I am a male 37 yrs old. Let me say that i have never posted a review for a doc or anyone for that matter, but this review has to be posted At a age 23 i finally admited to myself i had a mental health problem. Many arrests due to impolivnese, not caring about life, etc. Bad realationships with family and friends etc. From 23-33 i have seen many docs with minimul impovment and at times feeling worse then how i started. I would see doc after doc and went through the same old thing to the point of suicide 3 plus times. Few minutes given the hottest med to push, a run of my credit card and me week later crying for help. I know its a process and doesnt improve your mental health issues right away. But to see 5 plus docs over yrs and always feel worse, feustated over soc cancelling apts, hr wait to be seen, talked down upon, and blind as day no support. Then one day telling my self i am going to find the right doc for me. Went online and called a dr by the name of Amy Kosches. First apt we spkke for 20 minutes if not 30, hmm doc seems to care , back and forth conversation, meds with explanation on the side effects, changes will be taking place each visit until your feeling great., calling to chech up on me between visits, office atmosphere, short wait, early hrs, etc etc treated like family truth is she is the best i will guarantee you make one appt and like meyou will write a online review for the first time. I went from a few bouts of suicidal thougts to working a steady job for yrs, great relationship with family and friends and peace of mind. Bottom line MY DAD AND MOM BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD ....... AND DOCTOR KOSCHES KEPT ME IN THIS WORLD MIKE read more

I'm giving her one star because you can't rate her lower. When I moved to Florida and my Doc had retired in the state I came from I needed a psychiatrist for my main problem of very, very severe insomnia most of all. I won't go into details but this is the WORSE doctor I have ever seen. She cares about one thing only MONEY how much money are you going to bring her. And she's expensive and gives you hardly any of her time. Her lack of tact and bed side manners are atrocious. She has zero manners of or in speech. I contacted the main offices in Florida "Health" to report her. Her malpractice of how she treated me did qualify for them to do at least an investigation. I guess depending on what they find they take the next step. However only how she handled my med was a "valid" reason for them to make what they called a "valid complaint" it said in the forms that bed side manners would not be considered a "valid complaint" Yes how she handle my med could have cause me serious physical damage. It was very serious However I don't see how a doctor in the mental health field is not required to have bedside manners or tact. Its words they use to communicate with patients with a myriad of problems from insomnia to depression, BP, ect,ect It requires excellent communication skills, tact and a kind tone are a MUST HAVE for them. More than Docs in other fields. However I did not follow through as I did not have time. I found another really good Doctor. Before I go any further. Anyone seeking treatment for any diagnosis given due to child abuse and neglect like PTSD, Please read the updated info by real doctors with cutting edge info like Bruce Perry PHD and Judith Herman MD. These Docs write in a manner that is easy to understand and will give the readers very good clue on what to look for in a competent doc and why is key to treatment. Because doctors like Amy Kosches can do more harm than good. She is outdated in her knowledge.Very outdated. And a Doc that seems to have control issues. Another very important issue with this doc is that she doesn't thoroughly explain her choice of med for you and to you the patient This breaches on a very important law. The Informed Consent Law. I mean I've read a lot about psychology and I saw a very good top of the line very ethical psychiatrist for my insomnia on and off for 19 years.. There was never a problem because from the beginning he established an atmosphere of mutual respect and a safe validating environment.. . This woman in my opinion and my experience as an extremely well informed patient should lose her lic.. This woman is not cheap I paid 280 for the first consul that was 35 mins of her time and 85 there after for like 15-20 mins of her time.. Now a days Doctors can monitor their reviews...So her reviews are good. I had read previews reviews before where others expressed the same outrage at her treatment. After I read a great book called "People of the lie" by Scott Peck MD. which I highly recommend It made me think of her. Narcissists don't "see" others they have NO empathy. And the last observation i'm going to mention about the woman is that she does not remain objective about her patients. For those who may wonder what I mean about staying "objective" about her patients. This is the perfect definition from the dictionary. Objective: treating or dealing with facts without distortion by personal feelings or prejudices. Also she is NOT really listening to her patients either. When I requested my chart from her. Everything I had told her was wrong in her notes and I could/can prove that. Is like she wasn't even paying full atte to what I was telling her. I am writing this review out of concern for patients who are paying big money to these Doctors and that money should include ethical, kind, humane, up to date treatment and up to date knowledge. Which she does not have. read more

Very rude doctor. I honestly do not understand how this lady has a 4.3 rating. I had been seeing a doctor for years who just now retired. Dr. Kosches was suppose to take all of his patients when retiring. They set up my initial appointment which $275 cash. The night before the appointment, I had to cancel do to a car accident I had. When I called to set up an appointment again, she would not see me. Needless to say, I am now without a doctor, on a scheduled drug with one month left, and I am scrounging to at least get my patient files from her. Very, Very, Very rude. If you want dependability, reliability, and a guarantee that she will be there for you, this doctor is not for you. read more

Dr. Kosches was highly recommended to me by a friend. My friend had been going to her during a most difficult time. I have been seeing her for 8 months. She is an excellent Doctor. She is very knowledgable and compassionate. I have the utmost confidence in her. She has helped me a lot during a very difficult time in my life. I couldn't recommend her enough!!! She has an excellent office staff. They are very efficient, kind, and always work with me if I need something. read more

She is a great psychiatrist! I have seen my fair share and she's the first one that I've not only liked, but trusted. I always know she's truly listens to me and my concerns. If I try a new medication she explains to me how it works and what are common side that her other patients most commonly have. I know she would do nothing that I wasn't comfortable with and she has my best interest at heart. read more

Dr Kosches is the best of the best. While there is usually another patient waiting, she never makes me feel rushed or that she isn't listening to me. When she prescribes something, she explains in detail, why she is prescribing it, what effects good or bad may occur and when. I feel that she really listens to me and doesn't judge me. She has the perfect personality for her profession: Calm, encouraging and non-judgmental . You are in great hands with her. read more
