"My experience sounds very similarto others! I went to discuss treatment for my previously diagnosed ADHD. He never introduced himself and stared at the computer almost the whole time. When he would look away from the computer, he closed his eyes to talk, which was extremely awkward. It was clear he diagnosed bipolar before I walked in. He immediately put the MDQ in front of me and confronted me on every no. When I would try to explain why I chose "no" he would cut me off and say "it's just a yes or no, it doesn't need context". He has books about bipolar everywhere, so I had a gut feeling he was pigeonholing me into a diagnosis. He prescribed a brand new antipshyschotic (can we say kickback) that doesn't even treat the symptoms I came in to discuss! Thankfully, I am actually counselor myself and took to digging deeper into my symptoms and discussing the diagnosis with my other mental health providers. I have stopped taking his antipsychotic and will not be returning!"

"I didn’t even meet with him! I was there for my daughters appointment. After waiting 90 minutes, I decided to look up some reviews on him (totally should have done that before making the appointment) and read a huge amount of just awful reviews. After reading all those, my daughter and I just left. I wasn’t going to put her through that. I never felt good about this appointment…I didn’t like the Dent building, his office was not welcoming or comfortable. The office staff were weird. The reviews just cemented Gow I was feeling. "

"He didn't introduce himself. I came in as a new patient, an intake, to try to get a second opinion. He acted totally uninterested and annoyed that I was there. He stared at his computer and made virtually no eye contact nor even really looked at me the entire time, I'm not sure what he was looking at, but asked me if I would be surprised to hear that I may have bipolar disorder. Gee, Dr. Capote, anything for you to write some mood stabilizers and send me on my way so all my follow up appointments can be with someone who's not a physician thereafter. I want my time, the expense I made commuting from far away, and my copay back. What a disappointing waste of time. "

"was kind, courteous and gave us different approach to the problems at hand. This was our first visit and it was approximately one hour in duration. he wasn't interested in time, more about what our concerns were and how to address them."
