patient relationship is incredibly important to make progress, and I see a few others who did not like one thing or another, and this is normal! FOR ME, I appreciate him knowing my comfort zones and working WITH me, hearing MY thoughts and how I'm doing.. I am blown away in amazement at all he's taught me! THANK YOU, DR. BINDER, FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!

I did…read morenot need to be assessed while at McLaren but they asked and said it was optional and I figured it would not hurt. I was wrong. This crook kept me for an additional day at the hospital because he said a Dr. had reported they heard me making statements indicating I was homicidal. I was not even suicidal much less homicidal. He was trying to railroad a mental health nurse to inpatient care because I guess maybe he was behind on his car payments. He asked me three times during the first interview what I did for a living. You think he would remember if someone told him they were a mental health RN but not this genius. I was in for pain and CMH did a mental health screen and cleared me. Then the NP later told me since Mark assessed me he could override the CMH recommendation. Of course they did not tell me this prior to seeing this liar. I will never step foot back in a McLaren as a patient. I will be going to Munson in Gaylord or Traverse city. I find it hard to believe this guy has so many good reviews, I question the veracity of these reviews. They cannot possibly be real. He provided substandard clinical performance with clearly questionable medical judgement and honesty to be frank. He was dismissive of my statements and he talked at me more than to me trying to build his BS case for homicidal ideation. He lacked professional conduct as his approach to medicine was highly questionable and unprofessional, he actually called me a liar when I denied homicidal ideation and told him he was a quack. He yelled it as the nurse was pulling the monitor away from my bed. His dismissive attitude and unprofessional conduct compromised the patient-physician relationship. It was all BAD, it is as simple as that. I honestly cannot say one good thing about him. I only saw him twice but he made and cancelled multiple appointments throughout the day and I saw him LATE. UNACCEPTABLE! Even my nurse said he was horrible. The NP that was caring for me overrode this MOMO's recommendation and I was discharged to home at the end of the second day on the trauma floor. I have patients on the behavioural health unit I work on tell me that ER nurses and doctors as well as psychiatrists and CMH screeners lie about what they say all the time, I was skeptical regarding this possibility but now I know this definitely happens. What is way more common though is the patients telling me that ER staff tell them they can either get out after 72 hours or they can leave whenever they want. Then once they get on the unit they find out the truth. This is exactly what happened to me. I was told I would leave the next day after a MRI was performed but this was not the case. This experience has made me change my specialty in nursing as I refuse to work for a behavioural health unit, I do not want to be any part of the broken mental health system in this country. You have been warned.

In addition, I couldn't just flip a switch & immediately get over him, so I sent him emails telling him how hurt I was & how I couldn't understand how he could do this to me. HE CALLED THE COPS ON ME! He printed out my emails and GAVE THEM ALL TO THE COPS! Being attacked and dragged down a flight of stairs by my hair wasn't as bad as this -- because, Garfield was supposed to KNOW BETTER, BE BETTER! Garfield, you are the most despicable, disgusting man I've ever known! I almost died because of him - his irresponsible, heartless actions. *GARFIELD: THIS is my bad review of you, and I own it!

She was complaining to me about another patient, asking me questions irrelevant to our discussion; I found this unprofessional. She then wanted to start me on high doses of medications which had side effects, when she could have started at lower doses, as common sense would dictate.

Needless to say, as a healthcare professional, I did not find her competent. I would not recommend wasting time, energy on this MD. Get a list from your insurance company of many!

I saw this Dr. at his Chicago office for well over a year... though I don't know why I stayed…read more with him for so long. Oh yeah, I was too lazy to try and find someone else on the right health insurance. My first complaint would be that when he writes prescriptions, he never writes for refills, thus ensuring that you will be back for future appointments to get refill prescriptions. My 2nd point would be, though I realize that psychiatrists today do very little counseling and are mostly for medication, with Dr. Greendale, he is ONLY for medication... do not expect any counseling. Also, he is only in the Chicago office one day a week, so it is always challenging to get in.

The doctor took notes for 39 minutes and then told me that I have the traits and for $5,000 MORE, she would give me a diagnosis. Just a few more quick visits, and other clinics would take months. And there was NO therapy involved; I told her already have a therapist. Yet she included therapy codes on my bill. Now my insurance (BC/BS) is billing me incorrectly.
