Joseph Stote Psychologist Ph.D.

I was impressed with him. He took the time to listen/took notes and also had a good conversation off and on the wall.

I felt that Dr. Stote was cold, clinical and detached from his work. Very little time was spent determining my understanding of the surgery or my ability to handle the stress created by the surgery. The whole process seemed forced and inadequate.

I was less than impressed with this man. I am a reasonable person and he said I was difficult, I think because after driving the traffic in INdy, a 2 hr trip one way, that he asked me to come back as he was unable to finish my interview. It was a stressful drive for someone who is not used to driving in a city and being anxious about all the traffic. so I went back and then went back again to take my MMPI test. I took it and then when I saw the test that was supposed to be mine, had another name on it. I didn't think too much about it, but when I checked the age and date, it didn't correspond. Anyway, he said that I was a mess, needed extensive therapy, etc. I questioned some of the answers that I supposedly gave, as I certainly did not remember most of those things. So, I do not even know if the test that they sent to the second psychologist was even mine, but I took the test again and because of the previous test, the dr must have thought I lied or tried to work the test, as he said it was almost too perfect. I am now trying to get the paperwork on the second test, to compare.
