Alla Iospa, MD

When I called to make my first appointment with this psychopharmacologist, her secretary told me to bring my EKG and blood work, but forgot to tell me to bring my psychiatric and neurological histories, the two most crucial reports necessary for any doctor in mental health to know how to treat my increasingly very-​involved case. And there would have been more than enough time to get them because my appointment wasn’t going to be for over a month. But I didn’t know I needed them. At the end of that appointment, Iospa said I was beyond her capabilities but told me to bring those reports to our final session and she would refer me to someplace more thoroughly equipped. A few days later her office called and told me she no longer wanted to see them. I then left many messages over the next 3 weeks pleading with her to at least speak with the one doctor who knew me best and who had been the only on to have had any success with me, but she ignored all of those messages. And at our 2^nd and last session she gave me a list of clinics that she claimed she had compiled with the help of her esteemed colleagues. The trouble was, it was the exact same list I had found for myself on Google and had already looked into, plus the name of a clinic that only treated barely functioning drug addicts and alcoholics and another clinic for high functioning executives. I called her over the next few days and left repeated messages asking for other referrals as well as asking if she would at least medicate me until I found treatment. And she again ignored all of my calls and, again, never got back to me.
This sorry excuse for a human being is dangerous! I have already told my insurance company not to pay her and will be lodging a complaint about her with the New York State Office of Professional Conduct.
