  Ross, Dr. David M

  Psychiatrists usually operate the way the insurance company asks them to.  He spends 10 minutes on medicine management and then he wants to know what else is going on in my life that might affect the condition.  He is very effective at psychotherapy.  He has great bedside manner.  He yells at me if I do not call him.

  Rebecca Siegel MD

  I've found it rewarding and productive.   I should point out that I'm a motivated and thoughtful person who is quite open to this process, and it has felt very much like a partnership, rather than "treatment" - except of course it is solely for my benefit. I was feeling stuck and unhappy with my life when we started and though medication had relived the acute symtoms I wanted to get more active with figuring out what was really stopping me from moving forward.   She is able to provide a safe, judgement free space to talk things out and explore thoughts, feelings, attitudes, reactions.   I do most of the work myself - she has never given me "advice" - but will occaisionally challange something.   The challange may or may not be valid, but either way, the process of responding does help me get a better understanding of my own dynamics within relationships and ways of dealing with myself and others.   This isn't the easiest process to put into words, hopefully that doesn't sound too wacky, because the process is fairly natural and ordinary feeling; the result is that I certainly like myself a lot better than I had before, that I am a lot happier than I was before, and that I feel better equipped to stay that way on my own.

  Celeste Jacque MD

  Dr. Jacque is a very clear thinking and experienced psychiatrist, obviously very familiar with mental health issues, medications, side-effects, etc.  She provides good perspective and advice, very pleasant to deal with, and she is respected by other doctors for her skill in choosing and adjusting doses for meds.  She has not provide any counseling or observations, just relies on people relating how things are going, takes some basic medical readings, and decides if meds need tuning or not.  So far, she has been generally effective for proper and effective medications. Appointments have been brief and scheduled weeks in advance, so availability is downrated a bit.  The office is fine but very small, as is the waiting area, etc. No frills but very cordial and effective.  No experience with her for diagnosing conditions per se nor with counseling, she is often recommended by others who do that for her to focus on adjusting medications, which she does well.

  Gray, Dr. Jennifer

  She is extremely thorough.  She is very smart and very personable.  She shows the patient how much she cares.  The staff is excellent.  My daughter was in pain, and they did all they could to get her in.  They called me and moved her closer to the time.  They are very friendly and very accommodating.  She is more interested in the movement of the joints.  My daughter had an inquiry; but she was excellent.  She was really the one who gave her the relief.  It was a very thorough examination.

  He is a Christian counselor.  He also has another counseling service.  His wife is the receptionist there.  It is a family oriented business.  He is local.  He is very understanding, caring, and compassionate.  I would definitely use his service in the future.

  Yoo, Dr. Sang W

  Dr. Yoo is very observant and insightful, providing constructive criticism and always willing to help. Sometimes during busy hours is backed up, but call before your appointment and the staff will let you know if he is running on time or not.

  Gandler, Dr. David P

  This is the first successful psychiatrist in my 44 years search for a doctor who can give me the right medication. I have extreme sensitivity and reaction to medication, specially those treating psychological difficulties. I just got through a hellish four years reaction to a medication prescribed by another psychiatrist and I was at the end of the rope. The reason Dr.Gandler succeeded with me is he truly listened to what my condition is about, the complexity, the hyper sensitivity.He also considered so many other factors. The first medication did not work, but I did not suffer because he watched the dosage very carefully. He did not get irritated that the medication did not work well, he is ready to try again. He did not judge me, or blame me like some other doctors did. Most important of all, he grasped the over all picture of my life and my problem real quick. He is extremely intelligent. Most doctors just couldn't do it. True caring, compassion, and sharpness is what make this man different from others. His ego did not stand on the way, he seems to be very serious about the patient welfare and well being. His charges are very reasonable and he is meticulous in every area, from billing to patient history. I do not expect doctors to be perfect. I am willing to work with them and try what they recommend, give it time, and lots of observation. I want my doctor to work with me, and care. The road to recovery is long and ardous, I do not expect miracle. Medication even the best is not perfect. Things are finally getting better for me, thanks to this man.
