"A few years ago, I was referred to Dr. Walczynski, by a psychiatrist who I loved (who retired), for medication management. When I started seeing her (and since), I was stable on my meds. She was compassionate but somewhat tone-deaf in her suggestions about how I might better my life (re: my sources of emotional pain). I never asked her to (and she never suggested) change my meds, which is fine. She has recently become unreliable for things like medication refills. The last 2 refills in which the Rx needed authorization, I had to make several phone calls to obtain a response from her. Honestly, I think her memory is failing. She's easily in her late 70s, possibly in her 80s. The mechanism for reaching her (the only way is to leave a message with an answering service and then receive a call-back) is inconvenient at best and was hellish while trying to sort out the refill issues. I'm now seeking a different psychiatrist."

"Linda Ross PIetrzak, a Savior Complex narcissist contacted Nada Brzovich without my permission for services I did not ask for. I left two messages with Brzovich who contacted Linda Ross directly regarding content of those messages. The two of them broke confidentiality in a multiple page written exchange of Linda (with no qualifications sharing false information about me) and Nada with no respect for APA Ethics codes 3.05, 3.06, 4.01, 5.02 before even meeting with me. Nada had no off button. She willingly allowed Linda Ross to share information she had no business sharing and Nada responded. Nada should have 1) never contacted Linda Ross directly and 2) not responded to a single statement made by Linda. Trust is fundamental to therapist client relationship and Nada clearly does not understand the importance of that relationship. "

"Is very nice and attentive. I couldn't have found a more helpful person."
