Dr. Eyma was my first psychiatrist visit and I couldn’t have gotten a better doctor: She is so kind, well spoken, and extremely knowledgeable. I felt very safe and heard! Looking forward to seeing her again and would highly recommend her. She also educates as she treats you.

Great first time experience

What a waste of time. I take a medication in an unusually high (even potentially unsafe) dosage and have done so for many years. I was looking for medication management and made that abundantly clear. Dr. Eyma, who has the bedside manner of a particularly boring accountant, refused to even consider or discuss any pros/cons to continuing my medication. Not only that, she confirmed what I was taking in the first couple of minutes then proceeded to spend 40 minutes taking my history. If she was confident that she was going to be wasting my time, why would she waste my time?

Helpful first visit. Navigated other health concerns that I should also attend to, and helped with referrals for the same. Integrated approach to mental health care which is welcomed and appreciated.
