Fiona Graham, MD

I went for my first appt and discussed what was going on in my life right now and past issues that I believe need to be worked on. I was put on two similar meds each for a different cause. I did not feel like she was interested in the least bit. Her dog got more attention than I did. That appointment lasted about 30 – 45 min with mainly me talking, no responses from her.
I was put off by the lack of insight she had on any issues I brought up. One of the medications seems to be alleviating some of my issues, so I guess I got lucky. I did not reschedule a third appt nor will I ever. I will be searching for a new psychiatrist ASAP, hopefully one who is willing to keep in touch with my weekly therapist.
She is blatantly judgemental, which you will notice as she talks down to you. I definitely think she is from a different era of the psychiatry field. I believe she would have been a hit when shock therapy was still popular.

Since my first post was removed by Unilocal (When reviewing, please describe your actual experience with a business.) I will provide more details on my one and only appointment with Dr Fiona Graham.
Once I sat down and began talking about things that were issues for me, I quickly realized she was barely taking any notes and just staring at me. I asked if something was wrong, and she just told me to continue. I found her to be very judgemental — for example, when I said that my anxiety was increased because of my money problems, she smirked and kept looking at my watch (which was a gift that I could never afford on my own). She then asked me if I wanted anti depressants. I said that since she and I had only met for 15 minutes, I couldnt really say if that is the right thing for me — and if it is, its too soon to choose a medication. Thats when she said that If I didnt want medication, why am I here?
Thats when the appointment ended and she swiped my card for the visit. If you need a pill refill, she is your gal!

Many years ago, I saw Dr. Graham for several years during a crisis. She was a gifted professional who offered invaluable and life-​changing insight. I returned to her several years ago, not in a crisis but for some «tweaking» and insight about minor issues. During this time, a friend was in a crisis and I recommended Dr. Graham to her. My friend and I had a disagreement, and she read to Dr. Graham emails that I had written. No ethical physician would have allowed two patients who were seeing the same physician to discuss these issues. More egregiously, Dr. Graham offered comments about my emails, another ethical breach. I would have liked to have been able to discuss with Dr. Graham some issues concerning my «friend,» but I assumed no doctor would have permitted one patient to discuss another if both were seeing the same therapist, and s/​he would have been right not to do so. Dr. Graham’s was an unforgivable breach of ethics, I lost my trust in her professionalism, and I eventually left. Every physician should offer absolute patient confidentiality. Dr. Graham clearly crossed a professional and ethical line.

The first one or two times I went, I was pleased. She clearly is just a medication pusher but I didn’t really care. However… there has been gigantic problems with my insurance that are not my fault. We have given them the correct numbers numerous times, called the companies to insure they do cover her, etc, and yet they still tell me it’s my fault and that I need to take care of it. On top of that, when the payments don’t go through they don’t call to tell, so I didn’t find out until weeks or months later when I needed my refills badly. I am trying desperately to find a new psychiatrist as this is too much stress that I cannot handle.
I thought I could get past the fact that she clearly doesn’t care, because I just needed my meds. But nope, this has gone way too far. Stay away. I would rather skip my medications for a week or two (which is really bad) than deal with her and her office worker anymore… that is not okay. Really fits the stereotype of a money hungry doctor who doesn’t care about their patients.

She is nice and clearly has decades of experienced, but I didn’t feel comfortable opening up to her. She works in a home office, and the ‘waiting room’ felt cluttered, dark, and unprofessional. She also can’t hear very well, and I had to repeat myself a lot. I won’t be going back.

And the search goes on and on…
Fiona Graham, MD is affiliated with Stony Lodge Hospital. After a long haul hour and half commute to be served for twenty minutes of managed care treatment which the woman spent most the my session time punching away at the keyboard in front the computer while I spilled whatever is on my mind. The woman never gave me her undivided full attention as it was a one-​way only in the communication traffic.
Has the whole medical professionals moral ethics declined with no communication, texting on the phone, punching to no end at the keyboard of a computer? Healthcare in U.S.A. is an utter embarrassment to the world!
