I usually don't take the time to go out of my way to write reviews. But, seeing as how Dr. Lynch…read moreplayed probably the biggest role in assisting me in my sobriety and actually getting my life back to relative normalcy (which it your suffering with an opiate addiction you know that it sometimes feels like you can never get back to), I really feel that I must share what a wonderful Dr. He really is, especially after the terrible experiences that I've had with others in the field. I came to the office, expecting someone cold, busy, and maybe someone who secretly looked down on me for being addicted to drugs. (You would be surprised even in this field how common that is. He's completely different.. And that's why I've been with him for years now. Dr. Lynch looked me in the eye, asked questions in the least judgmental way, not only heard, but listened, to my responses. He cares, and it shows. I had been an addict in recovery with a prior relapse and good amount of sober time before that, so I was familiar with certain drugs and therapies that other Dr's had tried. He actually let me plan my own treatment.. With his guidance and input, of course. He listens, he cares, and he helps tailor treatment plans to your specific needs, requirments, based on your input and prior experiences. For the hopeless opiate addicts out there trying to quit using, first I'm so sorry, I know what your going through. I've tried to quit cold turkey many times, only to find myself feeling defeated and lacking will power when after days and days of every muscle and bone aching, nausea, inability to eat or good food down, even hydrating was difficult, restless and twitching legs, headaches, funny nose, insomnia, watery eyes. Oh yes, I remember and my heart is with you. Now as someone living a normal life I feel it is my responsibility to share what saved my life. I came out of detox and long term treatment and headed to the city for sober living. After all that clean time, you would think that I wouldn't mess it up. And yet, the whole drive out to the city to register at the half way home all I could think about was scoring. "Luckily" for me there was a problem with registration and I needed to have a prescription for Suboxone before being admitted but no Dr would see me for along time. So, I pick up my bags with no further plans than going to find dope (because my body was still so off and the cravings were still hypnotic) I hadn't felt right in my mind or body since I last used, over 3 months.. On my way to score, Dr Lynch called and told me to come on in that we would get everything sorted out for sober living. On no notice at all, he prioritized me and my situation right away, not even knowing I was steps from a relaps. I had friends that have used suboxone with great success but if course didn't think it would work for me. Opiate addicts!!!! It works!!!!! The most selfish thing that I could do is not scream it from the rooftops! If it were not for Dr. Lynch and the way he practices medicine and actually cares about his patients, I don't know where I'd be. I thought I was one of those people that could never feel good enough in body and mind to have a normal life again, without using drugs. Suboxone also has a generic now and every day sober is a blessing. Cravings were instantly cut by at least 85% right away, which was enough for me to put in the last bit of work. Body pains, 90%+ gone, comfort of knowing that I couldn't use (or it wouldn't work if I tried) was such a relief, and a sense of calm in my mind, like a normal human being, without the high feeling. I checked into my sober house, continued seeing Dr. Lynch and going to meetings, got a job, paid taxes!! Felt good to have support and finally be stable again in my life and Dr. Lynch played a huge role, he is a great Dr. I'm clean 4+ years now, moved , suburbs and have a rewarding life, still seeing him of coarse. Whew, long review!! Lol Alexandra F.

He is willing to work evenings and weekends and tirelelssly advocates for what is best for his patients. A great guy with a beautiful mind. A bit ahead of his time in terms of his social awareness, but someday the world will know how right he was. In the mean time he is just a nice guy to see if you are having trouble and need someone to help pick you up and get you back on your feet. 5 stars through and through.

"Not good" is putting it mildly, Yelp. So Yelp has decided that it can't recommend my genuine…read morereview about this loser of a therapist. But Yelp has no problem recommending a ridiculous review from some woman who likes repeating herself and, on another site, refers to this dreadful therapist as "talented." Talented? Really? People who can act and sing and play piano are talented. He does a good of "acting" like a therapist, but the truth is he doesn't know what he's doing, and he doesn't pay attention. It's not a matter of "talent." It's a matter of being genuinely caring and perceptive and thorough. Has nothing to do with being "talented." I also don't remember him as a caring person except when it's about him getting paid. He definitely cares about that. He doesn't possess a natural concern or sensitivity to other people, though he puts on a fine act. I try to understand his reasons for ignoring my complaints about him, and he probably thinks what happened to me was not his fault. I disagree. He's the one who decided I was "bipolar" and set my life in a devastating downward spiral. His arrogant little diagnosis cost me everything, including my enthusiasm for life. Because of his deadly diagnosis, I walked around in a fog for 23 years! That was HIS doing, and he killed my spirit for living. And now many years later, I realize that as a result of his counsel, my life will be cut short. Please spare me of all this "talent." I recall so clearly the day he reassured me, in his tender therapist voice, that it would be safe for me to take lithium, not just for now, but for the rest of my life. It's sickening that he offered this counsel to me without any scientific data to back his claim. That's not how a genuinely caring person would behave. Talk about screwing up a person's life. He ignored what should have been obvious signs to a trained professional that I was suffering from a neurological disorder. Yes, the great (talented, caring) Wizard lacked a basic clue of what he was doing to my life. A distant relative noticed in 5 minutes that I wasn't lifting my heels when I walked, something the expensive (talented) "genius" failed to notice in five years. He completely missed the most important diagnosis of my life and now wants potential suckers (new clients) to believe that he's an astute observer of human behavior and that my "negativity" is the real problem here. I feel sick just writing those words. I wonder how well he would deal with a "professional" whose stupid counsel cost him lots and lots of money, but more importantly, years of life. I wasn't alive while I was receiving his "help." I was going through the motions. Yelp tells me my review is looking epic, while it places it in the unrecommended file. Yelp is in cahoots with this joke of a therapist.

