The visit was very good , Dr. Thomas was very thorough with her questions , and we spoke a lot about my feelings . She gave me the appointment right away when I told her about my anxiety and how I was feeling. I would definitely recommend her. I am seeing her again in 2 weeks.

Dr Thomas is a very compassionate professional who allows the patient more than enough time to express their needs and concerns. She goes out of her way to ensure that all of your needs are met at each office visit.
Verified patient
She would always forget the reason I would go or my story I shared with her. She showed little to no interest and would just throw different medications at me like a test. I have never gone back since.
Excellent Dx that completely suited the symptoms. She explained choices that I had, and went over pros/cons of each one. Was delighted that she was able to schedule follow up appointments at times that worked for me
Dr Thomas sat behind a computer during the appointment. She used the keyboard while we were talking. Perhaps she was taking notes, but it was distracting. I also waited 35 minutes.
Dr. Thomas is a very competent and kind Dr. I was wrongly medicated for years by other Psychiatrists. She has managed to get my meds right in a short period of time. I finally feel balanced and am living my best life. Thank you Dr. Thomas. I am so grateful. ?
Honest
Verified patient
Awesome provider. She is very busy though and usually booked far out in advance for appointments. It is difficult to get your meds refilled if you can’t book an appointment.
Awful experience. She told me my appointment is at 5.30pm even if I called her twice before to confirm and my app reminded me that it was for 5pm. No eye contacts! She was typing and yawning all the time. Took twice phone calls while I was speaking. Once from her husband!! I couldn't understand her. She didn't speak clearly and was annoyed when I asked her to repeat. The office is old, dirty and not welcoming at all. Twice I thought about just getting up and leave during the session. When I refused to take the medication she was suggesting, she mentioned people from 3rd world are not open for medications!!! I lived my whole life in Germany. 3rd world? This was waste of my time and energy and I was super frustrated and disappointed about choosing her. I don't know why all the good reviews.
Dr. Thomas is a good listener
Dr Thomas was very pleasant and understanding.
Based on my first/initial visit, Dr. Thomas is very thorough in her evaluation. Dr. Thomas asks a lot of questions, especially with your past, to get a better understanding of you as a complete person. I appreciate this because, unlike many doctors, she takes the time to listen and understand you. Dr. Thomas seems like a very nice and caring doctor, which is something I felt by the level of care I received from my first visit. The only downsides I have is that Dr. Thomas could be a little difficult to understand at times and may be a little outdated in medication dosages for adults. Other than that, she seems pretty sharp. Time will tell!
She is a very pleasant person, very professional and she made me feel really relaxed. The environment was really clean and inviting
Very professional yet personal and gentle
Verified patient
She was compassionate, professional, punctual and very knowledgeable. I was VERY happy with my decision to book an appointment with her and plan to continue to see her regularly. I highly recommend Dr. Dianne Thomas.
Verified patient
Very professional, and kind!
Verified patient
Great doctor! Really listened to what I had to say while still asking relevant questions. She didn't push medications, but rather asked me how I wanted to proceed while still guiding me and making sure we addressed my concerns.
She was very thorough and professional. Unlike a psychologist who simply wants to listen and consider cognitive and behavioral solutions, Dr. Thomas is up front and honest from a medical perspective. I think she is an excellent addition to the overall team assisting my child. A medical perspective is so important when cognitive-behavioral options simply not enough. Excellent.
Great Doctor
