Dr. Linda Zamvil, MD

My child, who has an extensive complex trauma history, was sent to our local emergency room by Dr Zamvil after he would 'not contract for safety'. This is an antiquated practice; it's not done any more because people lie. My child was so traumatized by the actions of this provider that he has developed major separation anxiety and she has significantly diminished his quality of life. Do not send your child to this provider under any circumstances. She should have retired a long time ago.

Abrasive and judgmental from the minute I stepped into her office. Interrogated me about why I was nervous (as someone with anxiety) being there. Thought I was a trans woman despite clarifying multiple times that I am a trans man -- misgendered me repeatedly and asked if I 'became trans because of [my] trauma.' Awful experience, cancelled my follow up appointment as I dreaded seeing her again.

I regret ever meeting Dr. Zamvil. Rude, arrogant, reckless with her patients lives. Very long story short, she left me suicidal after "treatment" which left me only the option of having electric convulsive therapy (shock therapy). I moved to the area stable on antidepressants. I saw her only to continue my current treatment. She diagnosed me bipolar simply by my completing a short questionnaire. I stupidly trusted and she changed my medications gradually taking me off antidepressants which led me on a year and a half nightmare of mood instability, debilitating depression and suicidal thoughts. I ended up having 11 ECT treatments which left me feeling like I was losing my mind and with memory problems. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to "Dr" Zamvil.

I feel horrible after meeting with Dr Zamvil. She doesn’t take the time to get to know me as an individual and she knows nothing about my life. She is very demanding judgmental and critical and rushes right through appointments and doesn’t give me enough time to explain my life and as an individual to her. Definitely the worst health care professional of all time and I don’t recommend anyone to go see her.

I left Dr. Zamvil’s office feeling horrible about myself, after a session of being judged and criticized by a stranger who knew nothing about my life, and didn’t seem to try to actually get to know me as an individual. The most horrible experience I’ve ever had with a healthcare professional.
