I second everything Derek said in his five star review - Dr. Gaby saved my life. She listened closely to my unique situation and gave amazing insight and treatment. She has guided me throughout my complicated health situations and been great with communication. I feel lucky she was recommended to me by my therapist, she has been excellent.
She was extremely rude, outright unkind and demanding from the 2nd consultation. Her diagnoses was incorrect and when questioning it she became belligerent. I truly believe she has little understanding of the medication, and their consequences, she delivers. I would wish nobody the harm she caused.
The people leaving reviews here I feel are harsh, incomplete, and rude to say the least. Lynne Gaby helped save my LIFE. It was not clear at the time, considering I was suffering from paralyzing anxiety. For such a complex case as myself, she was prompt, knowledgeable, and educated. Now in school, with my life turned around, and studying along her path I can see that she helped me with every inch of knowledge she acquired during her studies, and experience in the field. She is a Good person, doing Good work. I admit she can be direct at times, and to the small few who take this the wrong way, let me clarify why i believe that to be so. Experience, Education, and the COURAGE to make a decision when it is apparent. Why persecute someone who is good at their job? In short. Dr. Lynne M. Gaby was an ALLY and an ASSET in guiding me on my journey. Without her, I might still be lost. Some can see the train coming at you through the fog, let them do Good work. learn to have faith on your path, it is necessary. Note to reader: These are my sincere thoughts and beliefs based on my experience while being a client. IMAGE COPYRIGHT 2022 DEREK MURRAY
In the first 10 minutes of meeting her she diagnosed me because I was trying to tell her about a horrific event and she became angry and refused to listen so she made a diagnosis to make me leave. All because I was persistent about trying to inform her. Visits after that if I tried to speak immediately she felt threatening saying that I was having an episode for a disorder that I didn't have. She has major temper issues and I felt like I was walking on eggshells and felt more damaged after every visit with her. Rude and condescending. Spoke over me and told me I was wrong before I got through half of any sentence. Toxic and I was fearful for a long time that she would retaliate in a petty manner.
Waste of $ and time+ harsh driving conditions and then parking, hooooo. I don't think will go to her for follow up visits, she was recommended by my therapist.
