He’s a great listener and understands what the triggers in my life are. I’d be lost without this man’s empathetic abilities.

Amazing doctor who actually cares
November 27, 2024Armahn S.Verified patientVideo visit
John Njuguna is an excellent provider and I highly recommend him. Before booking an appointment, I noticed lots of reviews saying that John is a great listener, and I found that to be absolutely true. You can openly discuss any concerns with him in a judgement free environment.
John is responsive, empathetic, and he is willing to work with you to find the right solution to any of your needs. He is also thorough in the best way; I was sent a few assessments before my first appointment. During my first appointment, it was very clear that John had read through my assessment and was already familiar with me, asking specific and tailored questions.

This provider was amazing to work with. I felt as though he was listening to my concerns and worked with me to create a plan that I was comfortable with. He answered all my questions and throughly explained the process. I can’t thank him enough for squeezing me in and seeing me as soon as he could as my anxiety has been very high! Thank you again!!!!

August 24, 2024Initials hiddenVideo visit
I found Dr. Njuguna to be polite, friendly, and respectful. He helped me fill out the numerous forms that are required by both Zocdoc and his practice. He had nearly-immediate availability (less than 24 hours after I searched him up) and I am glad to have connected with him!
August 16, 2024Initials hiddenVideo visit
John goes above and beyond!!!! He truly cares about his patients which is extremely rare to find nowadays. My insurance was giving me trouble and denied me my medication. He called them immediately after and got it squared away without hesitation. I cannot recommend this amazing nurse practitioner enough. I would give 10 stars if it were allowed! ?
June 28, 2024Kristen S.Verified patientVideo visit

Great experience!
January 22, 2024Initials hiddenVideo visit
This was my first ever appointment for any type of mental health care and John offered wonderful help for my concerns, addressing everything I asked about during our meeting and creating a comprehensive plan outline to start treatment right away. I did not feel rushed or pressured at any point during the appointment, and he made sure to check for understanding throughout the conversation, overall keeping things calm and light. When selecting medication options he immediately asked for my opinion and made sure he received a confirmation notice with my pharmacy while we were on the line. Finally, John made sure I had his contact information so I could immediately reach out with any concerns moving forward. This was a very positive and easy experience.

I was looking to get evaluated for ADHD and John Njuguna made it a very easy and straightforward process. He was nice and listened to everything I had to say. I usually get anxious before appointments but after talking for a bit, he made it easy to get comfortable. Also, the wait time was very quick and I didn't wait very long at all.

Dr. Njuguna took his time to understand my needs for anxiety and insomnia and my context. He clearly explained his philosophy and what each medication was to be used for and how they would interact to provide the best therapy. I enjoyed my conversation.
January 20, 2024Initials hiddenVideo visit
He really was a great listener. He gave me good advice. I am usually one to try and push through mental issues. But I’ve been beginning to fail to or atleast am reaching my breaking point… Amongst other things he reminded me to put myself first and take time to do things that make me happy and even though I’m VERY against taking medication or even therapy in general convinced he’s me that it would help me. He listened to all my concerns and that I don’t care if it’s fda approved I don’t want to depend on it blah blah blah lol... and calmly told me all the possible side effects and the benefits. I can honestly say he got through to me so I’m gunna give it a try.
January 16, 2024Onaji C.Verified patientVideo visit
John was great! He is very knowledgeable about different treatments. He is more than willing to give multiple options based on your comfort level in a non-judgmental, safe space!
January 15, 2024Eileen R.Verified patientVideo visit
I was looking for a provider that was attentive and reliable as I transferred my medication management and ADHD treatment and John was great. He asked thoughtful questions about my entire medical history before prescribing me my medication and seems like a dependable and honest doctor who would listen if I had concerns about my care---rare in my experience! Very pleased.
December 10, 2023Lauren E.Verified patientVideo visit
I was able to get an appointment right away, which, in my case, was a lifesaver. The provider was pleasant and approachable. I'm definitely going back.
