I have seen Dr. Erdmann for over 10 years. The first several were very positive. He was innovative in the medications he... chose and I was able to function better than I ever had. At this point however I am choosing to change providers because of his neglectful treatment. In the last 2 months I have emailed him 6 times re: appointments, meds and most recently a negative downturn in my mental status. He has responded to none of the emails. My last email was to inform him that I was seeking treatment elsewhere. more details
He is constantly late, double books leaving you and 1-2 others embarrassingly waiting for the same time slot. His method...s are not modern and his awareness of complementary therapies is nil and he is sarcastic about something as benign and proven to be helpful for mental disease such as meditation and yoga. His knowledge his limited to medications. He is a one man show and can be impossible to reach. His voice mailbox is always full. He answers all his phone calls during your session. He is constantly selling his groups which are revolving doors full of people just there for a prescription and you never see them again. He has poor actual theoretical knowledge of group dynamic and group therapy protocols. It's like an easy way for him to make extra money per hour and double bill people for Rx visit and group session . He is disorganized. He promises to call in a med to CVS and never does. He always does "prior authorizations" wrong and blames either CVS or the insurance carrier. But, when you track it down it's. 90% of the time his fault. He's overbooked. He seems to be in an emotional transition and its getting worse. He has his pluses but Its buyer beware. I would look for someone younger and trained in the statue of the art application of therapy options. He is all about meds only. Remember you are the buyer and never give the doctor all the power and over idealize him. You will be sorry later when progress is slow, you think you are being monitored and your not, and you read about meditation or cognitive therapy and he is snide with you. I think he needs to regroup or get ready to retire. more details
I was misdiagnosed and overmedicated. I was put on such high potent drug and dosages that I was a walking zombie. I was ...put speed to get me up in the morning because I was so sedated. My life was ruined until I sought a second opinion, and got my self away from Dr Erdman. Stay far away if you know whats good for you.. more details
