Basically, the guy is an absolute fraud. Not in the sense that he doesn't have credentials: he does. He just messes up time and time again. He ended up hospitalizing me after HE messed up my medications-I followed doctor's orders until the end. In the hospital, he traumatized me, ordering me restrained when I was sobbing and upset because I was hospitalized. He stuffed me in the intensive care unit, and the nurses periodically yelled at me and handled me roughly, forcing shots into my butt and watching me while I showered, no doubt on his orders (for what? to see if I would hurt myself? totally unnecessary!). The man has messed up with my medications at least six times, each time resulting in severe trauma, but the hospitalization HE caused, that was HIS fault, was by far the worst. I never have had a worse experience with a doctor. I tried to switch from him, and I indeed had excellent reasons to, but he told my parents that this was a "stupid" idea (probably would have been the smartest thing I ever did) and that only HE can take care of me, since he has been with me so long and knows my history (yeah, right-like he took care of me so well before? give me a break). Basically, on my parents insistence, I am stuck with the worst doctor I ever had. Give me a break! I would like to have some excellent psychiatrist save me from the hell of seeing him, but too many psychiatrists are exactly the same way-never admitting fault, cold, callous, and excellent liars (like Dr. Mcgrath is an excellent, experienced liar-oh, and he admits he was sued for malpractice before, with just cause, I am sure!). He promised to never hospitalize me, and he did. He had the audacity to deny that the trauma I went through never happened, trying very hard to brainwash me and heavily medicate me so I would forget, insisting I was well-treated there when it was the worst experience of my life, and under his orders I was treated worse than an animal! I would like to add that I hate the man, but unfortunately I don't have the capacity to hate anybody. Nevertheless, I cannot deny that this is the worst doctor I ever had. Save yourself-see someone else. He is like a spider who will trap you in his web of lies!!

This pretty much sums it up as well (it's a draft review that Wellness.com gave me based on answer choices)
The waiting area is rather small, but there is always a seat available. It would be nice if it was more spacious, but I've never had to stand. They seemed stuck in the past. I was nervous about being exposed to archaic treatment methods. Their prices were not fair at all. They were extremely overpriced and I felt ripped off. I wish they had displayed their credentials more prominently. I eventually saw them, but it always makes me feel more comfortable when I can notice a professional's credentials right away. I was shocked at how much I ended up having to pay for my appointment. They were very expensive.
