Dr. Randolph Badler, PHD

I have always greatly appreciated Dr. Badler's approach, not simply sitting back, listening and silently nodding, but, at appropriate times participating in the process with pertinent comments and perspective that always rang true. Very effective and valuable experience overall.

I contacted Dr Badler for a visit a few weeks ago and left him a voicemail explaining that I’d like to see him for some issues. He is in-network for my insurance and my I get free therapy visits through my company’s employee assistance program (EAP). He returned my call but immediately explained that he can’t afford to take on a patient under the the EAP because the contract, which he signed, only pays him $70 per visit. To make a long story short, he is required by his contract to take on EAP patients when he has availability. When I mentioned this to him, he immediately said he is submitting his resignation as a provider from the EAP. I actually did research to get him in touch with the EAP to ask for a raise. Personally I don’t think it’s professional to put your financial issues as a provider on a patient.
