After my interaction with Dr. Bashkoff, I had to file professional complaints for her unbelievable…read moreand unprofessional behavior. From the onset of our meeting she was angry and rude. She had files strewn all over her office - open on her desk that I could read and unattended in her public waiting room where anyone could access them. She didn't even know why I was there, after about 2 hours, she actually asked me why I was there. She wanted details about my medical history. I asked what she planned to do with my medical information and she refused to answer and tried to trick or shame me into signing release forms that I hadn't read. I told her I wasn't comfortable giving her private information if she wouldn't tell me who it would be shared with. She kept asking what I was hiding in my medical records and then twice asked if I had STDs that I was worried that everyone would find out about. Really?? She told me her report was based on my orthopedic health - this is outside of her scope of practice. Tried to shame me about asking my employer for a reasonable accomodation due to a disability - news flash, any disabled person has that basic human right and should not be made to feel embarrassed for asking for a RA. Luckily, when she was so openly hostile toward me, I did a quick google search and found recommendations from other reviewers to record my session. I am so glad that I did, she can't deny her behavior or make up lies about me- I have it all recorded. As an added note - in providing forensic psychology services, she deals with sex offenders and she has such poor judgement, that she displays a picture of a topless child on her desk. To normal people, it's a cute little kid, but something totally different to some of the sick people she sees. Is she that incompetent or that oblivious or is she trying to use that child to bait reaction from some of the offenders she sees? It is so scary to have someone in her profession with such poor judgement and clear bias. She has power over many people's lives -she conducts evaluations relevant to criminal, civil and family court issues amung other services. After my interaction with her, I have a hard time believing the positive reviews and really have to wonder if they are written by the doctor herself... especially the ones that say they were removed for violating terms of service (curiously, both have her name on them).
