Be careful with this one- I experienced very disturbing behavior from him that leads me to think he has a god complex going on. I was very excited because I really thought he would be a good fit. I had one session with him. He began my session saying it is strange that I was prescribed a SSRI (lexapro) because SSRIs are only for treating depression, not anxiety. I was surprised by this because my understanding was that SSRIs are commonly prescribed for anxiety, but just acknowledged what he said, figuring I'd look into it after. He spent most of the session on this point, even administering a depression assessment for me. The assessment indicated that I was not depressed, which I said I wasn't surprised by- my issue has always been anxiety not depression. Again, he suggested I should talk to a psychiatrist about my meds, which I was fine with. I was pleasant the whole session. After the session, I googled Lexapro, and my understanding was confirmed that lexapro is prescribed both for anxiety and depression. So I sent the attached email to Dr. Sapire. I got a very strange call from Dr. Sapire in response. He called me and said he is not interested in continuing with me. He said that he doesn't appreciate being questioned and accused. Said he knows about his field. And said that he "told me at least 3 times that lexapro is prescribed for anxiety" which is a flat out lie. There was no way for me to have misunderstood what he said in the session- he said SSRIs are not prescribed for anxiety, only depression. He took my email as an attack which is bizarre. I dodged a bullet with this one. Want to warn others. read more

Unfortunately during a time when I needed his understanding and a quarter-ounce of benefit-of-the-doubt Dr. Sapire was dismissive of my thinking and my logic basing his response solely upon "his percentile ranking in university physics class." Shortly thereafter, as supportive as he had tried to be up to this point, he was completely not understanding when I had no choice but to cancel an early Monday morning appointment at the last minute because I simply had no money for fuel for the rest of the month. Although I explained that I did not think to call his office over the weekend, that was not a good enough reason and rather than argue the circumstances with Dr. Sapire I terminated our relationship over the phone that morning. In closing, I'd like to reiterate that for the most part Dr. Sapire was helpful and a pleasure to talk to. My circumstances at the time I terminated our relationship left me with little room passivity and so I took the step I felt necessary for my well-being. I wish Dr. Sapire could've been more in tune with the level of both my irritations and the effort I was putting forth to maintain my composure during our sessions. Perhaps my attempts at being polite and composed hid how desperately angry I was at the time. read more

My 1st visit and I am excited to possibly have a doctor assist with my anxiety and stress issues. The 1st half an hour was spent on paperwork and his dos and don't which I was glad to hear until he said this: I expect a 48-hour cancellation if you can not make the appointment. I replied of course no problem. Then he went into what is called an emergency: & I quote" in case of an emergency like a flat tire or a heart attack, I expect you the patient to be responsible to the normal rate. I was a bit shocked and I said "a heart attack, where I am in the ER or in tubes for surgery for a week, you still want me to be responsible for the regular rate for the session. DR Sapire replied " Yes, the flat tire and the heart attack are on you and I should bot be responsible;e for your cancellation. needless to say, I knew he is a money-hungry doctor with zero compassion for passion with a stressful lifestyle seeking some professional stability to find out if they get into a car accident Or hospitalization on the way to the office visit, the patient stress level will rise just to meet the doctor;'s financial demands. In occlusion, it is oboists $$$$ comes 1st health and safety second. I thanked him and walked away and never to return back. read more
