Where to begin⌠my daughter saw âDoctorâ Fleishman in November of 2018. Unless my ex-wife lied about it to me, and subsequently to the courts, that was the only time Fleishman ever saw her. Between November of 2018 and January 2019, I spoke with Fleishman on the phone a couple of times. My ex-wife and I went to an appointment, without our daughter in January of 2019. During the course of our hour long session to the tune of $175, that he refuses to take insurance for, he mentioned that our daughter might be going through, what he called the âFraidy cat yearsâ. Based on the one session with our daughter, followed by the one session with the parents, he decided that she needed to be medicated for an anxiety disorder. The reason I put the word doctor in quotations earlier in this review, is he is not a medical doctor, and is unable to prescribe the recommended medication. Interestingly enough, primary care agreed and prescribed the requested medication. Fast forward to February of 2021. Fleishman has had no subsequent contact with me or my daughter. My ex-wife apparently called him at some point (though our daughter was seeing another therapist at the time), and told him that I wasnât abiding by his recommendations. He testified as an âexpert witnessâ in the family law case, and indicated that he had seen my daughter twice, and had never met me, or even spoke to me on the phone. I found that very odd, considering he ran my credit card for $175, and as the result of it being a JetBlue rewards card, there was discussion of New York, where he said he was from. He mentioned that New York City is safer now than it was when he was growing up, and there was other casual chit chat about his time in NYC. His testimony was also later discredited by my former spouse, who agreed that we went to a joint session. His excuse? âI donât have that in my notesâ. He proceeded to stand by his diagnosis and recommendations, based on one meeting with my child, whom he hadnât seen in over two years. This clown likes to hear himself talk, and you should have seen his reaction when he was admitted as an âexpert witnessâ. I donât expect him to remember meeting me on one occasion over two years ago, but medicating a minor, and standing by recommendations made over two years prior, without seeing the patient is ridiculous. He has a huge ego, and couldnât care less about anyoneâs mental health. đ Ivan!
Edited after Ivanâs response:
You didnât âadvocateâ for anyone. Your testimony was completely discredited, because my ex-wife even agreed that you were incorrect. You saw the patient one time, and two years later, you were still standing by your diagnosis. I also notice that you didnât disagree with anything I said, other than the âexpert witnessâ partâŚ.
