Dr. Chavarria-Siles is one of the best providers I have had! He listens very intently and takes everything into account when making a medication plan. When we decided on a plan, he explained to me everything I would possibly need to know and answered all of my questions intently. I highly recommend him to anyone!

Doctor Chavarria-Siles has great bedside manner and is an excellent listener. Allowed me to express and describe my problems openly and I felt comfortable doing so. Was very detailed in analyzing my issues and explaining treatment and next steps. Would highly recommend him.

He was terrible. Listened to me for 20 minutes and then said he couldn’t be helpful and that I should find someone else. Never had such a bad experience in all my years of seeing such doctors. This appointment was a joke.

Dr. Ivan Chavarria-Siles was excellent - the first psychiatrist that I've actually felt comfortable around since I started medication management about 5 years ago. He is very knowledgeable and helped me understand more about my diagnosis and options. Very glad that I found him!

Dr Iván literally save my life from my perspective of course.
I felt myself lost in a deep hole of medications, I was poly prescribed with 4 or 5 pills per day each of these pills wereto treat new symptoms that started to appear progressively and making me feel like a robot.
I was addicted to aderall for 3- almost 4 years trying to change the treatment which of course I suggested to me previous doctor, I spend days hĂper focused doing research about adhd treatments and trying to find a good fit for me because I knew that something it wasn’t working as it supposed to work, it was a nightmare
as soon as I start to feel better my previous psychiatric Always “suggested to me” Try to incorporate a new one, even when I was very clear about that I was feeling myself better than ever with just one or two medications per day.
Things started to get worse and worse to the point that I decided to seek a second opinion and it was definitely the best thing that could have happened to me in my entire life.
Since I met Iván (who speaks perfect Spanish and that helps me a lot) my life just CHANGE, I was living a nightmare trying to survive each month but ivan was really empathetic, he listened to me, he believe me, he gave me te opportunity to start again and he was always professional and kind.
In about 1 month my life became more stable, he changed my medication and also we work together to find te treatment who match with my necessities, I highly recommend this doctor to anyone who wants to be listens and willing to make a big buy and amazing change in their lifestyle, because it happens to me and I’m pretty sure that this is just the beginning of my new life thanks to his help and dedication ?
Thank you so much Dr Ivan.
