Dr. Roger L. Freed, MD - Mill Valley, California

Isa Fitzmaurice

Please do not go to this man if you are seeking ADHD treatment. I went to him when I was 18 back in 2019. He misdiagnosed me with some form of bipolar and ADHD. The incredibly high dosage of stimulants he would prescribe would cause bipolar symptoms (irritability, insomnia) and every time I would ask him to explain why he thought I was bipolar he could never give me a clear answer. Stimulants made me feel awful and he would never listen to my complaints or concerns. My mother was unsure about my diagnosis and wanted a neuropsychiatric test done on me to confirm it. This doctor told my mother that I didn’t need to take one because I had him. I left Dr. Freed when he bumped me up to the max dosage of vyvanse. I was basically on prescribed meth. And because I couldn’t sleep he prescribed me Xanax. So I was taking uppers and downers all the time. He did no amphetamine urine tests, so if you want to abuse adderall you can. I ended up doing a neuropsych test through UCLA mental health hospital and I was diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. Absolutely no bipolar. The mental damage was done though. Please don’t go to this man or send your children to him. His prescribing tendencies did immeasurable damage to me. He also charges outrageous amounts for his “service”.
