John is both a superb clinician - one of the top researchers in medical solutions for depression and anxiety in the country and hands down, the finest and most empathetic and compassionate therapists I've ever known. There aren't enough stars in the sky to rate John's excellence.

after 8 doctors and wrong diagnosis, and suffering for over 20 years - Dr Z immediately recognized my diagnosis and was interested in ME as a person. It was possibly my last chance, traveled far and waited but he saved my life and remain well 2 years later. THANK YOU

I was nervous about seeing a pychiatrist but he made me feel comfortable. He asked a lot of questions and listened to what I said. I've been very depressed for a while and have talked to a therapist but that didn't help. Dr Zajecka prescribed me Symbalta and I feel so much better now.

I do not know where this quack got his license! He prescribed an SSRI (fluoxetine) with an MAIO (phenelzine) and a SNRI based anagelsic (tapentadol) to one of my patients. Clearly, I admitted the patient to the ER for the treatment of serotonin syndrome due to myoclonus, hallucinations, and tachycardia. A few milligrams of any of these medications and the patient would have been in a coma. Avoid! Over prescriber. This is my psychiatrists are dangerous. Stick with your GP (they always know more) and go to a therapist if you have a mood disorder.
