"Dr Houghton helped me through some of the worst times of my life. I had depression so bad that at one point I had to be hospitalized to learn how to walk and eat, etc. He helped me through it all, explaining everything to me and my mom. I had several ECT treatments that were only working to help a little bit. He set me up with a Neuro Surgeon for me to get a VNS. He followed my care all the way through the surgery and for a long time after that. I owe my life to this man. He is the best psychiatrist you will ever find."

"I went to see him for depression secondary to grief (widowed 6 months prior). A resident took down the details, asked questions and then Houghton swanned in for about three minutes. He didn't answer questions, he was dismissive, didn't try to understand what I was saying and seemed more interested in impressing the (female) resident with snarky asides. He seems very impressed by himself; I was less so. I left without making the follow-up appointment and or filling the prescription."
