Community Psychiatric Centers / Robert A. Lowenstein MD

Would give negative rating if possible. Walked into the office and made eye contact with one of two people behind the reception glass, who then promptly left my view. No one returned until 5 minutes later when the office phone rang because I called from my cell phone. While I had been waiting I had to resist the urge to leave right then due to the filthy conditions in the waiting room; stains on the carpet, chairs, and walls from years it seemed. No soap in the restroom, due to theft by clients the office staff excused. Dr Lowenstein insisted my son needs behavior training, not behavior therapy. He also insisted my son be on pscothropic medication even though he spent less than 1 minute trying to engage my son who I told him was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD 4 years ago. When we disagreed on a treatment course, Dr Lowenstein told me that he'd write the evaluation for any services I wanted as long as I took it elsewhere to be filled because he didn't want his staff associated with it. I told him I wasted my time and wanted nothing from him, due to his unethical offer and gathered my son and left.
