Elise D Resnick, DO MPH

I’ve been seeing Dr. Resnick for over 3 years now and I’m very happy with her. In fact, when I had post-​partum depression and was suicidal, she was one of the only doctors who was willing to treat me, and she basically saved my life. I’ve seen her consistently since then, and found her to be an excellent therapist and not at all just about medication. She only has one office now, so that’s no longer an issue. She did get upset with me a few times when I was very late or missed an appointment without notice, but I don’t see that as a big deal, since I should have been on time and not missed. When she has, at times, related her own personal experiences to me, I have found it to be incredibly helpful. Not every therapist is going to be a good match for you; everyone should look around and find someone you’re on the same page with. I’m glad that I found Dr. Resnick.

i don’t want to be too detailed in my review since i don’t want her to find out who i am and call me and scream at me (i would not put it past her), but simply put, this woman should NOT be helping anyone with any type of psychological problems whatsoever, because it is CLEAR she has many of her own. she’s so full of herself because she’s a doctor, but she went to an osteopathic school in west virginia that you can get into with an mcat of 25, and psychiatry is one of the easiest specialties to get into, if not THE easiest. but that’s not why i don’t respect her — it’s because she shows no respect to others. she has no self control whatsoever over her emotions, which is a horrible quality for a psychiatrist to have.

I’m giving her 2 stars only for the reason that she helped me get off Pristiq which is a horrible drug and she seemed to be one of the few people who has had success with that BUT the other one star reviewers are correct. She’s nuts. She «fired» me after I didn’t come see her for 5 months because I had refills on my rx from before. I don’t really want to spend $ 350 on a 10 minute session for her to write a script if I already have them. And she’s quite aggressive. She even billed my insurance for the 5 minute firing session. I didn’t fight it since I met my deductible but I would feel very bad for someone who really needed help and compassion. Cause you’re NOT going to get it here. If you don’t come every 30 days like clock work so she can charge you and make $$ for her MDR expensive home then you’re going to get the boot. LOL like KJ said, she said «good luck to you». I mean what is that?

I almost feel bad writing a review now. I stopped going to Dr. Resnick over 3 years ago for the same reasons described by many people here. The number one reason was because she had two offices and blamed her clients for getting confused by the incorrect location information listed on the internet. In my experience, one of her offices had the wrong address listed online which she was aware of. I went to the wrong address (as listed online) when I had an appointment at her other office and was running late because I was obviously in the wrong place. When I called her to explain why I was running late she literally YELLED AT ME her assistant had left a message with the right address and because of that I wasn’t working out as a client??? UM WHAT? The other thing that she did that was COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS was to try to show me what she eats for snacks. I was coming to her because I was suffering from an 11 year eating disorder and during my outpatient treatment was required to see a psychiatrist. When I explained my «fear foods» and other issues I had with my meal plan, and how hard it was to stay positive, etc she busted out a bag of almonds and explained to me how she sustained herself during the day on that. It was obvious by the way she described it and by many other indicators that perhaps she too had an eating disorder. I don’t want to speculate and it isn’t really relevant but it was disturbing the way she spoke to me about it. And lastly, Amen, Meghan L… The 0 refills on a 30 day Rx that you cannot go off of??? That was her way of making you come see her for 30 minutes of torture every month to beg for the medicine that you were prescribed. I wouldn’t recommend this doctor to anyone.

I too had a horrible experience with this Dr. after a year of being her patient, blew my mind that she could be so rude when in need. If you are able to find someone else, please do! Save yourself the time of being disappointed in a Dr.

I had a very negative experience with Dr. Resnick. Here is why:
1. After I had seen her 1 – 2 times, she cut my appointment time in half, to 30 min. without telling me. She never seemed interested in talking to me at all, just refilling my prescription (and that was made to be a torturous experience as well).
2. During my brief appointments with her, I learned more about her problems than mine. Every time I tried to bring something up, she started telling me about something she had gone through. Who’s session was this? She complained quite a bit about the depression she went through when taking care of her parents, among other things. I don’t like to think of how many times she complained about CVS and their poor prescription filling to me.
3. Another thing she did during our appointments which was extremely irritating, and further led away from ever talking about anything that had to do with me was that she was constantly recommending another person, center, etc. that could help me with whatever I had just mentioned. Every time I left her office, I had another business card of hers with another web site, dog psychic, meditation center, listed on the back.
4. Each time she wrote me a script, it had 0 – 1 refills without authorization on it, so I had to constantly try to make appointments with her just to get my script filled. Let me tell you, that created MORE anxiety for me, not less!
5. She is constantly taking off large blocks of time so you can never make an appointment with her.
5. I was really hoping to end the relationship soon, but she went ahead and did it for me without any regard for my health! I called to reschedule a canceled appointment. Her receptionist called me back and said there were no openings, that the doctor was going on leave, and that I’d have to find someone else. Thanks a lot!

