I would like to start this off by describing briefly my experience that brought me to call Dr. Mary Zoglo in the first place. I had a couple of large setbacks happen within days of each other and that on top of a depression I wasn’t actually aware of sent me into a panic attack. I was frightened to death of everything and had no control. I went to see my DR. and explained to him what was happening and he started me up on something called Lexapro doing 10 mg a day. While at his office I noticed a sign on the door for a Psychologist and got a card from my DR.
This all happened on Monday and again on Thursday and by Saturday I knew I was in trouble. This is where the story really takes on meaning. In the middle of the afternoon I decided to call the number on the card and leave a message so that I could talk with Mary and make an appointment when she called me back. Low and behold she answered the phone and after talking to me for almost 40 minutes she got me settled down and made me an appointment to see her on the next Tuesday. I was absolutely shocked that she actually picked up her phone on her day off. My true belief in this is that if she hadn’t picked up the phone I don’t know if I would have made it through the weekend. I had some serious thoughts of just giving up going on then.
Since that day I have seen Dr. Zoglo several times and I feel with each session I have improved living life day by day and the advice she has given me about how to breathe, calm myself down and cope with this seriously debilitating condition. She has such a smooth voice and a way to make you feel so at ease that the things she tells you during the session sink in and come back to help you when you are away and alone. Mary has opened my eyes to some issues that I have not dealt with in my earlier life that by holding them in and not talking about them caused me to be so depressed. I hope that in the future she can help me work some of those things out to a good cause.
Don’t kid yourself when it comes to depression and attack or “Panic” attacks, they are serious conditions and there are people and medicines that will help you tremendously if you just seek the help you need. I was at the end of my lifeline and I reached out for help professionally and personally and I’m getting through this day by day. I couldn’t have done this without the help of my family and all of the DR’s I’m am seeing. Seek help even if you think it will make you seem weak or unable to help yourself because in the end only YOU can help yourself.
My insurance, which don’t get me wrong is really good has a policy as do most insurance about DR’s out of network. Dr. Mary Zoglo happens to be out of network for me and I was having thoughts to changing to someone in network to save money. But I have decided that it would be more to my benefit to stay with someone I feel comfortable with. Dr. Zoglo, you have helped me in more ways than you know and I appreciate that tremendously. I will continue to see you, maybe not as often, but I don’t feel it is in my best interests to change.
Thank you so very much for being there on that awful Saturday that feels so long ago now…. I would and will be honored to refer you to everyone that I know. Thanks once again.
Happy to be a patient of yours,
Ron
