Dr. Alexa Sara Andewelt, MD

Excellent psychiatrist- would highly recommend!

Anyone with mental health issues, will tell you that it's hard reaching out to a doctor, and telling them that you have trauma. It's huge step, to put yourself out there. Doctor Alexa responding to me in a very unprofessional manner. All she responded to me was "We would not be a good fit." And I felt like I was being written off when I took the time to craft the email to reach out to her to get a quote. It was rushed and lazy. When I did respond back that it would not be a good fit, because I am looking for someone with a better bedside manner. that is when she crafted me the email that she should have wrote in the first place. She should have treated me like an adult treats another, and say that she would have to see me every month. It took her 3 minutes to write the email that she could have crafted. And then I felt gaslight it that the reason why she gave me a rush response, was because she wanted to save my time when looking for a new psychiatrist. I would not… recommend going to any doctor who can't take 3 minutes to respond to your initial request. I think that everybody deserves a little bit more respect than that from a doctor. Especially one that deals with mental health issues. Also I kind of find sketchy that you need to reach out to her for quote. Are some mental illnesses cheaper than others? I thought that doctors have a flat rate for all their patients.

One of the worst things about leaving DC is having to stop seeing Dr. Andewelt.

I have been a patient of Dr. Andewelt for the past 5.5 years. She is wonderful and compassionate, and responds quickly to emails.
