When I first met Dr. Wellman, I thought she seemed nice and was a soft spoken person. She seems pretty organized and efficient with her practice, but I would NEVER NEVER recommend her to anyone. I was her patient for several months now so I think I can talk about her with certainty. 1) Dr. Wellman is very prescription-happy: What made me feel a bit uneasy about her is that she seems too quick to write prescriptions. On multiple occasions, she gave me new prescriptions to take based on too little information, I think. 2) Dr. Wellman cares only about money: She seems to care about how much you owe her more than anything else. It's definitely more of a "business for profit" for her than trying to help people. She's more into her own best interests than your mental health. For example, she would make you sign a lot of agreements that benefits her (such as how much she charges late fees, xerox fees, etc.), which is fine, but she wouldn't make a copy for you, so you don't have a copy of the agreements for reference. I've been to other similar services and they've always given a copy to me to keep, but not Dr. Wellman - that's why her practice stood out to me. Also, she explained her terms on the agreements to me verbally and I trusted her so signed, but in the end what's on the paper wasn't what she said to me. 3) She doesn't listen to you: She's definitely not the kind of doctor that would work with you. Whatever she says goes, no room or even CHANCE to negotiate at all. No point in telling her your situation b/c she'd say that she has no time for that b/c she has other people to talk to. I am so upset by her that she did me more harm than good, overall. In summary, I would not recommend her at all and she's the MOST uncaring health professional I know. If you choose to see her (good luck), don't forget to ask for copies of papers that she makes you sign so she wouldn't use it to screw you over (and she might charge you for the copies, also!)
