Patients Reviews

I recently had an appointment with Beth, seeking assistance for possible ADHD. Despite her advertised specialization in ADHD, the consultation didn't meet my expectations. She quickly dismissed my concerns regarding executive function, which was surprising as it's often linked with ADHD and since my prescription for MDD and GAD are working perfectly, I think it's reasonable to consider ADHD being the reason I cannot complete tasks. At the very least, it's enough to access. Instead of exploring my symptoms further, Beth mentioned that Headway doesn't prescribe srimulants for ADHD due to it's nature and a current shortage. This felt unrelated to the need for an assessment. Also, who said anything about stimulants?! Moreover, Beth's suggestion to switch from Wellbutrin, which has been effective for my depression, to Strattera was confusing, especially after indicating a diagnosis of ADHD does not apply to me. The conversation left me feeling unheard and with more questions than answers. While Beth may have expertise in her field, the consultation lacked the depth and care I was promised. It's important for professionals to consider a patient's unique experiences and needs, which was obviously missing in our interaction. When the meeting was over, she quickly disconnected. Typically the patient disconnects. I sensed anger. Perhaps it was because I called her out on Wellbutrin not being a prescription for ADHD but rather being prescribed off-label for it. Again, why mention this if my concern for ADHD was dismissed? I'm not in any sense of the word pleased with my experience. My primary care doctor could have refilled my prescriptions.

I really had to scratch my head after reading other people's experience with Beth Halprin, because my own experience felt like I was in a completely different boat. Here I am, feeling pretty good about how my current meds are keeping my spirits up, but when I brought up my concerns and the idea that maybe there's something more—like undiagnosed ADHD—to look into, it seemed that my words just bounced off. The suggestion to switch up my medication, without considering undiagnosed ADHD, left me puzzled. I've been managing my depression and anxiety quite well, so this left-field advice has me asking, 'What gives? Does she really think that she is doing right by me or is this only a power trip to her? She acts nice but it appears to be a facade.

Beth was extremely caring, personable, and made me feel like I was heard. She took time to understand my history and my personal feelings about medications. She was very knowledgable and clear with her plans for addressing my mental health concerns.
