I write to inform former, past, and future clients that they may or may not be correctly diagnosed…read more Before I explain, I want to say the Dr Itoro was an accomodating and nice lady. She tried her best to meet my needs while I was 3 hours away for college. For that reason, I was grateful. However, I was misdiagnosed as Bipolar by Dr Itoro. During the 1.5 years I was treated, I chose to believe the diagnosis because I was desperate to return to my original self. I followed every guideline and suggestion. Took every pill, even when I felt emotionally worse, gained 30 lbs in 2 months, sickly, yeast infections, and my flawless skin turned cystic (rolling scars to this day). In an attempt to be a 5 star patient, I joined a Bipolar support group. It was during those weekly sessions that I realized, I was unlike the 30 regular attendants. So much so, the group leaders and the group consistenly inquired about my diagnosis, believing I was NOT bipolar. From there, I sought out other professional opinions. Not two, three, or four, but seven! Each and every one told me to immediately stop my medication for it was doing more damage than good. 1 month after stopping all medication, the depressive cloud faded, acne cleared, chronic sickness haulted, and I began to lose weight without trying. I felt balance the best I could be for having Post Traumatic Stress (my REAL problem which is in a good place now). A few months after stopping the medication, I tried to schedule an appointment with Dr Itoro to explain what happened, and ask questions. Her response was to find a new doctor since I did not see her during the last 3 months.... Lesson learned- seek mutiple opinions before signing up to prescription drugs. It will be three years come February since I stopped all medications prescribed by her (AND from anyone else). I STILL have reactions from those drugs.

I've had four psychiatrists and two therapists since I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder in 1999…read more Dr. Ibia is by orders of magnitude the best psychiatrist I've ever had. She's a psychiatrist, not a therapist, but she talks to me! And she listens! She has told me things about the meds I've been on for 16 years that I never learned in the 12 years I was on them before beginning to work with her - about interactions with OTC drugs and possible long-term side-effects - and she is extremely diligent about monitoring for these effects via asking questions and ordering regular blood tests. Dr. Ibia asks incisive questions about my life to determine whether anything medically significant is going on, while at the same time being warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Her stated goal is to keep me in a place where my symptoms are being managed - not just where I'm surviving them - and she strikes what I perceive to be an excellent balance in being willing to "tweak" my meds to deal with changes in my mental health, without reaching for drugs as a solution to everything. She is competent and caring and extremely concerned that I am getting the most helpful care possible. Possibly the best doctor - not just psychiatrist - I've ever had.

I reached out to McLean Counseling Center to request an appointment for disability documentation…read moreguidelines so I could receive accommodations for college. I have received accommodations before in college and provided my previous documentation. The response I received from Farah Assefnia, who works there as administrative office, was very brief, rude, and dismissive -- saying that they don't participate in that kind of service. When I followed up to ask if they have an age limit or don't serve adults, she simply said there is no age limit, however, they won't be able to provide documentation for college accommodations. Farah treated me poorly. Their website mentions "Support Services & Accommodations," so this was very unclear and disappointing. It was never specified if they specialize in accommodations for workplace, college students, high school students, middle school students, or elementary school students. I felt discriminated, disrespected, and dismissed. If they don't offer this service, a polite explanation and a referral to another clinic who has experience providing documentation and accommodations would have been the professional thing to do. I would not recommend this center to anyone who is a person of color, college students, young adults, or disabled individuals looking for support seeking support or accommodations. Farah Assefnia's response showed a complete lack of customer service skills. McLean Counseling Center needs to train their staff better or hire people who know how to treat clients with basic respect. They also need to update their website to specify what "Support Services & Accommodations" actually means.

Dr. Jacobawitz just recently opened this practice in Centerville…read more After struggling with finding a general practitioner to assist with perscription management after being diagnosed with ADD, I was relieved to find Dr. Jacobawitz. After my first Dr had moved too far away, I have never felt like I was being listened to at any other practice, but here I was given total attention and the full allotment of my paid time. Dr. Jacobawitz is thurough when needed while understanding the importance of brevity on other topics. To the point without sacrificing empathy, willing to share his own thoughts without expecting you to automatically agree. After my first meeting I was releived to have finally found a provider that seems to take pride in their work and truly strive to put the best interests of patients first.

Worst mental health evaluation I have ever received. Where to start? This was back in 2018 and it…read morestill gets my goat. Upon entry to the facility, I was greeted and sat by Norm the NP, only to be immediately left by myself in his office (probably instructed to fill out some forms or BS survey for quick evaluation--as many mental health professionals tend to love to dole out). Shortly thereafter, I was joined in the room by some grad student (still no licensed professional present - Where had NP Jacobowitz gone?) who promptly asked for my life story regarding my mental health history, including very personal details. First of all, I was never asked for consent for a student to sit in--much less sit in, ALONE, without a professional present--so I guess that's on me for not questioning it at the time. Second, how could the professional himself expect to evaluate a patient to whom he'd not yet spoken? It makes no sense. Once lady grad student was done taking down my personal history, Jacobowitz returned to the room to "diagnose" me and offer advice. Advice included drastically altering my then-current medications, encouraging me to be selfish, making me feel like my employer (with whom I held a personal relationship) cared nothing for me, judging my lifestyle, and overall causing me extreme discomfort. I have no idea where the positive reviews prior to mine came from, but I was fooled into seeing this guy after many years of fear caused by similarly heinous psychiatric appointments with ACTUAL doctors. If you've been through this routine, you undoubtedly know how scary it can be to entrust a brand new person with such extremely sensitive and personal aspects of your life. As soon as I left the building I burst into tears. Pretty sure that's a bad sign.
