Almazan Marietta MD

I have never walked out of an appointment before but I did with this terrible doctor. She makes no sense and then berates you when you question her. She barely makes eye contact and interrupts you when you’re speaking. It’s astonishing that someone with such terrible people skills would choose psychiatry.

This woman is not qualified to be a doctor. She so over medicated me, I would fall, pass out and even broke my foot. I saw her for 2 – 3 years and finally fired her ass! The next doctor I went to took me down from about 12 meds to 3 – 4. And he didn’t agree with her diagnosis either. I feel so much better NOT going to her anymore. She is an embarrassment to the profession!

I have had Dr. Almazon as my dr for three years. I have mixed feelings about her. I came to her after leaving an eating disorder treatment center. Dr. Almazon was always nice to see me but she always seemed to hurry through the session, and would always ask the same things every time. I didnt feel comfortable talking to her about stuff. She put me on a lot of meds, she kept changing my meds. She said I was bipolar which i have never been diagnosed with before, and my therapist who has a doctrine in psychology who has been seing me for three years says I am not bipolar for sure and she talks to me way more than Dr, Almazon. She mis diagnosed me. How can she tell when she spends about 10 15 mintutes with me every other month. She put me on 5 meds that really made life diffacult. I trusted her. Then once she told me my mental illness is diffacult to treat when I only had an eating disorder depression and anxiety. I have never been told this by any psychiatrist. It really upset me. She was always nice to me, I dont dis like her, I just dont trust her. The MAs are very nice, especially Sandy. They did help me make payment arrangements to pay off what I owe. I paid out of pocket for her. I found a new psychiatrist. I think I did have a like for her because she is filipino and so am I and she rerminds me of my grandma, but thats the only reason.

My mother has been seeing this woman the last couple years, i have been living out of town so every time i would come back into town i could see that she was getting worse, slurring words kind of blank in the eyes just not herself. i could tell she was very heavily medicated. This «doctor» has been treating her for bi polar disorder which i know my mother does not have. Last week my mother had a session with her which only lasted about 15 minutes and ended with her yelling at my mother to the point that she was in tears. My mom told her she does not want to be on these meds anymore and the Dr. told her she has exhausted all other treatments and her next step was electric shock!!! Are you kidding me !!! Instead of listening to my mom and what she is feeling she suggest electric shock, that is absolutely absurd. This woman is completely out of her mind, she should seriously not be allowed to practice. She just shoves meds down her patients throats and takes their money.

The entire psychiatrists office is an incredible JOKE! They are not even able to schedule an appointment properly. To get them to at least try to do their job, I have been obligated to call more than TEN TIMES. Their assistants are completely incompetent: it takes a minimum of 2 weeks and more than ten calls to get to schedule anything. They are telling you «we will call you back tomorrow» and they have their own personal definition of what tomorrow is. Basically their tomorrow means next week or next month if you let them sleep on their keyboard! This is crazy.
But hey! What would you expect? Unreliable and lousy professional usually gather, don’t you think?
Stay away from them.

Horrible experience. She diagnosed me with bipolar NOS which I was not. Took me off my antidepressants and put me on some crazy meds. Watched myself get worse and worse. Last straw was she yelled at me when I refused to take mood stabilizers that I would get suicidal. I left and never looked back. Found a great psych dr who diagnosed me with PTSD and anxiety, put me back on my antidepressant and I’ve gotten better and more stable. Recently a friend used her services despite my warnings and they committed suicide recently after months of crazy shaking from the meds. Would not recommend her to anyone.

This woman is a nightmare and I would never let anyone I love near her. She comes up with bogus diagnoses without even listening to you, she hurries you through your very expensive appointment, and then she overdoses you with meds. I went to her because I did a search for someone who took my insurance and man was it a horrible experience! She put me on such high doses of meds that I almost got into a car accident and I would stumble and even fall over. This woman should not be allowed to practice psychiatry.
