Nadia Simplice, PMHNP-BC

I had a very similar experience to the other reviewer but it was with my 15 year old son as a patient to Nadia. He is autistic and OCD and he was suffering from severe anxiety and depression when we first saw Nadia. He was already on a low dose medication from his neurologist but we needed him to see a psychiatrist to be evaluated and put on the right meds. Nadia just kept him on the same meds and kept increasing it the worse his OCD got and his OCD ended up so bad he was refusing to eat and was unable to sleep-it was the worse case any of his doctors had ever seen. Nadia did not have the knowledge needed to prescribe meds to a child with autism, ocd and extremely high anxiety. I now know that the meds being increased was increasing his anxiety and ocd and he should have been taken off of it immediately after the first symptoms and DEFINITELY not increased! She had no answers and when my son was down to 84 lbs at 5' 7' and staying up for days she kept telling us to baker-act him.

I made an emergency appointment with her because my regular dr was not available and some how she became my provider. 1st appointment she was short and robotic. 2nd appointment I explained the meds were not working & I’m feeling suicidal, and I would like to be reevaluated. She tells me that I’m on a high dosage and they should be working, but she will increase them and see me in a month. I asked to be seen sooner, she said it won’t be necessary. On the 3rd appointment, She asked me how I was doing. I said not too good. She rolls her eyes and tells me: The meds should be working and doesn’t know what to tell me other than to go to the E.R. I ask her what good would that do if they are only going to refer me to a psychiatrist. That I would like a reevaluation and my meds changed. She starts frantically yelling at me that I don’t let her talk. ??? I ask her if she thinks that she’s talking to her mentally ill patient in a professional manner. She told me to find another dr and hung up
