I like the manner and way Dr. William Rickles treated me, he is very professional and intelligent. The setting, and set up of his office causes a relaxed, calm feeling for his patients.

Fascinating guy - highly intuitive and just the rare gem I was hoping to find in a psychiatrist. I have a sense that I'm making the right choices with my body with a individual with the insight and intelligence that Dr. Rickles possesses. He's definitely not the kind of psychiatrist who divorces the therapeutic approach from medicine, but he won't make judgements about your reasons for using certain medications if it truly helps you.

I was uncomfortable about seeing a psychiatrist for many reasons but Dr. Rickles "got me" and helped me with my panic attacks. I would strongly recommend him to my friends and family
