I liked Dr. K when he showed up to my first appointment. He never showed up to my second booking and I waited for a half hour. When I tried to get in touch over the phone, he texted me a few days later to call him the next evening to reschedule but he never picked up and never returned the call.

This psychiatrist was beyond amazing. He was the first person that truly understood how I was feeling and he had solutions right away! He asked me a lot about my personal life too which made me feel like he cared about me just as much as my diagnosis. I’m so grateful I found this psychiatrist and I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!!

Dr K was kind, understanding, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He renewed my sense of hope. Sometimes that's the best thing you can give someone, who is really really struggling. I am so vey grateful for my first session with him, and I hope that I can continue to stay with him. I am resting my head tonight with authentic hope for better days ahead! ????

Waited an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment time. Didn’t listen nor did he seem to care that I was really struggling with my depression, told me to contact him if the medication wasn’t working and I did yet he never responded. Also sent the wrong medication to be filled. If you’re trying to find the right medication and need a doctor that will listen to you don’t chose this doctor.

We did a video visit. Dr. connected on time. My only negative is that I made the appointment on ZocDoc on 9/29. Received an email telling me the appointment was pending. When I did not receive a confirmation, I called the doctor's office. Voicemail was full. Called again a day or two later and received the same message. It wasn't until the day of the appointment that I received confirmation. While this was very frustrating, I will say that the video visit did go well.

Excellent listener and went to lengths to help
Verified patientVideo visit
He struggled to use the web technology, assumed numerous facts not in existence, used jargon without defining it, and disagreed with me about how much ongoing care I required - presumably to ensure more billable sessions, since he offered no other justification?
