I have been a patient of Dr. Milton for a couple of years now. Not been the greatest of experiences with her, but I am better on my medical protocol.
Many of the things that I have been seeing on these critiques are true. So I won't bother to repeat them.
My biggest issue with her is that her ability in the area of psycho-pharmacology is very low. I asked her about the vivid and scary dreams I started having. I asked if Lamictal had that side effect. She firmly and wholeheartedly stated "no, that is not a side affect". I googled it. Yup. Lucid, vivid scary dreams are a side effect. Posted by hundreds of patients taking that medication. Really Dr. Milton?
I do my own research, I have a friend who is a neuro psychologist who helps me and I tell Dr. Milton which medications I want and what dosage I need to take. I just listen to her boast about how fantastic she thinks she is and just smile and nod my head. She takes my insurance. I have never had a problem with that.
So, until I find someone else that takes insurance I am stuck with her.
Patients need to self advocate with any doctor. I never just follow whatever a DR. tells me without researching it myself first. Especially in the area of Brain Chemistry.
If she is running late I reschedule. I won't wait more than 30 minutes for any doctor. My time is just as valuable, if not more, than theirs.



When she's late, i just reschedule.

Yes, I was completely ignored for a long time!
Were you able to get answers to simple questions from this provider without scheduling an appointment?
Not at all! I had to schedule an appointment for absolutely everything!

All the time! the waiting rooms are always packed and It seems as if they are more concerned about quantity over quality
Does this provider give unbiased advice?
Definitely not! It was obvious they just wanted to make money!

Somewhat. But I mostly felt ignored.

Dr. Milton, at one time, was very insightful into what was going on with me, though she was ALWAYS late. 45 minutes wait was the norm; in fact good. But then things changed and it seemed to be she became very arrogant, acting very unprofessionally, by repeatedly taking personal, non-emergency phone calls during our sessions (making dinner plans, speaking with a gardner!!) and even though I mentioned this was bothersome to me, it didn't stop. When she started cancelling our previously scheduled sessions to go to the Hollywood Bowl, and telling me about it, I stopped seeing her.

Without a doubt, they were the worst psychiatrist I've ever seen. I can't believe they're still practicing. Their staff was not that friendly, and didn't go out of their way to make me feel welcome. I had to wait forever after I arrived for my appointment. When the Dr. came out they proceeded to argue with another patient about money for five minutes. They were running really behind and I was disappointed because it threw off the rest of my day. I would never recommend them to anyone. Once in the appointment she proceeded to eat cookies throughout the entire session, leaving the room periodically to get more. She was not wearing shoes. She did not seem to listen to me at all and repeated things back to me incorrectly that I had said. She gave advice, interrupted me and told me I was wrong. If I had known how terrible it was going to go, I never would have gone in the first place. I didn't feel safe at all under their care. I didn't feel like they had my best interest at heart.
