Charlatan! Preying on children! Run!

Drachenberg is the worst sort of medical provider, a scam artists. While he presents himself as a Psychiatrist, he only has a MD degree from Argentina and NO ZERO NONE training in Psychology, Psychiatry, Therapy, etc. He says he 'trained" at Harvard and the Mayo Clinic, and it turns out he merely took a class at each. And yet he is making a fortune handing out psychiatric meds to children. After a couple of simple paper tests where the child/teen self diagnoses themselves, he makes mental illness diagnoses and then hands out scripts for psychiatric drugs combined with homeopathic medicines like they're candy. Our whole cocktail included literally 8 psychiatric/homeopathic medicines for a teenager. Then, he strong arms you into doing a "genetic test" with some fly by night operation in Ohio where together they charge a cool $3,000 to you and your insurance company and the results are some simple charts that they claim give some indication of what psych drugs you should take. He cons you into coming back for "therapy" and follow-up visits where he prescribes more and more meds. His whole operation, preying on children and their parents, is reprehensible.

Of additional concern, he operates out of somebody else's office. What sort of premiere psychiatrist doesn't have their own office? If you do a background search, you'll learn he was charged with falsifying voting records.

Take your children and run.
