He is a very understanding no nonsense kind of doctor. I am a very strong personality so I need someone who can call me out and bring me back down to earth. He has a keen knack for reading people and working off of that. It has been an eye opening experience and he helps me see things in a way I wouldn't have seen it before. Unfortunately he is in partial retirement, but I have noticed his practice has a steady flow of clients. My daughter and husband see Dr. Sandra Reinhold and they have had a lot of success with her as well. She is compassionate, observant and gives her patients a direction to help attain their goals in therapy and be more successful and overcome their issues. I have gone in a few family sessions with her and have been thoroughly impressed with her approach. This group has really helped me and my family work towards healing after a long and hard road. I am blessed to have them in my life to assist and guide me when I feel helpless or can't find my own way. They also do trauma therapy and work with all sorts of cases and issues. Not sure if they are still taking patients, but either way they will be able to direct you in the right direction. They are knowledgeable, experienced and connected.

I have been a patient at Williamsville psych for over a year and I got dropped from this practice…read moretoday after sleeping through a whopping 2 appointments. Both had been pretty unwillingly scheduled at 9 am! No warning, no nothing, just my NP (not a doctor) giving me a call saying I've been terminated from the practice, after scheduling an appointment with the front office 20 minutes prior. As someone with a disorder such as mine, I was able to find a new office and a new doctor, with no referral within the hour, so I guess it was no big deal for me? What does that tell you about Williamsville Psychiatry though. Do they care about their patients and their progress? Or are they more concerned about the business they lose that given day when a patient misses and needs to reschedule an appointment. I'll leave her name anonymous, but as for my NP (again, not a doctor), she may be the most stale, plain, and honestly inhospitable worker I've come across in the medical field. It just kind of feels like a slap in the face too when I drop lump sums of money coming here, just to have my "doctor" (NP) rush all of my appointments. She gives me the vibe that she just plays candy crush or something in between all of her patients. I'd give zero stars, but 1 star is okay, only because the aloof NP in question was pretty hot.

Actually, when I walked into her office, I wasn't even sure what I needed. However, she held a safe, supportive, and authentic space for me to explore and discover. In the end, I got out with what I needed the most and the most valuable awareness to move forward with the life I desired. If you find her and decide to try out a session with her, I truly believe that you're called to look into something that you've been holding on to that doesn't serve you, and Surja is there to help you to address it.

I went to her office to discuss different medication options and treatment for my tween after she was ALREADY evaluated for suicide following suicidal ideations stemming from a new SSRI. We were actively taking steps for treatment and have a team of mental health professionals guiding us. She spent less than 10 minutes with my daughter, then immediately demanded she be admitted to a private mental health hospital, for a 7 day lock-in and no contact with her loved ones. Or I could take her to ECMC (to be placed with mentally unstable 12-18 year olds of all genders), if I didn't want to pay an exorbitant amount of money for an unnecessary stay at a private facility. I found it fascinating that Krista felt like she had more insight into my daughter, in such a small time frame, than the team of professionals who evaluated and cleared her days prior. Those professionals worked closely with the guidance team at her school (who have been involved with her mental health for 2 years already), spent over an hour speaking with my daughter and were incredibly thorough. I valued their opinion more than this woman who barely spent any time with my child, and she did not have any insight from those who have already been working with my tween. I did not even make an appointment for this reason, we just wanted some assistance with medication. Immediately I contacted other services to have her reevaluated and SURPRISE! Not a single person agreed with her hasty, incomplete and wreckless recommendation. Krista chose an extreme response that would have inflicted more trauma and issues on my child than would have solved- and she did so with minimal information. The next day she called me and threatened to call an ambulance and take my child by force if I didn't follow her recommendation and was so angry when I told her my daughter was immediately reevaluated and cleared. She then contacted the office who gave me a second opinion, deeming hers inadequate, to scold them for not following her orders. But they had already been working with my daughter and had more insight than Krista. Overall, we had three evaluations for suicide risk, all by qualified mental health professionals, Krista was the only one who made such an irresponsible decision, and it was the least thorough and quickest assessment yet. I am so thankful for Spectrum Services, who offered me legal counsel when she threatened to take my child forcefully, despite having been immediately reevaluated leaving her office. It seems Krista has a problem being wrong, she kept saying "i know what I'm doing, this is my job". Well, it is also the job of the other mental health professionals who cleared my daughter and actually took the time to know her and assess her entire situation. It is honestly alarming that this woman works in medicine and has the power to make life-altering decisions on someone's behalf with little to no information. Stay far away.

I was supposed to receive a confirmation email that day with all of the times and dates. Instead, I received it an hour and ten minutes before my first appointment, and it included an 8 page patient information document that needed to be filled out. I was then in a huge rush to get to the appointment, and ended up driving around for an hour trying to find the office. The Buffalo location is apparently in a house, and I drove by it several times and couldn't see a sign or any other indication this was an office. I then tried another similar address with no luck. When I called the office to tell them I could not find the office and had missed my appointment, I was informed all my other appointments were cancelled and I could not reschedule without paying $140 for my initial missed appointment. I find this unneccessarily punative considering I am a first time patient who had never been to the office before. I would think that a missed appointment penalty could be waived once for a new patient, especially considering that I wasted well over an hour of my own time trying to find the unmarked office. When I stated that I had gotten lost because I hadn't received my appointment information as promised, the office staff hung up on me.

There should also be signs saying you can't use the cell phone as a phone in the waiting room. Headsets are needed. The welcome reception desk is nice. Well organized. Pleasant. Smooth. The appts seemed to be running on time. The rooms were clean and didn't feel cramped. The exit process was easy and smooth too. All in all this was a good place for a dr visit. They lost a star because the waiting room isn't managed as well as it should be. A few signs and a little bit of enforcement from the front desk staff will do wonders. I'd point out the tv isn't needed, or at least the volume doesn't need to be on, closed captions would be fine.
