I have had the same experience as just about everyone else who left a poor review. I Too, was diagnosed as bi-polar within 5 minutes. All my follow-up visits take a max of 10 minutes. I asked to take myself of of one of the meds .Depakote, and I haven’t noticed one bit of difference.i probably never needed it. When I try to mention anything I might be struggling with, like feeling more depressed or withdrawn, he just gives me platitudes. Get out in the sun, go do something fun, etc. I don’t know why I’ve stayed with him so l... read more
I received a list of providers from my insurance when I needed to find a psychiatrist. Dr. Atwal was the only one that was accepting new patients and could see me in the near future. Now I know why. I thought I had an appointment today. Turns out that it was last week and I had missed it. I explained that my purse was recently stolen along with the appointment card and that I never received a reminder call. The receptionist was condescending and argumentative and said I owe them $50 for a no show fee. I said I’d like to talk... read more
3/28/19 Very disappointing experience with this doctor. He did not listen, wrote me a script for the wrong medication and when I asked him to change it, he wrote the wrong meds AGAIN then insisted I take them! I told him to look at my chart and check it. Without looking into at it, He yelled at ME in front of the waiting room. I left and will never go to see him again. Stay FAR away from this arrogant doctor.
I needed a Phych Diagnostic Eval. because I need a Neurostimulator. I got a approval from my Insur. Co to see Atwal for the eval. It took a long time for me to get a approval from Humana. This DR is on the list of Humana DRs. I talked to his office several times prior to my appt on 8/30. When I got to DR Atwal's office he told me that he doesn't take Humana. I had the approval letter with me. He wouldn't even take the time to look at it. He was very rude to me. He hadn't notified Huma
I would not recommend Dr. Atwal to anyone. The appointment I made was for my son who was in dire need of help. As we walked in the office for the first time, Dr. Atwal was yelling at a patient in front of a waiting room full of others. We stayed to give him the benefit of the doubt however the visit ended without my son being able to see the Dr. and being yelled at as we walked out the door. Not to mention we drove an hour to get there. EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL.
I have been in the medical field for 30 years and I think Dr. Atwal is one of the best. His experience speaks for itself. I guess I am one of the few that doesn’t have bi-polar issues because in the years I have seen him he never mentioned it. My first visit he asked a series a questions and I could tell he was following his diagnosis. The questions just confirmed it. People would be upset with their general practitioner if he diagnosed a cold within 5 minutes too. They must know alot more
Dr atwal must have been out of his mind when he took his oath as a doctor, absolutely no professionalism. He was awful to me and is an incompetent doctor, I would never recommend anyone with an addiction or seeking psychiatric help to go to him. He diagnoses every patient as bi polar within 5 minutes it’s ridiculous. Stay far away.
Dr. Atwal doesn't listen, he is the most dismissive person I've ever met. He became upset with me several times and even humiliated me in the lobby when I had to go back to his office to clarify his doctor's note. He is extremely rude and didn't respect me or my privacy enough to take me back ro his office for a quick discussion to clarify what his note meant. Do not go to him. You'll leave feeling worse than before you got there. I will be filing a complaint against him with the medical board.
I see a really bad pattern in these reviews. I had the very same problem. In 5 minutes he told me that I am bipolar. Sometimes I was in and out of his office in 2 minutes. He is a horrible doctor. You will more than likely be diagnosed as bipolar and be treated badly. I have a much better doctor now. And no, I am not bipolar.
