On June 18, 2015, I spoke with Dr. Kreisman regarding his care of Nicolle Essman. Kreisman stated he was informed of the complaint filed against Dr. Dowell and was willing to proceed with the interview.
Kreisman stated he only saw Essman as a psychiatric patient four times from January 2015 to June 2015. Kreisman knew she had seen Dowell in March 2015 because he was out of town. Kreisman substantiated the fact that Dowell has never treated pediatric patients; therefore, Essman’s allegations of sexual abuse by Dowell thirty years prior are false.
Kreisman also stated that he saw Essman in his office a couple of days ago and discussed the complaint with her. He stated that Essman thought she saw a psychiatrist when she was a child, however, now believes it may not have been Dr. Dowell. Kreisman also stated that Essman does not take her medication regularly and can be difficult to treat.
I contacted Essman on June 23, 2015, and inquired about her recent appointment with Dr. Kreisman and if they discussed the complaint against Dowell. Essman stated they discussed the complaint briefly, and she still believes it was Dowell who sexually molested her as a
