DON'T EVER HIRE THIS NOT PROFESSIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST

by paula28

I agree with the person who wrote " I was robbed by Borynack, Zachary"He wants only your money. He wants only to charge you fee"

That guy makes you sign a contract that has nothing to do with your insurance. He is rude. He seems that he is the one who needs a psychologists. That guys is not professional. He makes people wait purposely.

He wants to chanrge you any fee aven if you just go for one session. Don't mind the other nice reviews about him. I think he is the one who writes nice things about him. I am telling you this guy is only concerned in how to get your money. Remember, he is desperately for money. He does not even have a recepcionist to answer his phone calls. He is the one who answers the calls. I don't give him even one star. But rate is required I need to give the minimum. Get out of that bad psychologist.

• Cons: He wants only your money. He wants only to charge you fee

Super Psychologist

by jacklemmon5

I have been seeing Dr. Zach for several months now and we have made excellent progress. I have been had depression, anxiety, and relationship problems for most of my life. Dr. Zach takes the time to listen to your problems and tries to understand them your way first, which really allowed me to open up and talk. My whole perception of life has changed and I am doing fantastic now. If you need a psychologist who really cares and knows what he is doing, this is the one for you.

BTW, I've never had any money issues even arise in our session. He collects his fees and even goes out of his way to file claims. I have been very regular to therapy, but he has made exception for me when I had a semi-emergency and did not charge me anything extra. I would be very reluctant to believe the reviews that say otherwise (They could be the same person trying to give Dr. Zach a bad name, but you know how that goes).

• Pros: Very caring, compassionate, understanding
• Cons: None

I was robbed by Zachary Borynack

by robbedbybornyack

Before I went to Dr. Borynack I had been diagnosed with many different personality disorders by two seperate doctors. I went to Bornyack to get a third opinion. After more than a month of therapie I know more about him than he knows about me such as: he fought throught cancer when he was in the army rangers and they wouldn't let him out of a desk job until he was better, he decides to move to oklahoma with his family even though he really doesn't want to because he wants to "live", he goes to school and meets his wife and has two boys, etc. I DONT CARE! Once we spent a half of a session talking about his front lawn. It sounds like he is the one with post traumatic stress syndrome. Anyways when I tried to finally cancel our appointments 48 hours in advance as agreed, he told me it had to be be 48 business hours and that there would be a $125 fee to cancel and that insurance would not pay for it! I told him that I would go to the appointment so that I could save $100 dollars even though I didn't want to go to his rediculus sessions. I plan on letting him know personally what I think about him and his so called therapy on monday.

• Pros: NONE
• Cons: We talked more about him than me

Critical of Patients and Differing Views

by EllenR

I went to see Zach after relocating to Dallas, ending a 6 year relationship, starting a new career and beginning a new romantic relationship. I was looking for insight and strategy as well as compassion. In my first appointment, I describing the break-up as a realization of a difference in values. Zach proceeded to argue with me about what a value was, pointing to my purse, and asking me if I valued it. When I said yes, he said, "that's a value." Although I respect that Zach values material things, personally I do not find material items to be values. After we argued for a few minutes, we moved on, but I left frustrated and in a worse place than before.

The next week, I decided to keep my 2nd appointment with Zach as my friend had died over the weekend and I was in need to vent and deal with the feelings. In the spirit of second chances, I went in with an open mind. After waiting 20 minutes after the start of my appointment to begin the session, I stated the 3 topics / issues I wanted to work through in that session due to the loss and the complicated feelings around it. Rather, Zach decided to talk about his marriage, how he told his wife he loved her, etc. I checked out, and he eventually circled back around to me. I confronted him and let him know I was frustrated from both sessions and why. He responded with telling me I was rude.

All in all, it was a terrible experience and I would never recommend Zach Borynack's services to anyone.

• Cons: Uncompassion, inconsistent approach, argumentative, late

overcharges and dishonest about fees

by 1kittyface

This shrink is only concerned with making money - he charges outrageous prices and will NOT work with you on your own schedule. I have spent over $1000.00 in fees that were not services rendered.

BUYER (PATIENT) BEWARE!!!!!

Excellent Psychologist

by savvycat

I initially enjoyed my sessions with Dr. Zach, even when I didn't enjoy them, if you know what I mean. He's compassionate and a good listener, he has very helpful information and solutions, and he doesn't seem at all jaded by his profession. But we had a falling out when he insisted I said something I know for a fact I did not say. He insisted he's trained in this and that, etc., and claimed I was trying to redefine my past comments to suit the current issue. But the fact still remains, his alleged quote from me I never would have said. He was simply wrong, and completely unwilling to acknowledge the possibility he was wrong. I understand that some time goes by before he can write his notes from the session, so you'd think he'd allow that he might have been incorrect and not dig in his heels as he did. He claimed he didn't judge, but this alleged quote exposed that he bears some preconceived ideas. I left his practice feeling as though I wasted the money from 6 months of therapy.

• Pros: Snappy Dresser
• Cons: Personally inflexible

Great Psychologist

by jksampson

Again, I have been seeing Zac for over a year and he truly listens to what you are saying. He sets aside his personal values and concentrates on what is important to you. He has helped me overcome my fears, worries, and interpersonal difficulties. I recommend him to anyone. I am not sure why the questionable review above. People come to therapy for many different problems...perhaps Zac was correct in his assessment and this person is simply taking out her frustration and inability to self-examine on him. I don't believe a word of it. Zac is through and doesn't miss the details. He genuinely cares about what he is doing and I have found him to be the best thing I have experienced for this type of service. If you are considering a psychologist for psychotherapy, I highly recommend Zac regardless of your problem.
