Dr. David Szuster Psychiatry, Flushing NY

Why bother calling for help at all? They say to call for an evaluation and they do telephone sessions. Then I call in desperation and the rude gatekeeper mumbles they don’t take new patients. Don’t tell me to call them tell me not to call. Mental health is a joke here.

If I could give it no stars I would.this place is a joke.when it came time to do paperwork or even take medication they never listened.they never checked up on me while taking the meds and they didnt even try to help me understand what I was being given. I dont know how the receptionists there even have a job because they literally do nothing, one of them barely understands me half the time and the other woman picks up the phone like she's just woken up from a nap.it was the worst experience of my life and if you actually deal with suicudal ideation.dont even come here because they'll turn it into a reality.

I’m literally sitting in the office and waiting. For what? I have NO IDEA. I have spent the last hour filling out paperwork, meeting with the PA.and waiting. The doctor has walked past the room I’m sitting in several times, always on the phone or laughing with the nurses. I’m being completely ignored and even asked if the wait is going to be much longer. The receptionist told me to go pay the meter, because I’m going to be waiting awhile. When I finally met with the doctor, he was incredibly dismissive of my needs and outright told me he wanted to talk to my other care provider (of 4 years) relative to medication he didn’t think I should be on- based on his 9 minutes spent with me. I went to get pre surgical clearance and he wanted to schedule further sessions to charge insurance before he would give me clearance. I would avoid this doctor at all costs.

My mother and I told him about the problem all he said was I need “A” vocational training. He’s very biased doesn’t care what’s you said. I went too him twice never again. Finished

WORST RECEPTIONIST EVER! Last week I called to make an appointment and she put me on a ten minute hold just to verify my insurance. After that she proceeded to tell me that the system was down and would give me a call back. A day passed and she never called back so I called the office several times but nobody answered. Today when I finally got a hold of her she was very rude, and told me that I had to wait 2-3 months to see the Doctor. Is this a joke? Now I have to wait to see the Doctor 3 months because of her stupid mistake of not calling me back. So unprofessional.
