It seems my old review is gone so Im reposting it.

I was a bit apprehensive about this provider after seeing the bad reviews on Google, but I decided to give her a shot. I'm saddened to say that the other reviewers were in fact right, and this provider's lack of professionalism, empathy, or tact was atrocious. I went in looking for help with anxiety attacks. I explained that I have severe trauma with having medication forced down my throat for years as a teenager and that I'm not looking for something daily as I personally don't feel comfortable with it due to that. She insisted that I needed depression medication and that I was refusing treatment. I politely informed her that I am not refusing treatment but that I don't feel comfortable being told I need daily medication for one thing when the reason I was here was another thing entirely, and that I would like to be treated for my actual pressing issue. She then proceeded to tell me unprompted that she wouldn't prescribe me Xanax or (another drug, I don't remember which) to which I replied "I did not ask for that? I just needed something that would help me not have to go to the hospital a few times a year when I feel like I can't breathe." I then politely told her this wasn't a good fit for me and walked out. All in all, this provider was rude, tactless, and implied I was a drug seeker and then proceeded to get rude when when I specifically told her that I did NOT want daily meds. (Which to be honest I don't understand why she would name drop medications she won't give me that I didn't ask for, putting words in my mouth, and then proceed to want to medicate me with yet another thing I didn't ask for, for a problem I wasn't there for to begin with.) I think perhaps she should take her own advice and look into getting a diagnosis and medication for herself because normal people do not treat other human beings like this without some severe emotional and power/control issues. I've seen dozens of head doctors since I was a preteen and I've never in my life seen someone so incompetent and rude.
