Mental Health Professionals - Gainesville, FL

"I found Dr Burks and the staff at UF Health to be thorough, competent and pleasant in this initial visit."

"Dr. Lori Solomon reported inaccurate information on my PRN evaluation. For example she said that I was discharged from my Christian discipleship program for mental health. They do not have mental health counselors or anything like that there and do not discharge people for mental health. I spoke to the Director and verified that she did not tell Dr. Solomon this. Dr. Solomon reported inaccurate information regarding this . I also reached out to Dr. Solomon‘s office to try to discuss this with her supervisor and they failed to contact me back. She also failed to contact my references including one who is a pastor. Dr. Solomon raised her voice at me during our meeting and told me I do not understand the science behind addiction. She also told me she was a Christian at the beginning of our meeting and so of course I knew she must understand that Jesus can heal people of addiction. Apparently she missed that part of the Bible. She was very harsh with me and recommended an inpatient program which also require detox. The drug test she had given me sure that I had no drugs in my system and that was a Hair follicle test. I had been sober almost 3 years when I met Dr. Solomon. Her attempts to destroy my career did not work and I have since gotten a good evaluation and the evaluator told me after reading her report that he thought maybe she was in recovery based on the way she was in my report. I highly recommend finding another evaluator if you have to have one. There is no compassion or caring and not even treated with truthfulness on my report. Sadly this happened and I don’t want it to happen to anyone else. This is my intention as I’ve been putting this out on many websites to save others from the stress and from being defamed of their character and being stripped of their careers because she has that authority as a PRN evaluator. If you’ve already had her as an evaluator and she deemed you unfit for practice, then please don’t give up. It’s expensive but you can get another one and the one I went to was a lot better the second time."

"Ms. Shubert is a calm and caring presence. She is knowledgeable and professional. She has many years of experience. After she meets with you, she will tell you if she thinks she can help you. If not, she is very good about knowing other providers that she can recommend. She has always helped me to process whatever life is throwing my way. "
