Reviews of Dr. David H. Tiller, MD (Psychiatrist)

Jacqui Ogle

I'm only leaving this review so current OU students with mental health issues have some perspective before going to see this man. Dr. Tiller is someone you have to learn to navigate. He does not hide his opinions very well, and his poorly suppressed reactions could easily be internalized. He means well, and if you find something in common with him like I did, it will be a tolerable relationship. I'm leaving two stars because of this: I have an anxiety disorder and get panic attacks often when my anxiety is bad. For this, I use Xanax. Unfortunately, Dr. Tiller was very vocally opposed to Xanax. He would refill my prescription, but I often left his office feeling guilty for asking. And his opinion left a lasting impression that kept me from reaching out to a new psychiatrist for a prescription when I needed it. I understand skepticism for addictive street drugs. However, I am prescribed one of the lowest dosages, and in no way do I exhibit symptoms of abuse with my prescription. I've gone up to a year on one refill. All of this could have been easily confirmed by him. The job of a psychiatrist is to assess and treat. It can be a two-way conversation, but it should never leave such a negative impression that it keeps someone from reaching out in the future.
