I would sum up MIke's commitment to emotional health in three words: dedicated, experienced, and down to earth. I have been seeing Mike for about 2 years. I have been diagnosed bipolar and maintain a relationship with a counselor on a regular basis. Thankfully, I crossed paths with Mike and continue to see him on an as needed basis. He is sincere in his interests to serve you as his patient. He offers appointments on occasion that are outside his normal schedule. Most importantly, he offered assistance to my family and a family member that surpassed any expectation I would have ever had. I texted him and he read between the lines. I was able to phone him and discuss my concerns. His dedication and reaction to my situation in his approximate words, "I would not have wanted you to schedule an appointment and have waited to discuss this then. Of course I don't mind the call." I just can't say enough about his genuine interest to help his patients.

Dangerous Egotistical Unprofessional…read more I was hospitalized at Lincoln Trail Behavioral Health System due to an accidental overdose on my meds. Dr. Kodali told me that my overdose was not accidental and that I had intentionally tried to kill myself. I was flabbergasted. I was scheduled for a major surgery, one that had taken 3 months to set up, and Dr. Kodali would not release me for surgery until I said he was correct, even though it was not true. So to please his ego, and to get my surgery that helped me walk again, I lied and now have false information on my medical records.

This is the real deal right here if you have ADD/ADHD. Dr. Walker is so fantastic and he truly…read moreunderstands what life is like when struggling with ADHD. This guy gets it!! I had been looking for a psychiatrist who specialized in this particular field since it is something I struggled with for a while. When doing my research I came across Dr. Walker and found out he had a similar educational background as myself as well as living with ADHD too. Making an appointment was extremely easy. I sent an email and received a response from their office admin, Kathleen. The office is a little different than normal doctor offices. There are no on site admins; this is to help keep costs reduced. All communication is through email/phone regarding scheduling. Louisville ADHD does not take any type of insurance but you can file claims on your own if you have out of network coverage. The waiting area has a good deal of information regarding ADD/ADHD. It is very clean and relaxing. There is an entrance to the waiting room and the exit is from Dr. Walker's office. This way the patients never run into each other and I really appreciate that consideration for privacy. Appointments usually last 50 min and can run around $150 for the initial appointment and $300 for the following. I know what you are probably thinking....this is so much money...BUT...hear me out. I've been a patient since November and in less than a month I have had tremendous improvements with my ability to focus both using therapy and medication. I would highly recommend Dr. Walker if you are searching for a psychiatrists who specializes in this field. He genuinely cares about his patients and their progress by offering real therapy and not just medication. Excellent, excellent service, experience, and knowledge!

The team is very good about setting expectations and communicating in advance. For example, about varied hours around holidays. They know how to work with folks that have ADHD and the process is smooth and easy to work with. In the last 4 months working with Dr Walker I have managed to complete two sections of a basement remodel, we can park in the garage for the first time since we moved in, and I have lost almost 25 lbs. These improvements are directly related to having the proper medication and guidance of this staff. Thank you!

This year I was prescribed a new medication and because of how hard it was to get into contact, and to schedule an appointment I would go one month with medication and then one or two months without it. Also making an appointment is very hard. It typically takes me about a week to even reach them or have them call me back. They also won't refill your prescriptions if you need to have a appointment but they do not call you or communicate to you that you need to have an appointment. I have also found the front desk people to be quite rude. However, there's been a new girl who's been answering the phone who has been lovely.

You may be hesitant to read my bad review, or take a course of action based on my personal…read moreexperience, but I am not here to dissuade you from doing anything or spiel a story of why this doctor is horrible and how did not address any of my problems or put me on the right meds. This review should be taken objectively, I am here to tell you that there is a flaw in the healthcare system, where doctors (and yes, particularly this doctor) seem to think it is okay to weave a web of lies in order to make a profit off their patients. I don't want you to make the same mistake. People go to doctors and psychiatrists for so many reasons, they need someone to talk to; they need some interaction; but when the time boils down to it, they are not here to tell you the truth. They will give you meds, and feed you lies as long as you continue to express interest as a patient. Doctors (psychiatrists) make money off your addictions! It is as simple as that, and if you end up in Dr. Patels chair, be weary of his intentions and motives, because he is a clear example of this flaw in the system. He did not address me as a human being, but rather as a number with an addiction and disorder, and did not help me in any way. He feeds off the people in this town, who are not educated enough to differentiate between something real vs. fake. He is a disgrace to humanity who is only out for the own success of his business and well being of himself and his family. Please do not make the same mistake I did. Think twice.

I recently attended a mindfulness session with Megan Bartley as a group mindfulness guide, and it…read morewas a wonderful experience. Considering all the stress that day-to-day life can bring, work-related or otherwise, it can be hard to slow down and take a breath on your own. Counting/breathing exercises or meditation tracks can be helpful at times, but in-person human guidance is something that can never truly be replaced. Megan's tone and attitude in our session was warm with concern, care, and attentive presence. Even in a group setting, where I'm normally prone to social anxiety and "Am I doing this right?" introspection, I felt myself ease into a level of relaxation and comfort. Visiting her required less than an hour of my day; it was time that I was happy to give, and time that she was more than ready to use for transforming my negative thoughts/anxieties into positive and in-the-moment reflections. I showed up dreading the humdrum activities of tomorrow, but I left enjoying the air in my lungs, feeling the energy in my body, and savoring even the smallest details of an average day's routine. The short and sweet of it all: I'd definitely recommend her as guide to mindfulness and mental relaxation!
