Dr. Tatyana Dubrovsky, MD

I have always heard of doctors like this and thought oh it’s just talk, until I encountered Dubrovsky.
First off,... my second appointment with her was at 1:15 I’m not going to lie, I was late. We got there at 1:30. I called her office to let them know and they said it was fine. Oh, it was fine all right because she had my son and I wait for hours!!! We saw her about 5 o’clock. She had a first time patient in front of us that took hours. My son was very patient and behaved very well considering she diagnosed him with ADHD. The first appointment we had with her she diagnosed my son with ADHD within 5 minutes of seeing him. So I have no idea why it took hours for her to diagnose the first time patient that was in front if me. She diagnosed my son immediately without the Vanderbilt form or any test etc.. just based off of what I said. She immediately wanted to put him on medication on our first visit. Maybe because he’s a mixed race child, I don’t know. I try the alternatives first and do my research before anything. She was very rude and matter of fact. I told her about some alternatives and she said that it’s not going to work and prescription drugs will. My son is 8 when we first saw her!!! Too young for prescriptions. He’s nine now when we came to see her a second time. She doesn’t like a challenge or too many questions you may have about the medications. She told me that the prescriptions do not have any side affects at all. Lies! She does not have a good bed side manner and that’s sad for a children’s doctor. She insulted my son and said he has no creativity at all because he did not color in the lines. She has the children color a paper on the first visit, I guess that’s the way she can tell what the diagnosis is for the first time. My son loves art, he can draw very well and it’s his favorite subject in school. This lady is very scary. Get a second and third opinion. I only came to see her because my son’s school suggested it. Oh and there’s a 3 month wait list to see her. I have no idea why, she’s not good. Make sure you’re on time but from reading the other review that doesn’t matter. If you’re late, make them wait seems to be her motto. I suggest as parents to watch the “ Take Your Pill” documentary on Netflix and do your research on the medications and /or alternatives first, if you choose to give it to your child. more details
