Dr Gundersen seems to be a caring doctor who is responsive to a patients needs and preferences. When interacting with previous physicians in this field I have been routinely encouraged to re-try medications that I have had a dangerous reaction too. Dr Gundersen took my concerns into consideration when choosing medications to try and due to that we were able to find a great balance of benefit/side-effect. That being said, this office, it's policies and behavior towards patients is at best unacceptable and at worst predatory. From a massive fee for being more than a few minutes late to check-in (required >10 minutes prior to appointment start time) for your appointment, to cancellations/rescheduling without apology or explanation (or notification I might add), to a rather large fee they charge you if you'd like have your prescriptions refilled - a full 5 second process. Bizarre, hostile, and unethical are all words I'd use to describe my interactions with the office staff. These people are actually the worst and I will not be returning to their office, despite my good experience with the Dr himself. …read more

Dr. Schwartz was very professional and understanding. She has a very upbeat and positive approach to the consultation that relieves the stress and anxiety that is often felt in an initial consultation. She was very thorough in explaining her diagnosis and the treatment plan, giving me check in questions to make sure that I understood the proper actions I needed to take and what the follow up steps look like. …read more

She is a very nice woman. Very skilled. But I thought her ideas a bit archaic an behind the times for me. I am progressive, feminist and independent. Her basic beliefs were out of sync with my own. …read more

Means well and it is clear he is knowledgeable at his craft but his is way way way to old to still be doing this. He's essentiall just like any other scenile old man, but happens to somehow still retain his medical license. Good for him for workng hard till the day he does, but certianly wouldn't reccomend him to anyone truly needing help. …read more

She listened to my concerns about certain medications and doses and seemed to prescribe what I was comfortable with while also finding what she believed to help me. After years of being in treatment and trying new medications, she was the first to prescribe me a certain medication that has helped me more than any other (on my first visit, too)! She tries to find a combination (if need be) with as few medications as possible which I appreciate and respect. …read more

Was extremely interested in all aspects of assessment data I had completed the day before. He talked to me for a long time (almost 2 hours) and I had the feeling that he really understood my issues.
