I would like to follow up the review written by: 'Written by a NHS patient at Archway Medical Centre 28th August 2021' I have only just realised this review was written only days before my own appointment, and as for symptoms discussed, how the doctor handled the appointment, and how I felt. The previous review is pretty much exactly the same as my experience. I sent a long e-mail reply to Dr Pizzo about how he didn't listen to me at all, tried to fob me off to some community centres despite my anxiety and depression issues. I felt as if he completely gaslighted me and as if he heard the words but didn't actually listen to me or put together what the words actually meant. Sufficed to say I feel awful, to the point I called back the surgery almost in tears to book a new appointment to do what this appointment should have done with anyone BUT Dr Pizzo, I told the Dr (via e-mail) that he seemed like someone that had never suffered from mental health issues or even KNEW any friends or family with them. I don't really want to leave a review, but this is the only way to make me feel better after the disaster of an appointment (I have never had cause to complain about ANY doctor or health professional for ANY reason at any point during my life). I can only hope the review I referenced and this one will protect vulnerable people from this 'Consultant Psychiatrist', as he will drive people to self-harm and violence if he treats other patients like he treated me and the previous reviewer. He is NOT cut out for face to face mental health work, I seriously doubt he is cut out to be in a caring profession at all.
