Theodore A. Allchin, M.D. (Children's Psychiatrist) rip-off! Malpractice! Elk Grove Village Illinois
Why would a treating psychiatrist of a five-year-old girl choose not to contact a doctor that interviewed the child and believed the child? These are his actual notes taken 10 days after the Rottschafer report was submitted to the court:
PROGRESS NOTE
THERAPIST: THEODORE A. ALLCHIN, M.D.
DATE: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1992
PATIENT: XXXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Ms. XXXXXXX as well as the children's guardian at lidum noted recent events which included XX accusing Mrs. XXXXXXX of sexually abusing the children with a male friend. Mrs. XXXXXXX denies these allegations. A recent court order reinstating the children with Mrs. XXXXXXX.
Today, XXXX acknowledged that she had been back and forth between her parents. When I attempted to discuss with her any of the sexual abuse allegations she told me that she had forgotten what they were about, became agitated and did not wish to discuss them further. In particular, her play around this time revolved in a rather obsessive manner about putting blocks in certain order in a certain fashion.

the Estate of J. M., Deceased,
Plaintiff,
vs
Comprehensive Psychiatric
Services, S.C. and Theodore
A. Allchin, M.D., individually
and as employee/agent of
Comprehensive Psychiatric
Services,
Defendants.
In his psychiatric malpractice lawsuit filed on March 3, 2000, Mr. M claimed that between January 17, 1991 up to November 6, 1992, (the date of his retarded and depressed 26-year-old son's death) Dr. Allchin over prescribed or failed to limit the medications Xanax (alprazolam) and Prozac (fluoxetine) prescribed to him which apparently caused an unintentional overdose while mixing them with copious amounts of alcohol.
This suit was settled for $275,000 on May 30, 2003.

Excerpt from report:
"In sum, I have had a number of victims of child sexual abuse in my thirty years of practice and have testified in Court twice in the past eight months in such cases. There is no doubt in my mind as to the credibility of the reports victim #1 and victim #2 have give me."
