Deborah Steinbaum Md's Online Review Report Card

I came in after a suicide attempt and she told me to try harder next time so I don't waste her time and the hospital's resources. There were many other horrendous things she said to me but I feel like that about sums up how she treated me

Absolutely wonderful doctor. She is kind and compassionate when warranted. I see a lot of negative reviews but I haven't experienced this with Dr Sheinbaum.

Dr. Sheinbaum brought into focus many of the issues I had been dealing with for years. I was angry at the time, depressed, and once I had time to process what she said, looking back, she was absolutely right. She started me on medication that helped my sleep and anxiety and gave me a referral. It was a turning point for me and I’m grateful.

I really wish I could give her 0/5 stars. She did nothing but belittle me while I was at the hospital. I was going through severe depression and suicidal ideation, she also prescribed me these meds that had not worked in the past for me, i tried my best to explain that they didn’t make me feel good and instead made me feel groggy, and exhausted. Trazadone was the worst medication i have ever been on and that’s the only one that she would give me because she belittled my story and told me that everything had to do with my relationship with my family and that it was all my fault. She is awful would not recommend her to anyone, she wrecked my experience and caused me so much more trauma.

She belittled me and my mom and was horrible to my mom she was rude and said my mother was not suicidal and was taking up time my mom had a stroke and OD previous to that last visit she was in a wheelchair and couldn’t walk well and her leg was horrible she couldn’t use it and it hurt her so bad as she had a horrible blood clot in it this woman made my mom sleep on a metal bench. I’d give her 0 stars if I could

This doctor said to me that it would be good if I was dead because then I would not use the hospitals when I am having a bad day

I really wish I could give her 0/5 stars. She did nothing but belittle me while I was going through a period of severe depression and suicidal ideation.

Guilty of criminal negligence on a mass scale from their time working as a psychiatrist at RJH PES. I am one of many victims.

This is the worst doctor I've ever had to talk to. I was at PES at jubilee after getting in contact with a crisis line the same day my friend had died. After 2 hours of staring at the wall she calls me in, says I "look fine now" and sent me home in my pajamas. The next day I overdosed on my medication and ended up having seizures- being brought to vgh because they didn't know at the time that it was a od. Once they found out I it was my medication they transfered me to 1 south at rjh THANK GOD I SKIPPED PES THIS TIME. If I had been brought back to pes and had to see her face I would have gone home and likely achieved suicide. Who knows how many people have died because she doesn't care about anyone. She's a BULLY, she's a person that clearly NEGLECTS anyone in her car and I have ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA how she has any positive reviews on here. I'm more afraid to go back and see her face than I am of dying

I saw this doc in the Pes emergency psych unit on my fourth admission for suicide and they kept sending me Home 4he came in sat on the window ledge with some nurse and started berating me questioning me why I wanted to kill myself then she asked how would I do it do I have a plan. When the ambulance came to get me they asked and I told them I was going to take a bottle of sleeping pills I had.....I am sure they charted that on my intake .....here I am with dr sheibbaum and she asks me if I am sleeping? I said yes (I have sleeping pills remember I am going to take them to commit suicide)?? Did you even read my intake......she says I dont believe you your not suicidal and she GAVE ME A PRESCRIPTION FOR sleeping pills! They had a taxi waiting outside the door when I went into the meeting room with her obviously decided before we talked I was going home - got home I had the direct line to someone at Patient Quality care and called them and sent an email outlining what happened They called me back and said they spoke with her and she said I wasnt sleeping so she prescribed sleeping pills I tried to get a copy of the ambulance intake sheet and couldnt but this woman is nuts avoid her at all costs
