“A lot of people are scared or intimidated to see a psychiatrist or any professional that deals with mental health. Lots of us always have the thought that we are silently being judged, not believed, or even ignored when we are at our most vulnerable. I went ahead and took a chance with Dr. Ramsey and have nothing but good things to say so far from my visit. Dr Ramsey is very easy to talk to and very open minded. It can be very hard to find medical professionals that actually care to listen to their patients nowadays and I felt very comfortable speaking and expressing myself to Dr. Ramsey without any of the fears mentioned. I will definitely be a returning patient and will recommend to family and friends moving forward. I'm looking forward to a professional and healthy experience with this individual and hope people who see this review get some small idea of just how great this Doctor is and to, hopefully, take the leap. You won't regret it!”

More information on payments and coverage

Because we accept insurance, we can reduce out-of-pocket expenses and still offer high-quality care. You may not have any cost related to your visit with us, depending upon your insurance plan. Most patients pay a small copay per visit, subject to any deductible or coinsurance that your health plan has. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services determines appropriate billing guidelines. These guidelines depend on the length of the visit and the complexity and severity of your diagnosis. For this reason, we need to wait until after the visit for the final determination. We then submit the claim to your insurance company. The charges are calculated based upon pre-negotiated prices with your insurance company. Your insurance company will then determine what amount, if any, is your responsibility per your insurance plan.

My visit never took place. Just 40 minutes before the scheduled time, I was informed that it was cancelled because the doctor doesn’t accept new patients of my age. This was incredibly disappointing and frustrating — I had been looking forward to this appointment
