Dr. Rodolfo A Trivisonno, MD

I would not recommend seeing this doctor. I saw him years ago in my early 20s and he really did a number on me. The first meeting I had with him I told him about my crappy job where I was getting verbally abused. I told him about the boyfriend I had at that time who was mentally and emotionally abusing me, even if I didn’t realize that that’s what it was until later. I was crying out for help. The first thing he asked me after hearing my backstory was about my weight. I’m a bigger girl. Have been for a long time. At that time I had no hang ups about my body. But everything’s I told him came back to my weight and how I look and him wanting me to lose weight. I had an abusive job and an abusive relationship and I was the one to blame. Because skinny girls don’t get abused. This haunted me for many years and really messed me up thinking that I deserved it when bad things happened to me for being fat. Please don’t see this man, especially if you’re a young impressionable woman like I was.

If you are seeking treatment for any sort of mental malady, I urge you to look elsewhere. If you would like the full story of the damage done to me by this “Doctor” over the course of 3 years Dr. T has overmedicated me with benzodiazepines and refused to wean me off of them after prescribing gross amounts for The entire 3 year period. This has resulted in permanent damage to my Gaba receptors, which will now take years to repair. The withdrawal process from these drugs is excruciating and long term, and you will receive no compassion or help getting off of them from this Doctor. I’ve had to find another doctor (who was appalled by the amount of these drugs I had been taking for 3 years) to start the process of weaning me off of them. My advice is to go elsewhere.

I feel so safe in dr.t presence that its effortless being real and open. And 10 months ago, i struggled just to get out of bed, cried everyday all day. Much better now and its nice to be treated as a whole person with professional kindness honesty and compassion. Wish i would have found him sooner.

I have been seeing Dr. Trivisonno for some time now, and I do not know where my mental state would be today without him. My counselor recommended him to me. Dr. Trivisonno is very knowledgeable in his field. I would recommend him very strongly to anyone who needs help dealing with mental illnesses.

I have suffered from depression, off and on, all my life, but Dr. T. was able to guide me to a much more fulfilling life. Dr. T. not only listens, he hears. He has a great command of the pharmacology of psychiatry, including factual knowledge of so-called supplements that are on the market. I am skeptical of all of these due to my own past experiences, but his knowledge of the science that is, and is not, there helped allay my fears. His advice was also helpful for non-pharmacologic treatments for depression. As a physician myself, I was extremely impressed with his practice style and his wealth of knowledge. I can recommend him completely without reservation.

Dr Trivisonno was able in just one session to identify and diagnose my condition that has been haunting me for years. So happy I took this step. Feeling so much better and has turned my life around.

Dr. Trivisonno, in a very short period of time, has helped to change my life for the better & regain more control. He is an avid listener & more knowledgeable than any other doctor I have ever seen. He is very careful when prescribing medicine & has me come in frequently to ensure it is doing the job it was prescribed for. He is patient, kind & I never feel rushed during our visit. I would recommend Dr. Trivisonno to anyone experiencing difficulties coping with life, including friends & family.

DR T is an amazing Psychiatrist, he was able to look through the diagnosis of other doctors and see me. eliminated drugs I didn't need and provided counseling for me to understand the perceptions that were not helping me. he has saved me from myself many times.

Dr. T takes his time discussing your medical and any personal issues that effect your situation. In addition to pharmaceutical medications he has extensive naturopathic knowledge that adds to your overall well-being. You can get an appointment but the phone is never answered personally. Office staff is not overly warm or sensitive. Dr. T will not see you in an emergency; you are always referred to an ER.

Egotistical, poor listening skills

- up-to-date on current developments and treatment options- drug based and alternative medicine approach- direct and passionate

Dr Trivisonno has been by far the best psychiatrist I've seen. He is very focused on overall health, especially environmental. He doesn't rush his appointments, and he really gives good prompting questions to take onto your therapist (which is vital when working on psychiatric problems). I trust his judgment in medications and know that he works with you to tackle the issues and then will start to lower or elminate meds based on how your therapy is going with your separate therapist. I would highly recommend him to anyone who has dealt with issues of depression, anxiety and PTSD.

Dr. T. doesn't waist your time ... or his. He isn't a pill pusher, but he does know a tremendous amount about what meds can (and do) help. He is very insightful, and if you are having a bad day or a crisis, he doesn't cut you off. He is there for you! And he knows what he is doing.
