I believe Dr. Roddy saved my life. He understands his meds so well, and is a deep thinker who always gives me a new way to look at things. Fifteen minute med checks with him are more than just med checks. My husband also sees him and really likes him. And he doesn't like doctors :).

I'm am delighted with the care I receive from Dr. Roddy, MD and his front desk assistant, Fiona. I am treated as if I was their child. I really mean that, I feel cared for and communicated with. Their is a level of caring with this clinic which I've not ever received at any other 'big business' mental health clinic. I have suffered from Chronic pervasive depression for over 20 years, and this is the best I've ever felt. Thank you both for your due diligence and excellent care. I appreciate the incredible level of care I receive, very very much.

I have been seeing Doctor Roddy for about ten years, and he always had kind of a mediocre bedside manner and could be short with people, but this was the last straw. He has been my doctor since I was a kid and knows that I am a type 1 diabetic (in fact, I started seeing him for situational depression after the diagnosis). A couple of weeks ago, I had a low blood sugar episode (I should have called myself an ambulance, but I just chugged some OJ and then kind of lost consciousness for about an hour). Anyway, I missed my appointment, but called as soon as I was coherent. I thought that when I explained that it had been a medical emergency, because he is a doctor, he would be understanding. Nope. He billed me $140 for a missed appointment fee (for a 20 minute appointment!!) and then, when I tried to discuss it, he was extremely condescending, rude, and told me "if you don't like it, you don't have to come back." The reason I dealt with his less than delightful personality for so long was because I thought we had developed a good doctor-patient relationship, but I guess I just had never gotten between him and some money before. So as a 10 year patient, I can say, don't go see Doctor Roddy if you want a doctor who is caring, compassionate, or understanding.
Also, his handwriting is so messy, that once a pharmacy gave me Furosemide (Lasix) instead of Fluoxetine and I passed out, so that was cool.
His wife, however is lovely and a joy to talk to.
