“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 .”

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!

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.

Super professional and smooth experience. I was seen on time, and everything from check-in to check-out went really well.

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.
