Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctor did not listen to my concerns and made me feel as though I was doing something wrong by stating that didn't want to continue with new meds that gave me unacceptable side effects. She didn't listen to me when I explained side effects of the third medication I tried with her in 6 months. I said I wanted to go back on the medication I had been taking for 30 years, successfully. I had only wanted to try a different anti-depressant because of difficulty losing weight but one of the new medications made made hair start to fall out, and the other made me extremely anxious. When I said I wanted to just go back on my original meds, she said I wasn't been scientific and was just being emotional. WHAT? She just kept talking over me and seemed really upset that I wanted to go back on my original meds. She said if I was going to stay on my original meds, I didn't need to see her and could just ask my primary care doctor.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This “doctor” has absolutely no bedside manner. Accused me of lying to her multiple times, always gives the impression that she’d rather be doing ANYTHING else than talking to me. When I had concerns about a medications effectiveness, I was told that my “behaviors are self destructive” and “no pill is going to help with that.” She was also obsessed with my weight, asking what my current weight was multiple times per appointment. And then tried to put me on heavy duty anti psychotics when I complained about depression. Do yourself a favor and find a different provider. This woman should not be dealing with patients.

Rude
She gives the impression that she's upset that she has to talk to anyone. She is rude, speaks over you, not interesting in what you have to say about your loved one, can't wait to get off the phone. She needs another profession. somethings solitaire.

Find someone else, seriously.
If I could give less stars, I would. I saw this doctor for a year and am shocked I didn't try and switch sooner. She barely spent any time during our appointments and when one of my medications gave me weird side effects and caused me to have a great deal of anxiety over it, during one of our sessions she brushed off my concerns, said I "had a phobia" of the side effect, and accused me of using illicit drugs. I have NEVER had a doctor with such poor bedside manner as this. If the doctor doesn't put you off, her office staff certainly will. The staff was horrible with billing, overcharging me for sessions and then claiming our bill was settled, and 6 months later, I get an invoice for another $600! Save yourself time and stress and find a different provider.

My family was in a state of crisis. I had no idea how to address this. We were refered to Dadoyan Behavioral Medical Group by our family physician. Talin Dadoyan managed to repair my daughter's mental health. Talin Dadoyan helped us immensely. What she has done for our family, I could never repay. I Don't have the vocabulary to express my gratitude nor the praise warranted.

I'd like to give her a zero. She's given me a total of 10 minutes by phone since October, even though I'm my son's conservator. She argues with me when I want to point out he's having symptoms and is "too busy" to meet with me even when we have a scheduled face to face meeting I drove 35 miles to be at. In it for the money, not for the care of her patients.

I am a psychotherapist. I called Dr. Dadoyan's office on behalf of a client because she was almost out of medication. The client had told me her last appointment was cancelled last minute; she was told the doctor had gone out of town for a week. I called the doctor's office and left a detailed message with her answering service; the man took down my info carefully. I did not receive a call back in two days, so I called again. The young lady I spoke to seemed very confused. She said they didn't get the message. When I reported the client was almost out of medication, she offered to make her an appointment. I stated that she needed a prescription called in NOW; she could make the appt. herself later. I was told the doctor was gone for two months but the PA could do it. She had to ask ME what the medication was and which pharmacy the client used. Unbelievable. Even if the doctor had a crisis, her staff should have more competent. This behavior is unethical.

Plays mind games with hospitalized patients. Ends a conversation with a patient by walking out of the room abruptly without notice, like a bratty teenager. Not the demeanor of a mental health professional.

Horrible office staff. Idiots. I had to reschedule several times due to illness and surgery, and it was not communicated to me that apparently there’s a set number of times they allow people to reschedule before they refuse to give you more appointments. I think that’s incredibly rude and unprofessional. I always rescheduled ahead of time, Avoid this odious woman and her office.
