It's not often one finds a psychiatrist with the level of compassion, skill and affinity for his profession as Dr. Sheridan. I can't say enough good things about the way he treated me and the quality of care. This is one of the "good guys" in the mental health field!

Wow - not sure how to put this - but I am frankly flabergasted. This psychiatrist has great reviews so I call and leave a detailed message about my 29 year old developementally delayed daughter who is suffering from anxiety attacks and I am looking for a MD to treat her. That I would appreciate a call back. NOT one call back. So I call back and then call the number on his recording for his assistant to make an appointment - she said that he probably did not call me back because he does not take the insurance she has.... I told her that I would pay cash and she said he cannot take CASH Paying patients. I asked then why did he not even call me back???? No answer. So left high and dry - I have called 5 other psychiatrists with no retunred call over 5 days ago - so I am now I am on the making additional calling phase. I am totally totally flabergasted. She has such high anxiety that she cannot be left alone and no one will call me back and then Dr. Sheridan does not take cash? WOw
