Highland Psychiatric Associates

I was a routine patient seeing Dr. Jain for over 4 yrs and was very happy with her care. She was always patient and took extra time to hear my updates with each appointment. I was suffering from depression and she put me on the smallest dosage of medication which made me much better. Her office people were always very considerate in helping me with insurance papers. I ended up moving across the US to California and weened off the medication easily. It has been 5 yrs since I was her patient but thought she helped me through a terribly difficult time in my life and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a compassionate office and a well educated physician.

(This is mainly based on my experience in Dr. Jain's Private Practice in Hackettstown.) This was THE WORST experience I've ever had with a supposed Medical Professional. I filled out my paperwork and told the Receptionist that I was refused to see Dr. Jain in her other Practice in Sparta, NJ because I'd seen her associate, Dr. Kloupar (another bad one, which I don't reccommend as she's also unprofessional and rude.) BUT the Receptionist at Dr. Jain's Office in Hackettstown specifically told me that the 2 offices weren't in ANY way associated and that these were completely different practices. Then the Receptionist slipped away to where the Doctor was and Dr. Jain came in and told me that she does NOT prescribe Benzos (medications like anax, Ativan, Klonopin, Valium) and that I'm in the wrong place and should go. I could see she was really upset. I then told her that I'm willing to try a different route and want to get off the Xanax I'm currently taking. She then got very irate and said NO! That I should've told the Receptionist I took this medication before making an appointment (like that's MY JOB and like I knew she didn't prescribe these meds.) She then told me to leave in a VERY rude, extremely unprofessional and downright mean way. I was so shocked I just said ok and left. I'm so angry and upset! This is WRONG! All this has done is made my already EXTREME Anxiety problems escalate and again shaken my faith in the Psychiatric Profession (at least here in NJ.) How cruel! And I promise I'm NOT exaggerating! I think she was angry that she wasn't going to get my $225 since her Private Practice DOES NOT take ANY insurance. Anyway I DO NOT AT ALL recommend anyone seeing this highly unprofessional and uncaring person. Unbelievable! And so sad... Also I want to add that the Receptionists in the Sparta Office (Highland Psychiatric Associates) are also rude and unfriendly. The only reason I went to see Dr. Jain in her Private Practice is because I saw Dr. Kloupar in Sparta, NJ (this location) and got nowhere because she was SO closed-minded to SO MANY medications and side effects. She didn't believe me when I said something made my anxiety worse because it wasn't supposed to. She treated me with disrespect and was very rude and cold. So I decided maybe I could see Dr. Jain there. So I called Highland Psychiatric and was curtly told that once you see one Doctor there you can under no cicumstance see another. Also I should mention I DO have insurance! I'm just so desperate for help and tired of waiting 6 weeks for appointments that I was willing to pay even though I can't afford it. And for this I get kicked out of an office by an unfeeling, cruel Doctor. This is absolutely uncalled for! I hope someone out there believes me because I have no reason to lie or embellish. I'm not out to hurt anyone and that's precisely why I'm writing this. So no one else gets hurt like I did.
