“Mr Joseph Bolante was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, but also didn’t “speak down” to you as some providers do. He also spent 2 hours with me. He diagnosed me and suggested genetic testing , which is something I didn’t even know was possible for psychiatric medication. ? I’d definitely recommend him! He is not like most psychiatrists, that are just interested in if a medication is or is not working for you, he actually cares .”

Took time getting to know what you’re struggling with to prescribe the right medicine for the best results. Highly recommend.
My husband and I both see Dr. Bolante! My husband has been seeing him since April 2025 and Dr. Bolante has changed my husband's life. After seeing how wonderful Dr. Bolante was, I decided to also go through with the intake appointment. His intake appointments are so thorough and not rushed. He is a fantastic doctor and I could not recommend him more!
Bolante is an excellent medical professional. He is insightful, knowledgeable, and understanding. From our first meeting he addressed all of my concerns and recommended several courses of action for me. He had an in depth knowledge of the potential medications I could take as well as their effects. Bolante has become an indispensable part of my mental health, and I would strongly recommend his services.
Joseph has been great to work with. He has helped me a great deal with my treatment of depression and ADHD. I am performing much better at work after seeing him. He is extremely personable and very easy to open up to. I highly recommend him.
I appreciate that Joseph is very easy to talk to and non-judgemental, and he helped me immediately figure out what medications may help me. He keeps in contact regularly and is always asking specific questions about what's going on in my life and if anything could be improved. 10/10. Super nice as well as professional.

I have been seeing Joseph since December 2024, and he has been the biggest help in my life. He is super thorough with each and every section and always listens to everything I have to say. He shows his concern and empathy and also provides helpful planning and goals.
I had no idea a psychiatrist could be so attentive. After having previous experiences with providers who were quick to refill prescriptions without any questions or personalized care, Dr Joseph has made me feel like my well-being is a true priority. Could not recommend him enough! He is very personable, educational, and easy to talk to.
I started seeing Joseph this May and it was one of the best decisions of my life. My life is changed in the best way and I am so grateful to have found him, especially since it has been trial and error in the past. I would recommend him to everyone if you are looking for someone who genuinely cares and listens to you.
Dr. Bolante s very professional, attentive and knowledgeable about the field. Cares for his patients personally doesn’t feel like I’m just a number. Would highly recommend.
Joseph is so professional and friendly. He always calls to remind me of appointments. You get a sense that he genuinely cares. He also asks me about things which I had brought up months ago which tells me he really listens. Excellent
Super professional and smooth experience. I was seen on time, and everything from check-in to check-out went really well. Joseph was clear, straightforward, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all my questions. This is exactly how healthcare should be—organized, easy, and focused on the patient.
Working with Joseph has been such a positive experience. From the beginning, he was incredibly responsive, compassionate, and easy to talk to. I always felt heard, supported, and respected during our sessions. His empathy and professionalism made a big difference in my care, and I truly felt like he had my best interest at heart. I’m really grateful to have had them as part of my journey.

The level of knowledge combined with compassion Joseph has shown during my treatment is unmatched. I feel truly heard and cared for and highly recommend him!
NP Joseph was thorough whenever I brought my child for a visit, and he always gave honest but thoughtful medical advice. My child’s difficulty with focus and impulsivity have progressed a lot because of him. We have been seeing him for over a year and will continue to see him.
Joseph is a wonderful Psychiatric NP, who really makes sure he takes the time to get to know and understand his patient. He was very attentive, professional and friendly.
