Hello mr. Michael McDowell, I met you several years ago when my son, Robert Wesley Hoffman was in treatment with you in fmy. Do you no longer have ft Myers appts? He has been recommended to see dr. Robert Allen by his former psychiatrist, dr. Fred Schaerf. He is electing to seek counsel and I offered to help pay for treatment as long as he chose to be proactive in seeking help. He does have addiction, anxiety symptoms. I don't expect you to remember him (or me) however, of all the mental health counselors I've observed over the years of family treatment, I remember your guidance, counsel and intuitive skills far surpassing most others who have similar titles and credentials. I also saw you had reviewd a book by one of my favorites, Joseph Campbell, "the Art of Living". My question is: do you offer appts in ft Myers? Do you know of dr. Robert Allen and his manner of treating patients/client? Is there some one you would like to suggest for above referenced condition? Should we elect to re-establish Wesley as a patient of yours, if meds are indicated, are you able to work with a psychiatrist to write prescriptions (only if necessary or elected by patient)? Thank you for your precious time reviewing my questions. I sincerely appreciate your professional guidance. Sincerely!! Beatrice a. Coyne P.s. I reflect often on my short visit with you when Wesley was in treatment. You were so perceptive. I promised myself "someday" I want to be helped by this man. He asks tough questions! Perhaps my day has arrived too! Obviously I am a first class enabler! Perhaps you could assemble a big "no" neon sign for my forehead. Thanks. Bz ...read more

I had my first appointment w/ Dr. Ramirez. He walks up and photographs you without asking. He said his business does that. Just fargen weird and intrusive to me. Never asked me about my educational background was and skipped many common helpful questions and was not given a game plan for therapy. Second appointment, no direction. Weird. No direction! Felt that the therapy was disorganized and not thought out.. it seems like there was no thought put into it. Like it was being whinged. I nolonger go there. ...read more
