I'm writing only because I read the reviews for Dr Kaegi, and they are obviously phony reviews. Seriously, all those glowing reviews? Kind of sleezy if you ask me. Dr Kaegi has an appalling, prickly bedside manner, spent the entire appointment looking at his computer screen, and on the follow up appointment, didn't have ANY recollection of our previous meeting and discussion. Look at it for what it is-an inexpensive way to get your psych meds, but don't expect ANYTHING like interest, involvement, or engagement. This is a business, period.

He has 55 reviews on his site within 3 months? I call bs. I've seen Dr. Kaegi for maybe 5 years now, so I consider myself an expert. He rarely remembers my information, he asks very few questions, and never any follow-ups, he's pretty uninterested in how I'm feeling- in short, he's a bad therapist. But I only go to him for refills, which he will only give to me 6 months at a time. I'm writing this because after waiting a week for a refill that I needed pretty badly, he called to let me know it had been sent in four days ago and he had just neglected to tell me. I take generic Celexa, and not having my medication for a few days isn't good- with stronger doses of stronger drugs, people commit suicide. I don't take a particularly large dose, so i was relatively okay, but the inconsiderate attitude of Dr. Kaegi just reached a tipping point. Will I still go to him? Probably. But only out of convience, not because he's anything but mediocre

Mediocre at best. Saw him two times, seemed distant and uninterested both times, not remembering who I was the second. I would see him out of convenience if you know what you need, but for anything else, I'd look elsewhere. Also, having 120~ reviews in such a short period of time with really repetitive, terse comments is very suspicious. I hope Zocdoc does something to fix it, as it is really misleading.

Dr. Kaegi continues to be an excellent psychiatrist. This is the second time that I have seen him for treatment of anxiety and ADHD. He was very informative about my options and did not pressure me into trying something; rather, he allowed me to direct my treatment with his guidance. I felt that he was genuinely concerned about how I was feeling. He is very professional and organized. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is seeking psychiatric services.

When I was going through a real hard time and trying to see many doctors, Dr. Kaegi was the only doc I found that could offer me some immediate relief. He trusts and supports my opinions on my own care and has been a reliable doc for me for years. Not to mention it doesn't take months to get an appointment, which can be very difficult when you are going through a crisis. I def recommend Dr. Kaegi, he is a kind man and will help any way he can.

I never felt so unloved in my life! When i went in to see Dr. Kaegi, all he did was ask me a list of questions, mind you not even looking at me AND texting on his phone at the same time. while he was asking me the questions i actually started crying because im that depressed and he showed no remorse. he just wrote me a prescription that i did not pick up and told me as i was walking out the door "I'll call you if your insurance doesn't go through"

He rushed me out his office and didn't really care to here about my past history or other medical issues nor did he ask what medications I was on. He didn't seem to be concerned about what I felt and what I was looking for to get "fixed". When I told him that my insurance didn't cover brand name medication and that I needed generic medications he looked offended. He said he usually doesn't prescribe medications that have a generic kind. So in short I will not be going back to him.
