Teresa Brothers, Psychiatrist — Local services in San Antonio

Dr. Brothers was very rude. She dropped my wife as her patient just because she wanted to try a different medication and because she didn't agree with my wife's opinion that the medication was causing side effects. Now, my wife has been diagnosed with bipolar and takes medication prescribed by this doctor. Dr. Brothers literally said "If you think the medication is causing all those side effects, stop taking them and make an appointment with someone else.". We were very shocked with how unprofessional she was. She even times her visits to only 35 minutes per patient. We were only at 25 minutes and she was already saying that we've hit our limit. She's always late to every appointment. Talks too much and doesn't listen. Interrupts and raises her voice.

I will not be following up with this and I will be filing a complaint through...

Dr. Brothers was short and rude with a condescending tone and attitude. She cut me off in the middle of my answers for questions she asked and would then ask more questions that would’ve been answered if she listened the first time instead of interrupting me. Her only solution was to prescribe medication, even though I explained that I do not want to take medication and was looking for techniques or lifestyle changes to help my concerns. Overall...
