I saw these reviews when looking up the phone number for Dr. Suholet's office. I'm surprised by the negative ones. I think he's easy & charming. We chat about pet dogs and baseball, nothing creepy about that. \t\n\t\n15 minute med check appointments aren't a substitute for therapy (and aren't supposed to be). He quickly found a combination of meds for anxiety & depression that work well and cause me almost no side effects.

I'm sure that some people have had a good experience with this doctor, and probably some have managed to bond with him, but my experience was consistent with most of the one and two star reviews. \t\n\t\nI found Suholet to be pretty cold, sometimes irritable, and not too keen on me trying to have any discussion about my own treatment plan. He pretty much wanted to tell me how it is and have me take whatever meds he gave me without too much questioning. \t\n\t\nTo be fair, my expectations may have been off-center b/c I didn't realize at the time that psychiatrists don't necessarily see their job description as including talking patients through things. I think he prefers to be a medication manager, period. \t\n\t\nI don't think he's a bad guy, I think the person who said he is good if you know what you need and just need someone to manage the scripts was dead on. He doesn't seem too happy himself and so I don't think he has much patience or finesse to spare for his depressed and unstable patients.

I had an appointment with Dr. Suholet at 9:30 am. This was my first visit ever to this kind of a doctor so I decided to come a bit early thinking I would have plenty of paper work to fill out. I waited in the lobby for about 15 minutes while the receptionist (she was very polite) helped another client. When I got my paper work and began filling it out Dr, Suholet quickly came out and signaled for me to follow him. No hello, or anything. I honestly don't think he knew my name at this point. \t\n He bagan our session by telling me my appointment would be cut short because I was late. After I told him I had been in the lobby waiting for the receptionist to finish he promptly changed the subject. During our session Dr. Suholet's phone consistently kept going off. He was obviously very disconnected and I can't help but wonder if he needs to see someone for himself. I do not feel like he listened to me, or gave me a proper assessment. Our appointment was cut short when he decided it was the end; he practically shoved me out of his office. The moment I walked out, another person walked in.\t\nThe entire experience made me feel like a number, or perhaps a dollar sign. I DO NOT recommend him at all. You are better off talking to a rock. At least the rock will listen more intently, show more compassion, and perhaps know what your name is before they write you a prescription. I am definitely not taking the medication he prescribed.
