Intrinsically Biased in favor of management – even if management is not paying her and the individual is. Nevertheless, Dr. Hoyt CAN be very likeable in time.

I have experienced Dr. Hoyt in BOTH of the circumstances of the two prior reviewers – including seeing Dr. Hoyt for years. BOTH prior reviewers very accurately describe Dr. Hoyt’s two (apparently) contradictory sides.

But I DIS-agree with the reviewer who recommended that an individual see Dr. Hoyt for therapy. While I was seeing Dr. Hoyt on an individual therapy basis (and paying with my insurance), I found that Dr. Hoyt was comfortable in sending me off into wild goose chases in behalf of the employer.

For one example, Dr. Hoyt recommended that I see a lawyer who was putting together a class-action lawsuit against the US military for having eliminated soldiers for character disorders! !!! Instead, I applied to the Veteran’s Administration for service-connected disability (without Dr. Hoyt’s help) and my application was overwhelmingly successful.

If an employer forcibly refers a worker to Dr. Hoyt for an “evaluation,” – I recommend that the individual REFUSE to take any psychological tests (i.e. MMPI, etc.) with Dr. Hoyt. Instead, take these with Dr. Richard Lavak Ph.D or Ira Grossman Ph.D. [Dr. Grossman is often called upon for a 2nd opinion to Dr. Hoyt’s evaluations, and the two RARELY agree! Why?]

The test results can then be forwarded to any other professionals. Both Dr. Lavak and Dr. Grossman are: UN-biased, helpful and eminent; while Dr. Hoyt is none of these things.
