Dr. Robert Bahnsen, MD

Dr. Bahnsen cared for my daughter in the hospital and helped her find a better feeling and more reliable way forward.

This is the worst psychiatrist I’ve met in my entire life. He diagnosed me (incorrectly) with multiple diagnoses BEFORE he met me. It was based off of his residents and what they said. Then when I explained how it was wrong, refused to take it off my chart and smirked. I could go on and on about all he did but it’s making me angry just thinking about it so I’ll leave it at that.

Dr. Bahnsen spent 3 minutes with me and had no medical history on me or my two TBI'S. Rather than look at video evidence of a traumatic event I had experienced, he said the story was far-fetched saying he did not believe it. He complained he gave me too much of his time already. He complained about being kept waiting by me as well. He made two common misdiagnosis for TBI survivors and prescribed medicine I had refused. He seemed only interested in pushing meds as he looked at his watch. I would not recommend him or his resident doctor to anyone with Brain injuries as he seemed un informed about the condition and did not seem to want to hear about it.

Rude, careless, and with a horrible bedside manner, Dr. Bahnsen misdiagnosed me and showed a glaring lack of knowledge about mental health. His colleagues corrected his mistake, and later apologized for his behavior.
