I have seen this provider twice now and have nothing but positive things to say about him. I was able to get an appointment very quickly with him (the very next day.)

I wanna shout a big thank you to my mental health provider, Nelson K. When I first came to the Regency clinic I was really feeling weird and low on my self-esteem. This clinic help me with a series of psychotherapy sessions and within three months I could confidently go to work, hang out with friends and colleagues, and effectively have my worries under control. Mr. Nelson, I just wanna say a big thank you for putting meaning back into my life, and now am enjoying quality time with my friends and family. I will recommend Regency clinic to anyone needing mental help.
Nelson has been incredibly, helpful and supportive and I’m grateful for the change he has made in my life. My anxiety and depression is like night and day since starting on my treatment plan. It’s been great. I would recommend him to anyone!
Regency Services is the best outpatient clinic to seek your mental health treatment. The provider is very dedicated, knowledgeable, and has a great professional approach. I will like to give a special thanks to Mr. Nelson for all his help to get my mental health under control. He follows up with me to make sure my treatment is responding. I have recommended all my family members and friends with mental problems to visit the Regency clinic and their problems will be taken care of. Dr. Nelson, I appreciate all your help!
This was the best experience I have ever had with a provider. I got an in-person appointment for the next day, when I got there my wait time was less than 5 minutes. Dr. Kwowi was knowledgeable about my disease process, diagnosis and treatment process. I am very satisfied with their services and feel great since being on the right meds and correct dose for me. If you are looking for a great provider, look no more, he really cares about his patients. Thank you Dr. Kwowi
Dr.Nelson is a great psychiatrist. He has a genuine concern for his patients and is very attentative. I've already recommended him to some friends and family members. Highly recommended!!!!!
Regency Psychiatric Services has helped me so much. When I first started coming I was riddled with ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and Anger, etc. Dr. Nelson Kwowi was extremely helpful and listened to my issues and concerns. Mentally, I feel better just the way he was listening and got to the bottom of my mental health conditions and started me on the right medications that has transformed my life. I am very appreciative for finding Regency Psychiatric and the help they have provided. I can’t thank him enough for helping me.
