Dr. Barbara McCann, PHD

Worst medical experience of my life. Waited months, Dr. McCann coldly repeated a technique I had already tried which failed me twice. She kept repeating the technique as if she didn't hear me. My chart notes don't even sound like mine. Another person was present in the online appt and I was not made aware. I was then charged roughly $500 for a useless appt. $189 facility fee for an online appt. UW Sleep medicine has been less than worthless. I sleep even less from the stress of having to deal with the billing dispute and just get the runaround from billing. Of course Dr. McCann clearly making a comfortable living repeating herself in every appt, won't respond. I am now under the care of someone else for sleep issues, which were made worse by Dr. McCann.

Dr McCann has a friendly, polite nature but soon demonstrated a lack of curiosity, rigid, inflexible thinking & an inability/unwillingness to accept & process new information that challenges her preconceptions. Asked to justify her conclusions I received no reply beyond her claims being restated. Her reccomended treatment has never worked for me, yet when I asked why she wanted to do it yet again she claimed that it would work this time simply because she was doing it, a mentality that is dangerously close to Magical Thinking. She rejected or simply ignored any justification I offered to correct her & showed no curiosity beyond her her own opinion. Reading the after visit notes she'd included a claim that was an outright fabrication concerning an area of my symptoms that had never even been discussed. Let that sink in, she pulled this out of thin air without asking me about it (which she could have easily done) got it wrong & yet used this upon which to base her treatment decision.
