Melissa Gad, ARNP

Want to share to help others as she is on a virtual platform (advanced tele psychiatry) and I’m sure is interacting with many patients. I am a provider myself and i would go as far as to say she is dangerous in her approach. Complete lack of eye contact contempt for patient and does not prescribe as appropriate. Antiquated knowledge of mental healthcare. Very suprised she is still practicing

Very rude and demeaning. Talks down to patients and staff. Has zero bedside manner and dismisses anyone else's opinions other than her own.

I would definitely not recommend Ms.Gad. She accused me of being a liar because I refused to take a medication that the emergency room specifically told me not to take and made me feel bad for needing to change my medication that was not working for me and then discharged because she didn't feel *comfortable" doing her job. She has no compassion and I would stay far away from her as far as putting your mental health in her care.

I recently moved from Wisconsin. Ms Gad accused me of abusing a medication. When I pointed out that I was taking that medication as prescribed by my former doctor. To this she replied, "if that is how you want your prescription then go to my old doctor or go back to the state I came from." I went to her for help. She never discussed anyway of helping me only what she wouldn't prescribe. I didn't even ask for anything to be prescribed, she made accusations on what I had been given by another Dctr
