For years I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Dr. Shnaidman was the first and only to psychiatrist to listen to me, to realise I have PTSD and had never had a manic episode without starting a new antidepressant or similar medication. I’ve been seeing her for years and she’s the only psychiatrist I trust. I had a psychiatrist who over prescribed benzodiazepines which caused me to be psychotic. Dr. Shnaidman listened to me. She got me on the right medication. She helped me become emotionally stable. I haven’t been in an inp... read more

"We felt sorry for R--- and scheduled him without verifying all the insurance information; I have already reprimanded my staff for this. Sadly I cannot afford to work for free and you will be responsible for the cost of the appointment. I would ask that you send us copies of all of Ryan's insurance cards today so that Priyanka can send whatever bills we can. If UHC does pay you will of course be responsible for the copay/coinsurance that medicaid covers. If they do not then you will be responsible for the whole bill. This is... read more

Please do not consider this woman for your mental health needs. She is rude, ego driven, and completely unprofessional. There are plenty of reviews that verify this as well. Unfortunately she has the credentials but nothing else.

I haven't seen Dr. Shnaidman for some time as my insurance has changed sadly and no longer covers her but she was my favorite psychiatrist I have ever seen. I really liked her a lot and she helped properly diagnose me when others had not. I found her beside manner great and I'm not sure about the other negative reviews. She was helpful to me and kind. I hope I can see her again at some point.

Run, don't walk AWAY. Unprofessional is the nicest description I can come up with. If it let me give zero stars I would. (Her staff is decent, but that isn't why one would go to her.)

She was uncaring and irresponsible with my mental health. She would get an attitude with me and it was apparent she would not even look at my chart or remember me before I came in for follow-up appointments. She would never speak to me on the phone, even for emergencies, and would demand I come in and pay the full fee for a session. Absolutely atrocious, all she talked about was herself and the book she wrote.

Dr. Shnaidman dropped my daughter like a hot potato because she was admitted to a hospital and then sent to a 5 day a week center for a few months. So since she wasn't seeing her for a few months we received a certified letter that she would not be her doctor any more.

Dr. Shnaidman lashed out at me because of what appeared to be her frustration that I wasn't getting better. She yelled at me for not going to therapy, when I was going to therapy regularly. Eventually, she told me that she didn't want to see me anymore because we weren't getting anywhere. So she basically gave up on trying to help me and was rather mean about it.
