Sebastian Irene M MD

Today was our first visit with Dr. Sebastian and our family was impressed. I had called on Monday, at the urging of a friend, to see if Dr. Sebastian could see my 2 year old niece who is delayed and possibly autistic. When we were offered a Friday afternoon appointment I was delighted. Though my family lives in Baton Rouge, Metairie is only an hour and 15 minute drive for us and frankly. I do not mind the drive at all. We left in plenty of time and actually got into town early enough to go have a bite and be there in plenty of time for our appointment.
Dr. Sebastian’s office is located on Veteran’s Blvd. close to West End. It sits on the corner of Vets and Papworth. The two story red brick building is older and when you walk in you have the choice of stairs or a very small elevator. If you use the stairs as we did, her office is to the left and down a short hallway — it can be a tad confusing, but the building is not large so there is no danger of not finding it.
We were greeted by her office manager Kathy and welcomed to the office. My sister filled out the usual intake forms and we were back with Dr. Sebastian in less than 15 minutes. My niece Holly and I went back with Kirklyn for the appointment as I am here helping with Kirklyn and more times than not it may be me and Holly bringing her. Dr. Sebastian is a very nice lady and after introducing herself she asked us why we had come to see her. We explained that Kirklyn is very delayed in many of her skills — gross motor skills, oral motor skills, etc. We explained we have been trying all sorts of help for Kirklyn including a naturopath and chiropractic as well as OT, PT and other therapists. We feel Kirklyn may have an overload of metals in her body and are looking for any way to help us rid her of them. She nodded and soon set about asking us a myriad of questions, very in depth and ranging from the usual like «How was your pregnancy» to «What positions doe the baby prefer to sleep in?» «What does she prefer to eat?» And so on. It was really fascinating. She held Kirklyn and checked out her arm and leg muscles, observed her as she passed back and fourth between myself and my niece. Once she was satisfied she had gathered enough information she thanked us and let us know that she would study the results and i a week or so would send us a remedy and instructions for us on how to administer it to Kirklyn. At that time we are to watch her for the next month and come back to discuss the changes and such, Now I realize this is not for everyone. but I am truly fascinated. And I am so hopeful that we will see results with this the way so many families have, I will certainly update my review as we go, but I had to report in and say what a great first experience this was for us. Based on it I would tell anyone else open to homeopathic medicine to give her a call.

I had a very bad experience. I didnt feel that Dr. Sebastian cared about my health nor did she respect my time or money.
Initially She seemed so nice! In the first appointed I told her exactly what I wanted and she was on board. at the end of the appointed… she abruptly got up and opened the door telling me that my time was up .i was atleast hoping for a summery of what we had gone over and got a bit confused about what we were leaving with?
i asked her about it while walking out the door and she told me that i should call with the question I have. It was literally a yes or no answer .she could have answered me right then but she didnt… i thought it was weird that she coudnt say a yes or no but i thought she may be waiting on another appointed (at 4:50 pm) so I left.
Then, I called and called. never got her call me back. I even left msgs with her «assistant» and never got the answer. then Dr. Sebastian left town for 2 weeks. I again called but. never got my answer. …finally after a whole month of beating around the bush .i was told that If i need to get my answer i need to make an appointment! .they finally told me that she would need me to spend money to see her for that ONE question about the topic we had already covered.
when I showed my dissatisfaction, they got nasty. telling me that she didnt approve of my «agenda» and didnt like me interfering with the treatment plan she was trying to give me??? what???
very unprofessional I would not recommend her to anyone!
