Dr. Lightbody is an excellent psychiatrist and a fine person. He is intelligent, insightful, sensitive and kind. I have seen him for some time and will continue to see him as long as I need to.

I have to say this is one of the best doctors I have ever spoken with. He genuinely listens to you, and then really puts wisdom and experience into each and every response. As well, I felt like I was not being ignored, as I have felt with past doctors. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lightbody to a friend or family member.

I was one of dr. lightbody's patients in 2008 aftr his brother had just died. Instead of turning over his patients to a nonaffected colleague he continued to treat me from a wrong diagnosis and incorrect medications even after I had informed him of previous success with a former doctor. I was set back 2 years by his treatment plan.
