Reviews of William E. Hapworth M.D. (Psychiatrist)

Evan Coleman

After my last psychiatrist had a medical emergency, I was forced to consult with doctor Hapworth, with whom I had a genuinely terrible time. He was cold, impersonal, dismissive, and spoke in a bored monotone. He expressed doubt when I told him my meds and verified my prescriptions online, and stated that in his estimation of our thirty minute discussion I was not what I had been previously diagnosed (and was currently being medicated) as. He went on to tell me that the medications I'm taking - the result of years of trial and error - were incorrect and inadvisable, and expounded at length about the risks of the two meds I'm on (I knew, thanks); but he also wouldn't offer any alternatives, aside from quitting nicotine (wow, super insightful), until I started coming regularly to him for talk therapy (I already have a capable therapist, which you knew, doc, so hard pass). As much as I'd like to believe that, contrary to common sense, my recent nicotine addiction is the sole progenitor of problems I've had since childhood, I am disgusted and horrified by how unconcerned he was about the prospect of me returning to the miserable, unstable, suicidal state I was in whenever I've gone unmedicated, or have changed medications. I pray that my old psychiatrist recovers, and will not return to Hapworth regardless.

If you're looking to lull yourself to sleep in your life, Dr. Hapworth is probably not your guy. But if you're willing to work to move forward to productivity, progress, and potential, Dr. H is a force that can help you turn your life around. There is no magic bullet in this life, but a guiding hand can help you get up out of the basement. I've had amazing progress with his help.. Can't say enough good about the guy.

Deena and Ivan are amazing people and great at their jobs. They genuinely care and will check in with you if they get worried. Everyone at this office goes out of their way to help you succeed, unlike many other private practices I've been too. Overall, above and beyond!

Dr. Hapworth has been my therapist for a bipolar condition for the long term beginning in the 1980's. He guided me through a successful career in teaching, helped keep my marriage solid, kept me out of the hospital, helped transition me into a second career in art. I have learned well how to deal and remove stressers in life that so often run havoc with mood. As a result the quality of my life with bipolar has been very good. I am no longer on medications except infrequently and as needed. He is direct, can be tough but always shoots for optimum results. STAYS ON THE MESSAGE.

Dr. Hapworth treated me during a very difficult time. No non-sense guy with great intentions, who does not lean on prescriptions just because. Very careful and thoughtful in his treatment, so grateful for my time with him.
