[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, state your name if you can, so we can all  discuss you. Listen, this anonymous forum, I get that, however to ask opinions, not about a company, like McDonalds, but an individual can be damaging. You ask people what they think, and you will get some negative feedback, probably.   It's not fair to state someone's name on one bad experience, where thousands read it. You could deter people from going there. Op, let's talk about you, I'm sure you wouldn't like that.

I'm the PP who gave Winkler a bad review.  The OP's health is more important than his access to a new patient.  He has many wealthy, high-paying patients and is not going to suffer one bad review.  He was also very gracious when I announced my intention to switch doctors, at which time I told him the reasons why.

My problems with Winkler included: (1) his failng to make what I later learned was a rather obvious diagnosis, treatable with one commonly-known drug, for over a year; (2) his providing no input regarding what actions I should take in two toxic relationships, rather focusing on an analysis of the two toxic people and what made them tick; and (3) putting me in a situation with one medication that had severe and lasting side effects that emerged slowly and that he should have caught earlier, and that were devastating to me for about a year. In latter case of item 2, I attribute it to his background, which is more old-fashioned and Freudian.  IMHO, people are better off with a psychopharmacologist paired with a good cognitive-behavioral person to help change the coping mechanisms that result from whatever psychological/psychiatric problems you're experiencing.

OP can feel free to choose Winkler and factor my anonymity into  her assessment of my criticism.  But she is already feeling that something's wrong.  Without trust, these doctor-patient relationships don't work.