Unfortunately, I experience daily reminders of the damage this practitioner did to my life. I have…read morepermanent health issues, thanks to him, and I live with the realization that not only did I spend a huge amount of money for his worthless services, but that he doesn't care about the damage he did to my life. It is devastating that I put my faith in someone who is such a moral coward that he chooses not to respond in any way to my very real complaints about him. Sorry but I am unable to forgive him for his inept treatment and his decision to pretend that I no longer exist. How ridiculous is it that psychologists are paid so well for doing so little? When I tried to communicate my physical symptoms to him, he insisted that my problems were all in my head. Instead of insights I got insults. What is so painfully clear is that he failed to listen to me. But he actually failed me at every level. Today this practitioner takes NO responsibility for what happened to me apparently because he considers himself above all that. Clearly he wants all of the rewards that come with his work--but not the responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is to confront the long-term damage that he caused. But I understand there's no money involved for this "helping professional" in revisiting the past. Instead of responding to me, he turned his focus to pumping up his online scores--funny how suddenly he received such glowing, exceptional reviews to offset the bad reviews I left. Instead of responding to me directly, he turned his attention to mitigating the damage of my negative reviews. The "P" in his PhD clearly stands for Parasite. Had no idea I was dealing with this kind of person. He did so much more harm than good. I have such a clear memory of him telling me that I absolutely must take lithium, and I am so angry at myself for believing him. This, in fact, was his parting message to me, and I cringe at his laziness. His care took the life out of my spirit and my soul. It deadened me. As he was wrong about so many things, he was completely wrong in his diagnosis and treatment, and I have such profound sorrow that I spent so much money on someone who failed to provide me with any meaningful insights and saw such limited options for me. I wasted my time, money, and energy on this lame and clueless practitioner. His care nearly cost me my life. In fact, I paid for his mistakes and his lousy advice and service in many, many ways. He nearly destroyed my relationships with friends and family and truly threatened my very livelihood. He had a profoundly negative impact on every aspect of my life. Don't fall for his kindness act. It's all part of his caring professional routine, and it is truly only an act. He really is only interested in your money. Anybody can act like a kind and caring person, and he learned that part of his job well. But he is not genuine. Sadly, I cannot undo the damage that he did. It is completely disheartening that he demonstrates not an ounce of concern or regret for the role he played in all of this. He was so careless and negligent in the way he treated me, and I am unable to forgive him. This guy's inept treatment truly damaged me. His careless diagnosis cost me so much and in so many different ways. He harmed me in major ways, and not only does he not apologize, he doesn't even acknowledge his central role in destroying so much of my life. That's 23 years of my life that no one can give back to me. I just wish that alarm bells had gone off and I had realized that this practitioner did not have my best interests at heart. I recall the time I planned an out-of-town trip to see my family. I let him know well in advance that I would be unavailable for our weekly sessions. Yet, his bill showed a full charge for the dates I was away. I told him this immediately, and he looked at me like I should already know that he was charging me to hold the appointment time! Yes, he charged the FULL rate and acted like I should already know this! Charging for missed sessions was something he never discussed with me but felt perfectly entitled to do. This unethical practice is actually a form of stealing. If I had to do it over again, not only would I have not have paid for those sessions, I would have canceled all future sessions. I have serious health issues today because I listened to him and continued to take a drug that numbed my senses and truly poisoned my body. This careless, clueless man completely misdiagnosed me and did a superb job of messing up my life and charging me a fortune. It's his fault that I walked around like a zombie for 23 years.. And as the final insult, he has decided to ignore my anger and complaints. Here's his service in a nutshell: "You're bipolar. You're welcome. That will be $80." Save yourself from thinking that this clueless wonder is in any position to help you improve your life.
