Literally the worst dr ever! I feel like his medication guinea pig. Told him how bad and frequent my anxiety attacks are and he said, “well good thing we don’t pass away from them” he has ZERO compassion, doesn’t listen and needs to RETIRE!

Everything I read in these reviews about Zeidman is completely spot on. Has a GOD syndrome. So very rude. My niece has been going to him for several years now but only because she needs her meds. Finding a new doctor is an on going process. We went in for a consultation that was requested by a group home concerning her diagnosis. He never addressed that but rather gave a new prescription for a new diagnosis. When I asked about what we came for he because infuriated and told us point blank we had to leave. Began ranting about... read more

I agree with all of the other reviews because he is extremely unprofessional. Two examples... first, he condescendingly said that I didn't need a "pick-me-upper" (referring to an anti-depressant) as if I was a 1950's housewife, even after I told him I had suicidal thoughts. Second, I've been stuck going to him for years because of insurance and he never remembers who I am or my diagnosis - like he can't be bothered to take two minutes to read my file before the appointment.

He thinks mental illness is funny. I wonder if he thinks the Holocaust is funny.

Made me feel like a lab rat, he told me that he took enjoyment out of my mental pain. Worst experience I’ve ever had.

Wow - I wish I'd found this site months ago. I completely agree with all of these reviews. As others have said above, all he did was go through a questionnaire, and specified at one point that he just wanted yes / no answers - apparently, I was giving him too much information. He put me on meds that don't seem to be having any real effect. He was a no call / no show to one of our appointments, then they tried to charge ME a no-show fee because I stopped waiting when he was 15 minutes late. Bottom line, he didn't really seem ... read more

Deplorable, Unfortunately this is the only place covered by my insurance. After my second visit I have decided to pay out of pocket to a doctor who actually cares about a new patients history to provide a good continuum of care. I did not feel that the PA was compassionate earthed. I requested that my prior records be transferred so they could have a good history before changing meds that have been working for over 4 years. When I tried to explain my history doctor Zeidman kept Interrupting me so I was not able to complete m... read more

Awful.... my 1st impression of him was that he was a hoarder by the look of his office. Piles and piles of paperwork, mail and who knows what else everywhere. I agree with the other patients. All he wants to do is ask you a list of non related questions and take you off of lifesaving meds that have been working for you for years. Maybe he needs to retire because he forgot that he’s a psychiatrist and his job is to help his patients. Never again!

I wholeheartedly agree with all these 1 star reviews! Had my 1st appt with him yesterday &I'm still fuming! I was there an hour &after answering his questions he cut me off everytime I wanted to explain reasons why I've been receiving the treatment plan my prior Dr& I'd worked together on for years, The 1st thing he said was I'm on too many meds& some made no sense& he TOLD me he'll be taking me off some. He doesn't know me, didn't want to hear anything I had to say.I was cut off trying to tell him it took10yrs before we fin... read more
