I was a patient of Dr. Alloju/Fairweather/Frankenstein as a college kid. I'd been struggling with…read moredepression and anxiety since I was 15, and now at 20 the consequences of these conditions were having a disastrous affect on my school performance. I went to this doctor because I needed help. I felt like an outsider looking in, trying but failing to be a Human Normal. I hated myself with fury and fire. And I didn't want to want to die, but I certainly longed for an eternal reprieve from the pain. So I went to a doctor. I was in school in Brooklyn but grew up in Texas, and as I was home for the holidays, I started seeing Dr. Alloju. I didn't know the far-reaching and indelible mark this would leave on my life, changing the course completely. I was a bright kid. I read constantly. A bit of a nerd. A writing major. I wanted to write plays and movies. But here's what happened instead: After talking to me for 45 minutes and barely listening, this woman diagnosed me as having Bipolar II Disorder. I wasn't that upset about it because I thought, well maybe she's right and maybe she can help me. Over the course of the next year, culminating in a near-death experience, I was put on these medications concurrently: Lamictal 400mg, Seroquel 350mg, Klonopin 2mg twice daily, and to cap it all off, Geodon 80mg. This is enough medication to sedate an obese elephant. I was 20 years old, 5'2 and 107 lbs. I had to drop out of college because I almost died from this demented drug cocktail. That was a long time ago and I'm still angry. I'm still angry that it took me 10 more years before I was properly diagnosed as ADHD and on the autism spectrum. I didn't need to be on those drugs. I just didn't. When I told her they weren't working, she'd just increase the dosages. Once, during a phone session, she said I sounded drunk and went a step further to label me as an alcoholic. I didn't really drink at the time; my words were slurred because of the sedating medication. The irony, of course, is that Dr. Alloju has multiple DUIs and was on some sort of probation while treating me. I only have flashbulb memories from an entire year of my life. Apparently I almost died from an overdose of these medications. It took many years to try and get my life back from this monster. This is all to say, this woman will destroy your mind, body, and spirit. And she almost ended my life. What she did to me was criminal. Not just malpractice, although it was also that, but it was a deeply immoral negligence and breach of trust. At least if she *had* killed me she might not be practicing to this day. Stay. Away.

While Dr…read moreDonald was able to set me up with a useful and effective plan, nothing could outweigh the staggering mismanagement. It is nearly impossible to get in contact with the office for questions re scheduling, billing, medication refills, etc. The last straw for me has been being charged over four times what my (5 minute long, check-in-and-refill-meds) appointments typically cost with absolutely no explanation. I have tried for the past month to call, email, and contact via patient portal for explanation with no response. I can't even get a response in order to get my medical records. What a waste of time - I feel so stupid for letting this place take advantage of my time, money, and patience for this long.

Alright. While I believe that everyone's business is their own and that people shouldn't share all…read moretheir dirty laundry, I also think it's important to know who is qualified and who could harm you. I'll preface all of the following with this warning: This is my OPINION, and for something like this it's highly advised you do your homework and not go off of reviews on Yelp, Google or any other thing. Make your own opinions. This isn't a dry cleaner or a restaurant...this is something you need to decide on your own. I can at least tell you my business so you understand what you are walking into at a very high level. The office is very clean and nice and I found the front office staff EXTREMELY kind and welcoming. That's extremely important here as it sets the tone for the appointment. If it is your very first visit you'll more than likely be asked to do a drug screen, which I appreciated because it does tell you they take precautions and are pretty responsible not to give anything to someone who is there with ulterior motives. My nurse was actually someone new to the practice who was doing her clinical training so we swapped stories and she took me back to see Ms. Donald who is the NP here. A little thing about NPs....I've seen some folks rag on NPs, and I don't understand why. While they may not be MDs, they are trained to do most everything except surgical stuff. My primary care doc is an NP in a practice with an MD, just like here. She prescribes things and diagnoses stuff just like her MD counterpart and I've never went "You can't do that because you aren't an MD" because she's more than qualified. It's a bit of a peeve to see people who should have done their homework act rude because Donald is a NP and gripe that she's not an MD. Guess what...NPs are medical professionals too. Do your homework though and know everything ahead of time. I already knew she was licensed and I did my leg work ahead of time. When I walked into her office she greeted me warmly and we talked about my issues. Without going all up in it, I have issues with anxiety and sleep and I tend to try and "do it on my own" instead of seeking help, which is never cool. You shouldn't be ashamed by the way to seek help. She was professional and kind and, more importantly, she helped. Nothing was pushed on me. Nothing was shady. I left knowing that i had been heard. When I was checking out the front desk ladies told me about Frisco Pharmacy which is right down the road. I had mentioned that the Walgreens I go to always seems to be out of everything and they let me know that Frisco Pharmacy usually has everything they prescribe and that they can have it ready in 10 minutes, as that is a selling point the pharmacy has printed on all it's promo material. I appreciate that they call and ask if it's in stock so that I know in the office if my meds are ready. Overall, I'm happy that I chose this practice. Are there places that will prescribe anything? Absolutely. I've got firsthand knowledge of those and let me tell you and they've been in affluent areas with an MD so don't think I don't know what to look for. I'm leaving this review so that you can see that a real person went here though. My experience might not be like yours but at least you see what you are getting into. Don't be scared to ask for help. I promise it's better than suffering through whatever you are going through.

Crisis management was something I didn't have much experience in when we first started working together, and she showed me how to be calm and collected even in an emergency. She is also one of the most ethical people I have ever worked with. Working with and under her helped make me a better clinician, and I am completely confident she helps clients reach similar results as their counselor.
