I have been seeing his nurse practitioner for years and now all of a sudden Dr.Schachter wants me to see him every other month instead of Mr.Phillips. I used to could get my lorazepam every 3 months but now I have to be seen every single month and am only given 30 days. Dr.Schachter spends on average one minute with me. He only writes paper scrips which are extremely inconvenient as the pharmacy can’t read them and have to call the office to have them translate. I have extreme depression and anxiety and this going back and f... read more
Dr Shatner is a great Doctor, he treats you with your problems and his staff is very nice and helpful too. You don't have long wait times because he see's you as soon as you get there. I would recommend him highly to anyone, he is a genius. I would give him 100 stars if I could.
This guy absolutely does not care about you or your wellbeing. He always asks the same question, “how are the meds working?” and then hands you a prescription and sends you on your way. Literally, you’re in his office for less than 3 minutes! I was always given the option for a 6:30 am appointment but he was always the first worker there unlocking the doors at 6:45, but if you’re 14 seconds late to your appointment, you have to reschedule and are charged a fee. He will randomly take you off your medication cold turkey and is... read more
He took me to the office and didn’t even let me sit down and before he started asking me questions about money. Telling me that a drug test is $900 after I had already paid for my visit! Then he wouldn’t listen to a thing I said. The only thing that mattered to him was money. The staff was nice over the phone but not nice in person. I feel very disrespected, and like I did not matter to him at all!! I won’t be going back there!!!!
Dr Schacter has his own ideas about what is best for you, even if you already know what works from other doctors and have been on an effective regimine for years. He needs to teach academic medicine or do research. He doesn't listen. He just wants to try the most expensive, trendy medicine that was just developed based on some half baked academic theory.
I have been a patient of Schachter for ~15 years. He was my favorite doctor. I was finally on a regimen that worked. We tried to swap things around once and it really messed me up. My husband had to take me in. Schachter listened put me back on my initial medications and increased the dosage. So a few more years pass and everything is going smooth until… Schachter cuts me off of 3 medications, COLD-TURKEY, one of the medications wasn’t prescribed by him and it’s for a condition he is unable to take over care, unless he wants... read more
First off, as others have mentioned appointments are in 10 minute blocks and don’t last that long. He said operates a legalized pill mill where his #1 priority is getting you a new script as quickly as possible. He always asks “how things are going? Are the meds working?” but he doesn’t really care what you say. He’s already writing on his script pad. I was already looking for a new psychiatrist at the strong urging of my therapist due to increasing depression and passive suicidal thoughts. When I asked Schachter for a chang... read more
Dr. Schachter´s colleague apologized for his conduct to me for not listening to his patient (me). I told him I was allergic to antidepressants. I had been told that by another doctor. He insisted I would be fine with an antidepressant and a mood stabilizer, and it in fact triggered a manic like state where I didn´t sleep for days. He never humbly admitted he was mistaken and just acted like it didn´t happen. While I am told he is a brilliant academic psychiatrist, I strongly feel he would be better suited for teaching or res... read more
He is no - nonsense, and we both enjoy our brief appointments. Going to sign up for Zoom tetehealth thing - the walk in and back out is very difficult.
