After having been on medication for over twelve years I was required to take a urine drug screen to…read morecontinue, though I had never previously taken one, had changed nothing about frequency or dosage over that time period. My previous doctor at HFP, who was a respectful, intelligent, good-faith partner in my health care, retired. I'd have begged him to stay but he was emotionally exhausted. Can't imagine why. I was tested for heroin, cocaine, barbiturates, fentanyl, marijuana, oxycodone, methadone and other substances. They did not itemize in advance the things they were testing me for - I found out on the results. They tested for weed. Which is none of their business. Go for it, guys. You own my body. You don't need a search warrant. You aren't the government. You can just blackmail me for my health needs. I can only assume that this information will eventually be used to deny me insurance for one reason or another. I just discovered I now owe six hundred dollars for the privilege of carrying a bottle of my own urine down a hallway in full view of other patients to prove that I am not a heroin addict. Passed with flying colors, everyone. I haven't done an interesting drug since 1995 and have never been addicted to anything but cigarettes, which I quit, ages ago, like everyone else. Interestingly, they don't check for cigarettes, which are as addictive as anything, and have quite a bit of historical data supporting their lethal effects. Great news, it is completely fine with whatever corporate behemoth now controls HFP if you smoke cigarettes. Perhaps I should start. They also neglected to mention the $600 insult that awaited me. I guess they thought that was best left unsaid. Honestly, they were probably right on that one. (If you're curious what phenyclidine is - it's on the report on the image, that would be PCP. They tested me for PCP. I am paying $600 for a completely unnecessary test that established that I do not take PCP.) I'm stuck with them, because it is my responsibility to myself and my family to do what it takes to get mental health care. I came very close to not doing it, but I need ADHD medicine to function. When I questioned the requirement, I was told 'everyone is treated the same way' to which I would respond 'Yes, but shouldn't no one be treated like a criminal if there is no evidence they are a criminal other than that they are living their lives?' But I cannot say this, because they will note on the charts that I am 'difficult' - they probably already did - and things will be worse. So here is the result of this: I am in my fifties. Will I get a mammogram? No. Will I get a colonoscopy? No. Will I get a pap smear? You have got to be kidding. Not in a million years. Will I submit to any regular testing of any kind? No. If I have a fever of a 103, will I call them? No. If my appendix bursts, I'll go to the hospital. If I break my arm, I'll go to the hospital. If I get the flu and have a fever for four days, I'll take Nyquil and drink orange juice and suck it up and hope I don't die and if I get close enough to dying, I hope my partner will take me to the hospital. "Parole officers" are not doctors. I hate the medical care I get, and I hate that I can't get better, and I miss Peter Weitzman, a respectful and compassionate doctor. Those don't exist anymore. Oh, and the benzos on the report? Oh my yes. I had to take a Xanax just to get in their doorway. I'm not playing whack-a-mole hunting through the cabled-together conglomerate of a nationally terrible health care system try to put a glass slipper on the kind of doctor that no longer exists. I am clearly emotionally not ready, and you can't call and ask 'do you treat patients like criminals?' because that marks you ask a drug-seeker. This isn't obeying in advance. It's obeying because I have no other options available.

In my 15 years of dealing with all sorts of doctors to treat my anxiety, I have never met a…read morephysician as incompetent as Killian O Connell. I will summarize this but this review should be taken seriously. I started seeing him around 2011. As a child that was ravaged by the chokehold of anxiety, I sought help. It was then after the first appointment that I was prescribed Wellbutrin. I had horrific side effects. Irritability, dry mouth, worse anxiety. So I stopped taking it. After that drug didn't work, he prescribed me Ativan. He never once told me how addictive the drug would be. Not only that, but he prescribed it to me like candy. He would tell me to take 3MG a day even though it was supposed to be as needed. So for 6 years I took this medication not knowing how addictive it was. But he was determined to keep me on it. Fast forward to September 2018. I went to him in a deep state of depression looking to try an SSRI. These medications are typically used for depression and are not addictive like Ativan is. As I am sitting in the chair in his room, he REFUSED to prescribe me any SSRI stating the "horrible side effects it would cause me". But there he was again trying to get me to take Wellbutrin knowing how many horrific side effects I had from this medication. He tells me "take Wellbutrin in the morning" and then after I sat there for 10 minutes arguing with me, he tells me "take it at night" to which I replied "I thought you said to take it in the morning?". With laughter in his reply, he says "Well it's morning somewhere, right?" From that moment on, I have never stepped foot in his office. Such a thoughtless, coincided and incompetent physician. I am happy to say, after switching practices and getting on to an SSRI for the last 10 months, I have gained my life back. All while going against his word. To save potential future patients from he shit show I went through for 7 years with this practice, PLEASE don't go here for your psychiatric needs. Go elsewhere where you'll find the care and thoughtfulness you deserve.
