Dr. Mardjan Foroutan, MD

“Had a horrible experience in her office today in finding out the antidepressant she had prescribed some time ago was exacerbating a pre-existing physical condition. After I got upset about that, she told me I would be discontinued as a patient because I am a now a "liability" to her. Past visits have been mostly unpleasant in that my need to avoid side effects are often all but ignored and when I get anxious and frustrated about that kind of invalidation, she prescribes something sedative to the point I am sleeping and dizzy in my homelife. I wish I'd read these reviews more carefully because now I see this seems to be a pattern with this provider.”

“If I could do negative stars I would! This doctor is the absolute worst. My husband was diagnosed bipolar and saw her for many years which he never cared for her in the first place. Well she deviated from his medication that was working and put him on medication that put him in a manic state making him not only crash out but had also making him think he was crazy. I came to an appointment last week and she put a pill under his mouth not telling him what it was even when he refused to take it. That pill put him to sleep for 15 hours and also crippled him making him look like a geriatric patient. I took him off both these medications and when I brought this up to her she kicked him out of her practice.”

“Took my TEN year old daughter in… After hearing her staff talk negatively about the patient and mother previous to our session was told I myself should have grown out of my ADHD by now, my already on the chubbier side daughter needs to be fed as much cookies cake and ice cream as possible to plump her up, she has “Americans” on the 300+ side come in with excellent lab work so her diet needs to be beefed up, the Oregon trail was brought into the conversation and ended with my daughter and I would have “perished on the trail due to our pettiness”. Also walked out with a 14 day dose of rexulti to start my TEN YEAR OLD on. Which ironically was the same prescription and dosage the much older male before us was prescribed… Won’t be going back.”

“I truly do not understand how this woman is able to have a medical license. She is absolutely the worst doctor I have ever encountered. She is a verbally abusive person, draws conclusions on her own without any facts. She accused my husband and I of being enablers by not making our son get a job and contribute to household expenses. He is a 20 year old intellectually disabled man with a cognitive function of about a 5-8 year old. She never even met him! Then, she prescribed a medication that was entirely too costly, but told us not to worry about it, we can get samples from her. When my husband called to get more samples, they wouldn't return his phone call. She was fully aware that our insurance did not cover that particular medication at all. So she put my husband on a medicine we can't afford, even after I asked her to try something our insurance would cover and then refused to return phone calls for the samples she insisted she would provide to us. SHE let him lapse, without medication, cold turkey, which is exactly what they tell you NOT to do on this medication. We have since switched and found a new doctor. She is cold, callus, verbally abusive, and not actually interested in healing, just medicating.”
