"Very experienced and professional"

"Lipton never explained anything, even when I asked. His attitude was "Shut up, and take the medicine." Furthermore, the medications he prescribed had unbearable side effects, which he simply dismissed. He considered the side effects reported by me to be impossible, so he dismissed them as paranoia. (In fact, I have no history of paranoia whatsoever.). Finally, I began to exhibit symptoms of Meniere's disease. He misdiagnosed my vertigo as psychosis, and put me on anti-schizophrenia medication. This, of course, made everything worse, as I was not even psychotic to begin with. He is so incompetent, I don't understand how he can be practicing. "
