I came to Kavalier & Associates when my favorite mental health professional had to retire. Meeting…read moremy standards after my previous mental health professional was going to be difficult. I came to Kavalier and Associates at the recommendation of my brother and sister-in-law. Dr. Kavalier sees their daughter who is on the autism spectrum. They sang his praises highly. I had my diagnosis in place when I came to Kavalier and Associates as well as a medication regime that was working for me at the time. Over the few years I have been going to Kavalier and Associates, I have worked with them to adjust my meds as needed and sought out counselling as needed. I have never been uncomfortable or made to feel unwelcome. On a side note, I do think it is important that the patient, or the patient care providers play an active role in knowing what meds the patient is on and what side effects they can have. There is no doctor, at least that I am aware of, who can force a person to take a medication that he does not want to or that his care providers say "no" to.

Doctor Andersen has been my primary care physician for nearly 29 years now. I can honestly say he…read moretakes his profession seriously and really cares about his patients physically and personally. I feel like he contributed to saving my life when he picked up on a seemingly routine set of symptoms I was having that turned out to be a life-threatening cardiac issue. He acted quickly and worked in concert with the Iowa Heart Center to confirm his diagnosis and together they performed a life-saving procedure in a timely and successful manner. Dr. Anderson is intuitive as well as knowledgeable when it comes to diagnosing patient issues and treating them. I consider him and my Cardiologist as friends as well as capable doctors.

I set up an appointment for my son who has been sick all week on my only day off of the week they…read morecall me bright and early at 7 AM pretty much recommending that I rescheduled to someone else because they don't want to see him unless he is going to be coming there on a regular basis. I set up the appointment on unity health website and I said it for a location that I'm not familiar with because all the other ones are booked out. The last thing I want to do on my only day off of the week is go to a walk in and sit for ever waiting. The first person that called to confirm our appointment recommended that we reschedule I pretty much got upset and ask them if they were going to see my son or not they told me yes and that they would see us at three then five minutes later another employee calls back and is trying to get us to reschedule somewhere else then they're trying to make me talk to the supervisor to get me to change my appointment because I don't want too. This is the only location that has ever told me that they are not going to see my son when the other ones are booked

Martin Krohn is an absolute waste of time as a psychiatrist. I don't know what type of patient or…read moreissues he's supposed to specialize in, but if you have anything above a hang nail, you'd be better off getting a bag of nickels and going to Lucy Van Pelt (Charlie Brown). This is a professional opinion only. He could be a nice person, but he definitely needs some real world experience in how to help people with mental issues. Dr Gucfa, who is in the same practice, is supposed to be very good. We were referred to him by other medical professionals. But since we saw Krohn first (appointment times for Gucfa were over a month out but Krohn had time available any day {now we know why} we weren't allowed to change. It's difficult enough to ask for mental help. This makes it feel even more hopeless when you go to someone who can't provide help or hope.

I know there are great psychiatrists, psychologists and therapists at Mercy but today I didn't even…read moreget past the receptionist. I have been requested to get someone close to me a mental health evaluation for court. I called Mercy as this person who is dear to me has a long history with Mercy and I was hoping this would provide continuity of care (his psychiatric needs have been handled at Mercy since he was a young boy). The receptionist told me that if I just need a piece of paper saying that he had an evaluation that they don't do that. She asked me if I wanted him to go to treatment and I said "of course I do, but I have no control over that". She was very rude and insensitive. Although many will say that our mental health system is severely lacking (and it is), when people who answer the phone are as rude as this women it's disheartening. In addition, she did provide numbers to two other places that I can call.:-(
