This was by far the worst psychiatric treatment experience I’ve ever had. In fact, there is no real treatment offered at this clinic. Instead, the patient here is used as a practice dummy for a rotation of inexperienced interns/residents who, in turn, make all their mistakes on you before graduating and immediately moving on to a more lucrative situation. Then you are assigned to another inexperienced student. Rinse and repeat.Should you be frustrated by this process, don’t expect anyone to treat you as an individual with your own unique treatment needs. You are there to fulfill their needs not the other way around.If by some sad misfortune you do end up here, you have my sympathies. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone, especially not someone who is vulnerable and desperately seeking help for serious mental health challenges. All you will ever be at this clinic is a student project. Your best hope is that you get an “A” student rather than one who squeaks by with a “C.”My advice: go somewhere else if at all possible!
How Emil Achmad is able to practice despite incorrectly stating a patient is unable to feed herself, and thus needs older antipsychotics (IM) like invega which risks ideation, despite showing capacity to decide as risks did not outweigh benefits given no safety concerns, baffles me. The judge had to remind Dr Achmad he was under oath, and had to repeatedly ask at least 2 if not 3x for discharge date. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! How he still has a license is beyond me? How hes still able to practice is also beyond me. He exemplifies how archaic psychiatry is. Theres plenty of newer medications with less detrimental side effects, but has he kept up with the research? Cookie cutter approach. Lack-luster. F for fail. Who passed this guy on his boards?
Working here is the best thing. With my help along with providers and my co workers, we all make sure that the patients needs come first. Plus they have some of the best doctors and nurses here. Some people may have bad experiences here, but what i know, the team that i work with are all here to provide the best service, there is for the patients. With this i give my workplace 5 stars👏👏👏👏👏..
Dr.Emil Achmond should be committed to the psych ward Ive never had a junior Dr over see my care and flip out because a client is more informed on medication and information then he is, maybe he had a bad day or needs a vacation but the man was unprofessional and kept provoking me left and right, Dr Achmond is dangerous and shouldnt be overseeing anyones care, I called the Director who then blamed me which I knew would happen shes the head of this snake if he looks bad shell also look bad, I have the whole situation recorded meanwhile she still tried to justify a doctor speaking to a his patient like I was trash, so I hung up immediately knowing no real outcome would happen, if your seeking help dont go here, they care about getting paid over your care theres plenty of hospital in NYC that will greet you with a smile .
