Only three stars because this is a bit misleading. Dr. Norris is not in practice by herself. She is just one of a group of a group of women psychiatrist (Do they have more than one token male yet?) practicing under the marquee of "Tucson Outpatient Pshchiatry" off Camp Lowell at Swan Road.
Dr. Norris sounds wonderful. From the reviews that I've read on different review platforms she is the only one in that - place - that might be at least decent.
Therein lies the rub. It's the lack of decency due to a very low bar in regards to the abject lack of compassion that has been demonstrated to someone deep in one of the worst kinds of crisis that the sudden death of a parent can cause.
From the day I let the individual* whose "care" I have been engaged in, that person ignored my every cry for help. Nada. Crickets. So no. No Tucson Outpatient Psychiatry does not deserve to ride Dr. Norris's coat tails and get a rating above 3.5.
As it was alluded to by the representing individual just referenced, the, and this her term, "powers that be" put strict limits on their groups autonomy. It's the price they pay for working in the field of psychiatry and only having to work 9 to 5 with no overtime, weekends off and their consciousness turned off. Nice. For them, not the patient.
* I just can't bring myself to say, "Doctor" because of the whole Hippacratic Oath thing that whoever is "Behind the curtain." probably finds most annoying more than a guiding principle.
