Pleasant yet straight to the point. Highly recommend.

He was fine. Like he kept me on what I was on. I do not think he would be great if you don’t know exactly what you want or if you are in crisis or something. He just seemed really kinda checked out.

My provider was great. He listened to my concerns, he was empathetic and caring. We worked together to do my medication management and he gave me my medicine that I needed urgently.

Dr. Keisling is one of the best psychiatrists I have ever met. He is extremely welcoming, understanding, patient, and easy to talk to. He is extremely intelligent, experienced, and is an authority figure in his field. He is someone who is solutions-oriented and genuinely wants to help— without being overly commanding and/or dismissive. He listens in a way that some doctors choose not to. If he senses hesitation, he acknowledges it while other doctors might ignore it or brush it aside. He asks you what kinds of changes (or non-changes) you’d like to make and provides constructive feedback, along with truly helpful advice. Far too many doctors these days seem to maintain tunnel-vision; they stick to the “book” and do not approach psychiatry in a comprehensive manner. Dr. Keisling is an exception. No wonder there is a waitlist to see him; it is certainly worth the wait. He is truly an exceptional doctor and such doctors are hard to find. Don’t get discouraged by the wait. Know that you are in good hands.

he was great. i have a therapist, and use psychiatrists more for when i need medication. because of that, i'm a fan of getting in and out without many extraneous requirements. dr. keisling seemed to trust me which made me feel very comfortable, we got straight to the point, and he got me what i needed very quickly.

Doctor Keisling's professionalism and manner was superb and sincerely showcased a willingness to help and a compassion that is hard to find in the medical field. After only a single visit, I couldn't say that I could be more pleased with the service and the counsel that he provided.

Wow I have never even heard of a psychiatrist so bitter and rude. Not to mention he didn't even hear me out or listen to my problems/conditions really.

A great psychiatrist who really listened to me and asked important questions about my life to get a feel for what I needed. He also accepted the treatment I was already under, not trying to force me in any way to change it as long as it worked for me. I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Keisling was very kind and listened to me patiently. He was very quick to prescribe medication, which was not ideal-- but he was good at assuaging my fears about the medication and made me feel like I was taking steps to improve my mental health, rather than relying on medication unnecessarily.
