Focus Lee

She is not good therapist. She diagnosised me incorrectly.

I went to Dr. Lomax for 6 months and really wasted time and money! She's very rude and I honestly think she gets kickbacks. She prescribed me copious amounts of Depakote and other medication, which caused me to gain over 30 pounds (took me a full year to finally lose it!) She insisted that I see her every other week and overbilled me several times including a line item for "therapy session". HA! She REFUSED to discuss anything with me and told me that's what a therapist is for. She has very poor manners and successfully put me down every meeting. I always felt very upset after our appointments as she filled me with self doubt and made me question every decision I was making. In fact, I would go to a therapist after my sessions with Dr. Lomax. Scheduling is a huge pain point as you need to call to schedule and she never picks up, causing you to play phone tag. What kind of a psychiatrist doesn't have an email address? The best decision I made was switching to another psychiatrist (Dr. Reddy) felt so much happier and been successfully off meds for over a year!

This is the worst doctor. She was late for every single 8:30am appt I had. Do not waste your time and energy going to see her. The billing department is an absolute joke. Very unprofessional! My bill is $800 after insurance and I simply asked for 2 fees to be waived which would have brought it down to $500 and I would have paid on the spot. The accounting lady (Meg Krantz) said the doctor refused to waive those fees and it was going to go to collections and I would be hearing from an attorney. It’s laughable that they can threaten me or that’s even how they behave as a doctor office. I offered to pay $100 a month payment plan and the office manager (Meg Krantz) said that wasn’t good enough and told me to not bother making it bc she is sending it to collections. Go elsewhere and find someone who truly cares. If I could give less than one star I would do so.

Wish there were negative, below-zero stars. Misdiagnosed and medicated a young teen relative several years ago, then sued that child's clinically depressed, working-class single father for nearly $10,000 that insurance company declined to pay her for purported services during child's hospitalization. She then garnished father's wages and pushed him off the edge of scraping-by into homelessness. He moved into a tent in a national forest, got up and dressed each day and went to his full-time job to support a minor child and an amoral human being whose evident greed and vindictiveness leave no room for compassion and decency in a small, hardened heart.

"Doctor" Lomax is the epitome of a crappy doctor. I saw her numerous times (for lack of better options). I hope the Virginia Board of Medicine looks into her practice (if they haven't already). Firstly, she seems unable to keep track of anything. She never had any idea what medications I was on, or what doses I taking. Or what my symptoms were. The file she kept on me was a collection of unorganized loose leaf papers, kept in a vanilla envelope, which she would rummage through in order to look at my past appointments. I.e., what an academically underachieving 6th grader would do. Secondly, she has no ability to listen. Whenever I would ask for a medication to be changed or a new medication to be tried, the idea would be shot down with a poor explanation (i.e., "if we do that, XYZ will happen... mmmkay?"). Yes... but the side effects are unbearable... (my new psychiatrist has had no problems making the changes I requested, so I was not asking for anything ridiculous). Thirdly, it is obvious she is practicing with a goal of limiting her legal liability, not in providing any sort of care. For example, she would recommend various changes to my dosages to conform to recommended standards, despite me telling her this would cause me problems. Great. I'm now only taking the maximum suggested dose, but have suicidal thoughts every other day! She also kept recommending I look into various health issues, which my primary care physician would quickly dismiss as not being issues at all... Fourthly, she shamelessly goes after your cash. After I began seeing another psychiatrist, I started receiving bills for "prescription refills" at $25 a pop. Mostly on prescriptions which only needed to be refilled because she called in the wrong dosages to start with. Sorry, informing the pharmacist that you called in the wrong dosage comes out of your pocket. Please retire.

Terrible human being that is just in it for money. Was late and unkempt and charged me for appointments i never made. If there were 0 stars i would do that.
