Ilene Philipson Psychologist

DO NOT LET ANYONE REFER YOU TO THIS PERSON!!!!! She was extremely rude. She laughed out loud at some of my answers on her questionnaire. She asked vague questions that had nothing to do with the surgery or how I would cope with it afterwards and then she had the nerve to require an additional visit which was booked out a month later after I was told that this would only require one appt. When I returned for my 2nd visit she spent about 10 minutes with me and then said she would have the report ready in about 1 week but that she sometimes forgets and puts these on the "back burner" because this is not the mainstay of her practice. I had to call this woman and leave messages on her machine every day for 10 days straight well after her week deadline before she finally responded. She then called me and said she never promised me anything and that I was calling her private practice and that she never wanted to hear from me again since she sent the report the day before this call. She slammed the phone down before I could even respond to her grievence. She is totally unprofessional and insensitive to the obese. There are plenty of other professionals in her field that would be able to do a better job.
