I am an 11 year patient of Dr. Lavins. I was his patient at his previous job. He literally saved my life and with his caring ways has kept me stable for the last ten years.
He is an amazing health care member and a psychiatrist who really cares about you and wants you to be the best you can be. I was fortunate to be able to get in with him at Talkiatry. I am on Medicare and the Medical Assistance for the Working Disabled (MAWD). I know I may have to pay what Medicare doesn't but it is worth it to get the best psychiatrist.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit with Dr. Lavin. He is such a kind and compassionate doctor, who listens to what I have to say and offers. Wonderful, suggestions and feedback. He creates a very comfortable environment, where I am able to share everything, knowing that he is there to help me through any rough patches. His calm and caring demeanor truly puts me at ease. I so look forward to my appointments with him. I would highly recommend him to any new patient.
