Bridgeport Behavioral Health

Negative Stars!!!!!!!!!!!



If you enjoy a detached, emotionless, medication monitor, this gal is for YOU!



In my first half hour visit, she prescribed a medication that had a severe interaction with one of the meds that I was already taking, even though she had been given a list of my current medications, this put my health in jeopardy! My MD had to call her to point out her mistake!



Since my illness has involved being away from work, the FMLA & Short Term disability people required paperwork periodically, she will charge extra for doing this paperwork and, depending on the insurance company you have, it may not be accepted as she is NOT a Psychiatrist.



The RN in charge of my case was told that Dr. Tanner charged separately for any phone calls or paperwork.



This woman does not have an ounce of compassion in her whole body!! And, although she was late for every one of the four appointments that I had with her, there was never a 'sorry' or a 'thanks' and, you had better NOT be late for your appointment.



They are also pushing a multi-level marketing product in the waiting room which in my opinion, is a conflict of interest!



Our community has a shortage of Psychiatrists for sure but, keep looking for your own sake! This Ice Queen should NOT be in mental health at all! She has the personality of a rattlesnake!

Do not go to Bridgeport Behavioral Health! Despite the impersonal and unprofessional staff (which includes Dr. Tanner) I took my child there because all of the other referrals I was given were booked for more than a month out. That should have been my first clue, but my child needed to be seen as soon as possible. Because Dr. Tanner did find a medication that proved helpful to my child, we continued to go there despite substandard service in all other regards. Then, just a few weeks after Dr. Tanner did a routine checkup with my child, I called and asked if Dr. Tanner could simply send in a new prescription without us having to drive all the way out to the clinic (a 45 minute drive both ways) and avoid the $35 copay since we had just been there a few weeks ago. I was told that Dr. Tanner would call me back. Instead she sent a nasty letter saying that since I was "disgruntled with her services..." she would be "resigning" as my child's provider. My husband and I were floored because at no point had we conveyed that, we were simply asking if a prescription could be called in! In light of how quick Dr. Tanner is to simply throw away clients without even speaking to them first, I would not recommend anyone give of their time and money to her establishment.
