Notable Quotes About Dr. Shipko, AKA Sigmund Fraud:

"Defendant's [Richard Williams] mental expert, Dr. Stuart Shipko...formed his opinions in this [murder] case by reading police reports, reports by defendant's psychiatrist and Dr. Roeder, a pyschologist, and by reading a transcript of defendant's initial trial testimony, but he never met defendant."
California Appellate Court, 3rd District, Nevada County, CA on People v. Williams

 "He [Shipko] had never completed a training program in forensic psychiatry and had no expertise in that area."
 — California Appellate Court, 2nd District, Div. Six on People v. Shellhouse
   
"He [Shipko] certainly wasn't qualified to render an opinion in a criminal case and he was pretty up front about that. He admitted that he has no experience whatsoever prior to this case in forensic psychiatry. He had never evaluated a criminal with regard to his mental state. He admitted that is a very specialized area of psychiatry...."
Deputy District Attorney, Ventura County, CA on People v. Shellhouse

“He [Shipko] described four mechanisms that can be caused by Paxil that equate to unconsciousness: Akathesia, or extreme restlessness, emotional blunting, delirium, and a serious sleep disorder. …On cross examination, Dr. Shipko conceded that goal-directed actions, such as searching on the internet for weapons, modifying the nails and drafting the suicide note, and clear subsequent memory, were inconsistent with delirium. …He conceded that defendant had received written materials on the ‘Paxil withdrawl’ defense before he was seen by Dr. Roeder. And Dr. Shipko admitted he could not diagnose a patient without seeing him.
California Appellate Court, 3rd District, Nevada County, CA on People v. Williams

"And when individuals commit particularly violent crimes, they generally do not have a recall of doing that."
Dr. Stuart Shipko testifying on behalf of convicted murderer Simon F. Ranteesi in People v. Ranteesi

This man is a QUACK! Beware, he takes his money up front before he even talks to you and you can be at a disadvantage because he may not even have intention of treating your problem. …Then he told me that he does not know what to do with my case, and that to call him back the next day so he can think about it and for him to check on me. When I called him back and describe to him how the medication does not work, he was very impatient on the phone. …A week or so later, I ended up at the hospital. But he said that there is nothing wrong with me.
Ann from Ripoff Report

My experience was by far the worst experience I have ever had with any physician. He was very insensitive; he did not finish listening to my story, he made an abrupt diagnosis, and sent me off without any follow up. He was very unprofessional, using vulgar language, was condescending, and was not attentive to my specific needs. He seemed, instead, to follow a very specific agenda. I left the office feeling worse than I had ever. I was lucky to later meet a different psychiatrist who helped me with my condition and guided me to regain my life back.”
Darin from Ripoff Report

Incompetent & useless…”
Teri L from Yelp

“I've never walked away from a psych session feeling like I needed therapy for my therapy. What a waste of time, money, and emotional investment. It takes a lot to admit you have an issue and to seek help for it, and he is definitely not one of those doctors who will value you as a patient or even a human being.
— Van H. from Yelp, Vitals and HealthGrades

“I have been wanting to see Dr. Shipko for some time when I finally talked to him he said he was not interested in my case and I wasn't the right fit. I get it but I was willing to start different meds but he said, ‘Well good luck!’ I’m not a trial an error type of doctor, and I'm not interested. I do appreciate his honestly but to be honest, very heart breaking because it was hurtful to hear I am not interested in your case.
Isabel G. from Yelp

He did not seem to listen to or care about why I might need medication. He was against the idea seemingly before he even heard my medical and personal history. Long story short, he is biased against psychiatric medications. If you need or want medication management, absolutely do not see Shipko.
Jessica R from Vitals

Terrible experience. Not recommend this doctor at all. Very rude and insensitive.
Anonymous from Vitals

Horrible. He has NO clue whatsoever re: what to actually do/say/think re: patient w/ severe depression. He told me (1) I knew more about MH resources than he did, (2) mental health is all messed up, and (3) go to a movie, This... for deep depression. He's bad. When I saw he has a blog on ‘Mad in America,’ I commented on there just how atrocious he was. Today, someone posted [as] ‘Linus’ verifying my conclusion -he touts himself as a forensic psychiatrist, but his lack of training clearly showed...

“My experience with Dr. Shipko was very negative. I felt he was extremely insensitive and follows an agenda (avoids prescription of medication at all costs) in his diagnoses. I also felt he was very rude in his communication style. I could list other reasons as to why my visit remains a bad memory, but I will just suggest to do yourself a favor and avoid his treatment.
