He took the time to ensure I fully understood what was happening and helped me make sense of my anxiety symptoms. He thoroughly explained both conservative treatment approaches and medication options, outlining the benefits and considerations of each.

Verified patientVideo visit
I have a prior negative experience with a psychiatrist which made me a bit anxious to book an appointment with a new one. I found Kaliym on ZocDoc and was just booking consultations to see who would be a great fit. Based off of our first conversation it is clear that Kaliym takes pride in his knowledge and is excellent in communicating in words that can be easily understood. I didn’t feel any pressure or anxiety speaking with him. I shared my prior experience and thoughts about my feelings towards psychiatrists. Kaliym certainly took a huge weight off of my shoulders and I look forward to a continued great experience with him!

Dr. Howell is an amazing psychiatrist. I do not have great experience with therapy in the past and felt like it was a waste of time but he gives great insights and helps you navigate through life problems in a fair way. He does not tell you what to do but he explains different scenarios to help you through your logic honestly. Definitely recommended and will be seeing him often.
