I saw Dr. Anderson for a year, solely because she took my insurance. When I dropped her, I was so desperate for real help that I went to another (wonderful!) psychiatrist that didn't take insurance.
Dr. Anderson treated me like a child. Numerous times I tried to explain to her that I felt the diagnosis I'd received from previous doctors was wrong, and that I needed to be reevaluated. She refused and told me my diagnosis didn't matter, because "we treat symptoms". Actually, it does matter, because it turns out I *do* have the diagnosis I believed I did, and nearly everything she was doing to treat me is either known to be ineffective or make things worse.
The "nail in the coffin" was when, at my last appointment, she forgot why she prescribed me something. I reported that the drug she had prescribed a month earlier seemed to be helping me feel a little better. She looked at me like I was stupid, and told me she'd only given me that to help me sleep. Then she prescribed another drug that made me miserable again.
She is rude, irresponsible, and cannot possibly care about her patients. She would often take a while to return my calls, but was lightning fast at billing my insurance. read more
