Fitzgerald Thomas M MD

DO NOT GO HERE, especially for a place that treats for mental health issues this is very bad. I was seeing someone that I was lead to believe is a DR. turns out she is a nurse practitioner and should have prescribed me medication under Dr. Fitzgerald. I never once met the man or even know what he looks like for that matter. I was prescribed tons of different medications, and taken off some abruptly and put on different ones. One was prescribed to me for epilepsy which I don’t even have! I was NEVEr weened of any medication, very dangerous resulting in sever withdraws to the point where I was confided to my bed and almost had to be hospitalized. I would go in to my appointment and tell her what I thought I should be on based on TV commercials. When I called on the phone she would never call me back and the receptionist would make her own decisions about your medication. She would say things like «well, don’t take it if it’s bothering you.» She is not qualified to be doing that and the nurse practicer obviously isn’t either without checking in with the Dr. For a depressed person this can be very detrimental, or for someone suffering from other various mental illnesses. I now see Dr. Ross in Charlotte who straightened me out and I no longer have withdraws. She is a REAL Dr. and appalled what this has done to me. I don’t want anyone else to have to deal with this. A report has been submitted so Dr. Fitzgerald and his whole staff can be looked into.
