Dr. Frances Koblenzer, MD

“Dr. Koblenzer was also my first psychiatrist. She was consistently late to appointments, would often would not reply back when I reached out about medical concerns, gave me poor medical instructions which caused me to go into severe withdrawal, and then dropped me as a client because I didn't use "please/thank you" in a single message to her when I was requesting a prescription refill. Highly unprofessional to abandon a client and notify them via text message. Go find a different psychiatrist.”

“Dr. Koblenzer was ok as my first psychiatrist: I last saw her in October of 2023. I had suspicions that I had ADHD which I had told her, but she did not ask much about why or assess if she believed it to be true. I was prescribed ADHD medication right away which was not a good fit for me at all and went off of it because of issues. Overall I didn’t feel like she was picking the best medication fits for me after maybe a year or so and just felt like I wanted to try a new doctor for a new opinion. When I told her this, she was extremely unprofessional and made me feel guilty and embarrassed that I was looking for other care. She made it seem like I betrayed her or “led her on” for looking for a new doctor. She talked to me in an extremely unprofessional tone and as someone struggling with mental health, this was not what I needed to hear at all from a psychiatrist when I was prioritizing my own mental health. This made it hard for me at the time to look for better care because of the mental state I was in. Looking back now with a new psychiatrist that is a great fit for me and in a better place mentally, I felt like I should write this review”