I have been a patient of Dr. Resnick’s for more than 4 years and she has been a great doctor for me. She takes the time to see how I am doing each appointment and genuinely cares how my life is going. I would definitely recommend her as a psychiatrist.

after finding her on the internet, as a reccomended dr., specializing in trauma and p.t.s.d., i suggested my daughter call today to make an appt. she was told by martha the intake person, that her earlier prescribed drugs, probably ruined her permanently… but that she would call her back. guess what, she
never did.
my suggestion: avoid these people at all cost… not calling someone, who finally asks for help, back, is a red flag.

I have been her patient for over 2 years and she has helped me so much. I’m surprised at the other reviews on here because she has always been compassionate and professional! I actually appreciate her directness and after 3 years of «talk therapy» with another psychologist and getting no relief, meeting her helped me immensely. She listens but then offers practical advice and makes you accountable for taking an active role in changing your life, instead of just letting you tell your «story.» She also prescribed different antidepressants and at different dosages until we found the right fit. She seems very conscientious and I’m glad I hadn’t seen these reviews because I feel she has helped me change my life!

One phone call for 2 minutes and she thought she knew my whole life.
I’m a Sr Software developer ($ 100k) who goes to the gym everyday. I’m out of debt and have a close relationship with my family. I’m very functional and have a few social issues I’d like to workout.
And she wouldn’t see me.
Resnick is cherry picking her clients obviously and if you get in you probably don’t need to see a shrink in the first place. LOL

I wish that I had read these reviews before seeing Dr. Resnick. I had been a patient of hers for over 4 years. During that time, her behavior on two occasions struck me as unprofessional, but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. During our last (and as it turned out, final) appointment, I questioned her about one of her policies (as it pertained to prescriptions, although I no longer required the medication, but was simply curious). Not only would she not answer me and lied about having someone waiting outside for their appt, but she all but kicked me out of her office and said «good luck to you». I was utterly shocked. She clearly has her own personal issues that she lets creep into her practice. I’m so thankful that I’m in a good place in my life. I can’t imagine the damage she could do to someone who was really in need of guidance and support. Do yourself a favor and don’t see this woman. Really. Don’t.

Not sure where to begin. Is she a psychiatrist or a fortune teller. Reason I ask is that 10 minutes into our first meeting & out of nowhere she closes her eyes & says «I’m getting a vibe that your problem has something to do with sleep». What? Then in response to my lack of concentration and fatigue, she’s sure it’s thyroid. I’ve told her that I was diagnosed hypothyroid years ago & check my blood every 2 months & my numbers are perfect. Now she looks agitated & tells me not to trust endocrinologists because «They only go by the numbers». Wait, so I’m supposed to trust you & what are you basing it off of”? She responds «You need to see someone in integrative medicine». Me: Can you recommend someone”? Her: «I’ve never had any luck with anyone in that field». I then calmly ask if maybe we can just try changing the meds I was previously getting. She responds in a very agitated way «I don’t think this is a good fit». Then I say «You sound angry». She says «I am angry & I think you should leave. I don’t take credit cards».
Quack Quack.

I have never been so mistreated by a doctor in my life. After seeing Dr. Resnick for well over a year she completely blew me off when I simply asked her if it was possible to be seen every 6 months instead of every 3 as my prescription hadn’t changed in a year. By this stage, our appointments had become 10 minute sessions where she hastily reviewed her notes about me (clearly not remembering me), asked me how I was and then wrote the scrip. Instead of simply and calmly explaining to me that she would rather not wait 6 months, she immediately and very rudely told me that if I wanted someone to write me a year’s worth of meds she was sure I could find someone else to do that and then ushered me out of her office without even letting me speak. I should have known then that I should go elsewhere, but having seen her for so long I just figured that I would see her again in 3 months. When I tried to make my appointment 3 months later, she didn’t call me back. When I called back again she called me back to inform me that we were no longer a good match and she wouldn’t see me anymore. When I tried to express my dismay at being blown off by her she hung up on me! I felt like crying. Aren’t I the patient in need psychiatric care? How can she possibly justify her behavior? DO NOT SEE THIS WOMAN!!!
