“This is the second physiatrist I have seen. The first one felt like she was just checking boxes. Dr. Ken made me feel like I was heard. He gave me plenty of time to explain myself and my situation. He didn’t rush anything and took the time to go over the options I had in front of me and explain the reasons why he’d choose a certain medication for me and took the time to go over all the benefits and side effects. I would highly recommend him. He made me feel comfortable to share my experiences and past traumas. I will continue to work with him in tandem with regular talk therapy that he is going to recommend.”

“Finally found a provider who actually makes the process make sense. I’ve dealt with so many issues trying to find in-network care in the past that I ended up going out of network just to get help, and the costs were ridiculous. This was the complete opposite experience. Everything was straightforward, efficient, and handled exactly how it should be. No confusion, no runaround, just results. Easily the smoothest experience I’ve ever had with a provider. Affordable, fast, and genuinely stress-free. This is how it should be done.”

    Although it turned out that my insurance was not accepted, this psychiatrist was so nice spent time talking to me, helped me out, filled my prescriptions and told me if I had any problems to give him a call. I honestly think I'm going to make an appointment and just pay out-of-pocket.

    I had a very positive experience with this telehealth psychiatrist. The appointment was professional, well-organized, and I felt listened to throughout the session. They took the time to understand my concerns, explained things clearly, and made me feel comfortable asking questions. The virtual visit was convenient and smooth with no issues. I would definitely recommend and would return for future appointments.
    Verified patientVideo visit
    He was not very empathetic to something I shared. If you’re going to be sharing traumas and certain things that are relevant to questions asked I would expect more emphatic and thoughtful responses. He literally said like ok mhmm to really terrible things I experienced. I get it not a therapist but you are in the similar sphere there should be more mindful responses.

    Ken was very patient and listened to everything I had to say. I never felt rushed or ignored. He took all of my concerns seriously and set up a treatment plan based on what we discussed and what I was comfortable with. I felt completely heard and validated and I am very happy with the care I received. 100% recommend.

    Excellent experience, for the first time feeling significant relief. He provided assurance and hope that with the treatment I need things will improve. I would highly recommend him if you are someone dealing with anxiety and a history of trauma as he allows plenty of space for you to speak and offers helpful, calm solutions. He is experienced and has a wealth of knowledge, I am thankful I found him.

    I recently started treatment for ADHD/ADD with Kenechukwu Ezeanya, and the experience has been excellent. He listened carefully, understood my symptoms, and gave me a clear plan. The medication they prescribed has already made a big positive difference in my energy and mood. I feel more present, and stable than I have in years. I’m very grateful for their help and highly recommend them.

    I highly recommend. He listened with precision and empathy. He cares. A lot of Dr's don't. I would give him 100 stars if I could!
    Verified patientVideo visit
    Dr Ken was great. He made sure to listen to all my history and was extremely friendly and engaged. I liked to hear how he’s appreciative of therapy as a parallel treatment to medication. He also flagged a possible reaction from a drug a previous psychiatrist prescribed - which I really appreciated. I’m glad I found a great psychiatrist.
    Really great. spoke very clearly, listened to my concerns, and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. They also helped provide guidance for my family situation and made me feel supported. I would definitely go back.
    Verified patientVideo visit
    Very informed doctor. But did not like how he took my medication and just decided to change it after I've been on this regimant and it's helped me out for the better part of 3 years of my life. I do not like the decision but if he thinks I should do it I won't argue until something actually affects me in a negative way.

    He has been such a great help in trying to figure out how to move forward with my mental health. He has great recommendations, and asked a lot of good questions to gain context of my mental and physical health history. He's super accommodating and listened to everything I had said. I would recommend him to others!
    Great experience!
    Video visit
    He was very understanding and patient with me while I was explaining all my issues. I’m looking forward to seeing results in my mental health after getting the proper treatment I needed for a long time. Definitely would recommend for anyone who wants a doctor who actually listens and cares about your well being.
    Verified patientVideo visit
    I saw this provider at a very difficult and vulnerable time in my life, and I left feeling dismissed and unseen. The interaction felt cold and impersonal, more like a transaction than a conversation about my health and well-being. There was little compassion or effort to understand what I was going through, which made an already painful moment even harder. I understand that providers are busy, but empathy and human connection matter deeply, especially when patients are struggling. I hope that this feedback helps encourage a more compassionate and patient-centered approach in the future.

    He called me before my first appointment to? make sure that he wasn’t wasting my time or money and did a quick five minute deep dive as to what actually I needed so he could take a few minutes and prepare a better session. Really stood out!
