Edward Shalts's Online Review Report Card

If you want to see what a narcissistic person looks like, you're in the right place - Dr. Shalts is the best example. On our first 25-minute phone visit, he talked about himself for 20 minutes, then he diagnosed me with bipolar depression (!?), although I turned to him with a slight blues about changes in my life (retirement) and prescribed me a strong medication, from which I stopped sleeping. On the second visit, he decided to put me on prozac and antidepressants, did not pay attention, was rude and did not listen to arguments. I do not recommend this doctor to anybody.

Rude ,condescending, judgemental

Very unprofessional. Assumed that I was Chinese because of my "last name." Tried to debate me about some things and asked me to cite sources. I wasn't interested in debating so I declined.

I asked to be evaluated and he told me no . When he only spoke to me for 2 minutes ? How do you decline a evaluation when you don’t know anything about the person ? He said I according to my history I’m just bipolar and that’s it ? So I can’t be bipolar and have adhd ? How do you know I haven’t been hiding my adhd to prevent being prescribed and I’m just coming out to finally get help regardless of the stigma ? He started going on about being board certified and that “he doesn’t have to take this from me “ when all I said to him was I tried to take the medicine the way he was prescribed and it doesn’t work , he felt like his board certified was in questioning ? Rude condescending

Very unprofessional and rude doctor.

One of the best doctors in the world easy to talk to listens . And is considerate of how you feel and how to help. Verified patient mdemarco

Would give zero stars if I could. Very rude, condescending and unprofessional.

This doctor is horrible. He was great at first, but my condition got worse. At first he provided great care, but after a while he refuses to listen to your input. He makes you feel like garbage. I like to know what I’m putting in my body. It’s like he knows me better than I do, which is utter bs. I told him I was having some side effects with the meds he gave me, and he said it was necessary and even compared me to his other patients. What professional doctor does that? I should be treated as an individual, not compared to other patients. He needs to listen to my concerns, not put them to the side. He is also very rude. I have a tendency to panic and he just makes me feel like it’s unjustified.
