Thought I was the only one, until I looked up reviews of her online. There's a clear pattern of the complaints about her over the years.I've never in my 15 years of therapy etc., encountered a more "unprofessional", professional. Dr. S was; agressive, argumentative, ignorant, stubborn, and generally rude. She refused to accept any of my medical diagnosies I've gotten over my lifetime ,denying I am on the Autistic Spectrum due to my ability to occassionally look her in the eye! She wanted to remove my diagnoses on my record for APT, and create her own, after 10minutes of meeting me. She was actually insulting my intelligence repeatedly, stating I wasn't educated enough to make a decision about my own treatment. I explained my awful times w/any meds containing naloxone, due to chronic inflammation &she said "that's irrelevant", which I know is false! Her behavior was baffling. Everyone else I've worked with there has been amazing , kind & helpful. Her position there truly needs review!
she's so horrible...she made a client stay in the psychiatric ward of a hospital for an extra week over a problem he had had over a year prior- if it was such a huge issue, then something should have been done back when it happened- NOT OVER A YEAR LATER and after not having those issues anymore for over a year. How is that justified? My gosh, the older dr's at APT are so miserable, it makes me wonder if they just all hate their jobs and lives and take it out on the patients. But lets face it, most ppl get into psychiatry to find their own marbles. Apparently a few them have lost some. She also gave a diagnosis of "persecutory delusions"- yes, I was wrong about something t I claimed and that was the paranoia, but the REST IS TRUE- I was severely abused as a child and they're essentially telling me I'm wrong. When someone has hurt you all your life you have good reason to be paranoid around them- that's not f*cking illness, it's adaptation. My best friend WITNESSED the abuse. F.U. APT.
I agree with the previous reviews of Dr. Savage. The doctors seemed drained and jaded. Almost like your talking to a wall. You get generalized with all the real jerks that abuse the system just because your there. Whats the difference between methadone or suboxone and actual opiates. Synthetic i know its rhetorical. The longest i was ever addicted to a hard drug was a couple years. Than I detox always stayed away from methadone due to the horror stories of how long it takes to come off. But the older i got the more responsibilities so i gave in. Now ive been on a prescribed opiode for over 10 years. If I dont have it I get deathly I'll and manic. Truly a danger to myself. But if my script gets screwed up its never our fault the patient. Most of the time it is im sure but I know of numerous times ive gotten false positives on urinalysis and the breathalyzer. Which they dont let you do twice so for the rest of my time at apt I have a false breathalyzer marked down as a positive one.
I am about to go there again who is Dr savage and how do I not see her lol
