After my initial consultation, it was extremely difficult to reach anyone about a follow-up appointment. I finally managed one after a lot of hassle, rescheduling, and being ignored. In this appointment, I switched prescriptions and was told I should have the new prescription within 3-4 days. To this day, I have not received it -- despite following up several times in an attempt to track it down. Partially due to the wait, I decided to try the first medication I was prescribed, which I initially had cold feet about. Perhaps I should have waited, but I didn't have the guidance of a psychiatrist that I should have had. I tried one last time to let them know I started the medication and would like guidance -- and that if they couldn't provide it for whatever reason, to let me know. They read the email (I have Streak email tracking) but never responded. So here I am, two weeks into medication with no guidance or means of getting a refill. This is dangerous neglect.

After my initial, expensive consultation, it was extremely difficult to reach anyone about a follow-up appointment. I finally managed one after a lot of hassle, rescheduling, and being ignored. In this appointment, I switched from Lexapro to Adderall and was told I should have the prescription within 3-4 days. To this day, I have not received the prescription -- despite following up several times in an attempt to track it down. Partially due to the wait, I decided to try the Lexapro, which I had cold feet about it. Perhaps I should have waited, but I didn't have the guidance of a psychiatrist that I should have had.

Every time I have a session with doctor Smith, I always leave feeling so much better. He truly gets to the root of my anxiety. He is very easy to talk to and I cannot recommend him higher. Especially for someone who has never seemed therapy.

If you are on the fence about seeking therapy, please try doctor Smith. As a person who has terrible anxiety and depression, I don’t know where I would be without his help. I cannot recommend him enough.

Good doctor, awful office administration. I cannot get my prescription's filled. Sent several emails and called several times, never got a response. No idea why they cannot respond to an email.

We had an appointment with him and he seemed off. We tried to have a follow up appointment and he has completed disappeared after taking our initial large intake fee. We are out a large sum and our child can't get a refill on his medication.

Very professional doctor and highly knowledgeable! I felt comfortable the whole time and I will continue with this doctor going forward.

Doctor Smith, is one of the best providers that a person in NY State will. EVER be able to find! He is a great listener, he is outgoing, he isn't afraid to let you (the patient) know how he feels about any given situations! It is difficult to find any negative qualities, other than he is a little under staffed if you ask me, but he does everything in his power to let us patients know that he puts us EVEN BEFORE HIMSELF! WOW!! 5 STARS !!!!;

Office staff was friendly and got back to me right away. They were professional and walked me through my telehealth visit. Dr. Smith was great. He even went over the appointment time to address any and all of my questions/issues. I would highly recommend clear minds.

The previous comments about Dr. Smith were accurate. He is extremely professional, lay back and is attune to the core of your situation. He take the time to help you navigate through the pitfalls of your thoughts and emotions. Finding a psychiatrist that put a sense of humor and a smile on your face is refreshing. Especially when you are silently battling with the emotional and mental land mines that had exploded in your life. I highly recommend him to everyone. You will not experience any form of disappointment.

Dr Smith again is an amazing physician. he is compassionate he is a great listener. he is very empathetic to my personal needs and takes every individual case very seriously and takes the time necessary to evaluate each situation between each client and manage a very large case load the type of precision that I would expect from a man of his caliber. Harvard postgraduate expert in child and adolescent psychology and he deals with me as an adult. he has been able to isolate issues that I have been wondering and confused about for at least the past 20 years. thank you again Dr Smith for your time and commitment.

guys all you need to know here the primary thing is that if you're coming to Darryl you're coming because you want to find a psychiatrist who genuinely cares someone who's dedicated and easy to talk to someone that you know you can trust and sometimes you're going to have to work out and work through some issues in order to reach that point but once you do I would highly recommend developing a relationship with dr. Smith. clear Minds New York has been one of the most positive influences in my life in recent years literally I wish I had met him 20 years ago. thanks Jonathan w

I HIGHLY recommend no one but Dt. DARRYL SMITH TO anyone of ANY AGE! SO dedicated to his work that I have NOT encountered a Harvard Top-Tier GRAD who has been so open unreceptive while maintaining my stability and his concern for my overall well-being and progress in life. Plus he can treat child/teens/adults! He even is expericied in addiction treatment and that is invaluable to me. Overall, he is like as close to a friend that sn MD can be. he listens and never cuts me off. I score him at THE BEST EVER MD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Almost like family. So easy to talk to and never judges anyone. pure greatness. Thank you, Darryl. 4 being a huge motivator in my life skills!! Sincerely - Jonathan

I’ve been seeing Dr. Smith for about six months and he consistently provides excellent care. He listens carefully and offers solutions without prematurely judging you. He values his patient and has a clear passion to pursue psychiatry. If you’re thinking about seeing a psychiatrist but feeling unsure, then this physician can definitely soften your hesitation. One of the rarest physicians I’ve ever seen.
