He is a little bit socially awkward, which is unusual for a psychiatrist. He is however a really nice person.

Dr Paul is without a doubt the best doctor I’ve had in my 39 years of life. He is thorough, extremely knowledgeable, kind, - I sometimes feel like even before I say what I’m going through he already knows and understands. I’m also an avid reader and he has suggested books that I’ve now read and one has changed my life completely for the better! I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a patient of Dr Paul’s

Dr. Paul has helped me so much & I’ve only had a few visits with him most recently. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field & I almost feel like he can read my mind! I finally have hope that the trauma I’ve experienced in my life might start to heal somehow. I feel very positive for the first time in a long time.

Very positive experience with Dr. Paul. His kind affect puts you at ease right away; you can tell that he clearly cares for his patients. Typically I have found initial consults to be very mechanic with doctors ticking through their list of intake questions, but Dr. Paul was different -- he was thorough in his evaluation, asked thoughtful follow up questions, and took the time to really hear the answers. Will definitely continue to see him and would recommend to others.

I found him to be very inquisitive and interested in my situation. He listen closely without judgment and I was able to discover the cocktail of medications that another psychiatrist put me on was a deadly combination and could have killed me. Dr. Paul literally saved my life. I’m only on the new medication one day and I feel the difference already. But it’s not just about medication. He had me hypnotized, He taught yoga breathing for my anxiety, Who gave me tools ....real life, doable, for usable tools to help with my anxiety. I am to do this first before reaching for a pill. No psychiatrist has ever suggested I do anything except for each for my pillbox. And although that is a temporary Band-Aid after many years of that it takes a toll on your body especially the cocktail I was on. Dr. Paul new things about me and understood me before I even said them. He validated to my husband and I that I am seriously ill and I am not lazy nor am I a bad person. Our goal (that we spoke about and both agreed upon) is to wean me down to the lowest dose of medication possible. My husband came with me and Dr. Paul treated him with the upmost respect and he validated to my husband and I that I am not a bad person. I am a very ill person and I’m desperately trying to get better. With his help, I believe I can and I will get better. Dr. Paul is Very soft-spoken, has good bedside matter and listened intently And showed what felt like pure empathy. He Provided me doable solutions to some crazy habits and added no judgment, Because he has a way about him that I was able to be 100% honest with him. Yes unfortunately, I have lied to psychiatrist before. Haven’t we all? There’s no need to with Dr. Paul. I can’t wait to see him again.

He is Great he listens doesn’t try to force drugs on me and try’s other therapies and exercises to help mange my anxiety, stress , sleep, and anger issues . The only negative thing about him is that he doesn’t take my insurance but A+ as a doctor

Dr. Paul is very professional. He has an excellent ability to understand the issues. He developed a plan that has already helped me. He offered at home treatment that I can practice to help alleviate what I need to work on. Dr. Paul suggested self help reading when I’m at home to help me better understand how I can help myself. It was a terrific experience meeting Dr. Paul and I know we will have a positive working relationship. Brad S.

I saw Dr. Paul for the first time after nearly a lifetime of struggling with suspected and previously misdiagnosed ADHD. He was calm, kind, and respectful and made me feel at ease as we discussed my concerns. His evaluation process is very thorough and I felt as though my needs were heard throughout the whole process. Having been to several pdocs who primarily wrote prescriptions without much guidance or conversation, this was the refreshing change I needed in a healthcare provider! His office is also based out of an apartment which felt homey and welcoming.
Unfortunately, the appointment was not covered by my insurance, so you will have to pay out of pocket. However, taking the time to see Dr. Paul was worth every penny and I left with a treatment game plan!

My wife and I were able to see Dr. Paul together, as we requested, so were impressed right away that he was able to accommodate us in that way. We arrived promptly at our appointment time and were seen right away...maybe a 3 minute wait in his little waiting room. While Dr. Paul is a little quiet, he is certainly knowledgeable and conveys his message in the appropriate way. Both my wife and I felt comfortable with him right away. We spent an hour speaking with him, which was our full allotted time, and are satisfied with the results. We left his office receiving everything we were hoping for, from treatment advice to medication. In all, I would absolutely recommend Dr. Paul to anyone out there who is troubled or having trouble battling their demons! It was our first time speaking with someone and we could not be more glad that we did!
