Dr. A took the time to listen to my concerns and discussed all the options he was recommending and why he recommended them. Most of the reviews are consistent with what my experience was like. He had a long waiting list, but I am glad I waited to see him.

Dr. A is very helpful. He is not the kind of doctor that will overmedicate you like a lot of other psychiatrists. He is honest and upfront about what he can and what he cannot help you with. none of my meds were working and part of the problem is that I kept going to a lot of different psychiatrists who would just change my meds one after another. Dr. A was very clear about the impact that my drug use was having on the medications I was taking and why nothing seemed to work. He did not change all of my medications and tell me that this medication or that medication was going to work. I eventually got sober and he was the only doctor I saw that actually took the time to explain to me what my diagnosis was and why nothing seemed to work. To make a long story short, I am now sober and off all my meds and I am doing better than I have been in a long time without meds. If you are looking for a doctor who is informative, understanding, caring and honest, Dr. A will be a great choice.
