I have been receiving care here, on and off, for a number of different reasons, coming up on 3…read moreyears now. (Dr. Reddy) I left a poor review for their office after my mother died, we had a communication issue that resulted in me being over-emotional and blaming them. I'd like to set that straight here and provide a thorough review of my experience with this business over the years - emotion free. I'll add that Dr. Reddy reached out to me after that issue, apologized for whatever happened with the office, and assured me he would continue to treat me if I came in, which I did, and I am so happy that I did. (read on) ________________________________________________________________________________ The Office: In reference to poor reviews - Scheduling mishaps happen, and sometimes people have bad days. In my experience, they right all wrongs. At the end of the day - it's a business that provides a service, and no business operates with perfection. However, in my experience, this office operates more professionally and with more care than others I have gone to. I have never been dissatisfied with the actual service I've received. I will note that if you want to reach the Arlington Heights staff, make sure you use the correct contact info. I find that if I schedule or make contact with a different location I end up having issues. However, if you call their office directly, the AH office, they are incredible and I do not have any issues here ever. _______________________________________________________________________________ The Doctor: More importantly, no office issues would ever cause me to re-consider the actual treatment I'm receiving from Dr. Reddy. I would put up with quite a lot of front desk shenanigans if it meant continuing treatment with Dr. Reddy, who doubles as a real human person - if you don't know what I mean, be grateful. He is wildly intelligent, knowledgable, and understanding of nuance and complexity within his specific field/clientele. I do not believe he treats individuals "cookie cutter" style because my experience has absolutely not been 'average' and he has not skipped a beat with helping me move forward, adjust things, or out-right change something. He's the type that will be beneficial for someone who truly wants to change. However, I think he's a bad bet if you're not willing to do what needs to be done, or are unwilling to take the steps required to begin/continue treatment with him. He's too smart for BS and I believe this is what makes him such an incredible asset. If you're truly trying to make behavioral changes, he will provide incredible care in this case - per my experience. ________________________________________________________________________________ The Result: Dr. Reddy, both directly and indirectly, has helped move me from a dead-end job, due largely to my 'issues' affecting my ability to perform to my potential. I lacked motivation and I had a healthy amount of self-hatred. I had a horribly dysfunctional marriage, my sleep was bad and I was not exercising anymore (something I have done for many years without pause). I was also not being the father that I desperately wanted to be. All around - unhappy. - I now manage a mid-large company here in Chicago, with a dozen employees under me. - My marriage is wonderful, our communication is open and often. (Dr. Reddy brought my wife into my treatment briefly to help keep me accountable, which inadvertently helped us become more invested in each other overall). - My daughter has loved having a much healthier version of her father, I have the energy to go play and run around and I'm more present psychologically to invest in her personal growth and development. - I'm able, and have the energy/motivation, to be in the gym 5 hours/week again without fail. Not to say he magically fixed my life, but he has been a mostly constant part of my life over the years. The rough periods over these years have been the periods I wasn't seeing Dr. Reddy, but improvements began immediately upon resuming treatment when I came to my senses. I absolutely attribute the majority of the large-life-changes I've experienced over the years to his care, commitment to my success, and his specific personality type. I'll reiterate, it did take 3 years for me to get here. These types of personality flaws, behavioral changes, etc, take time. He may not have fixed my life, but he did provide me with more than enough treatment/advice/planning to succeed IF I followed through. He did not provide me with the opportunities that changed my life, but he provided me with myself back, and with that, I've been able to take hold of those opportunities with confidence & clarity, resulting in success. ________________________________________________________________________________ Bottom line: I don't think my life would look anything like it does right now, had it not been for Dr. Reddy & his team. Period.

Armanda Keci PMHNP is an excellent provider. She listens to her patient's concerns, work her schedule with her patients (even off hours), very approachable and provides honest feedback. Armanda is knowledgeable regarding her patient's psychiatric and medical needs. She explains the medication use and side effects to her patients and makes sure the patient understands the treatment plan, goals and expectations. She collaborates with other providers, such as the therapist and PCPs to address her patients needs. She follows up with her patients on a regular basis and promptly replies to their messages. I highly recommend Armanda and BZA for providing excellent support and care to their patients. Coming to BZA is like having a friend and shoulder you could count on.

I am writing this review because of the positive experience I had as a student while at BZA. The facility is very welcoming and esthetically pleasing. Another strength of BZA is its team approach. I have enjoyed observing my preceptor, Armanda Keci, interact with her patients/clients. She is thorough, personable and most importantly genuinely professional. She is an excellent role model for the psych and mental health profession. She is prompt is responding to her patients' needs whether online or in-person. As a student, she gave feedback on a daily basis, was available and responded to my needs within minutes to hours and my required clinical documents were submitted in a timely manner which truly helped to alleviate my stress level. I feel extremely honored to have had this opportunity to learn under Armanda's guidance. I highly recommend her to patients experiencing mental health issues any student pursuing a degree or certification in Psych and Mental Health.

And, I have had more than a few over my lifetime. This doctor will not allow insurance companies to tell him how to treat his patients, because his office does not accept insurance. He and his staff are focused on their patients, rather than dealing with their insurers That's why I pay his bills "out of pocket." If my coverage allows me to submit his "out of network" bills for payment I do. Every dime I've spent to be treated by Dr. Gamze has been returned tenfold by the help and relief I receive in his care. This is a great psychiatrist with an excellent staff!

My experience having been treated here was relieving at first as I really needed serious attention…read moreand help, but slowly became unprofessional. This is not the location to choose if you are looking for long-term healing. The advice and insight I've been given felt like a bandaid compared to a lot of the complex and deeper issues I was struggling with. I didn't feel care or empathy at all from Katarina. The office started ghosting me, and have not gotten any response from her. Coming out of my sessions I felt unimportant, I felt like my issues and struggles didn't matter. This place didn't feel like a lighthouse. Matters got worse when I was asking for a note, or signing papers for work. The attitude towards me became cold. If it was out of their capabilities, I wish they tried referring me to a different location, helping me reach out to the actual help I needed. I felt so lost and stressed especially in the state I was in already. I felt threatened to have a session or not. Please, take the time to listen, be patient, understanding, responsive, and act with care as all these patients are going through tough times. Edit* After writing this review, I experienced an unsavory set of actions in order for me to take down this review, thus slowing my healing process. I have no doubt they have helped individuals before, but the unsavory actions indicate large red flags for this business. I advise caution. After every session, Katarina would just walk away like time was up that's it. I just felt like a stranger that she had to talk to for one hour and then that's it. Being a social worker, I felt it lacked the empathy and warmth. I've never felt as if she tried to understand me. I switched to my old psychologist and after just one session with him I felt hopeful. I expressed my concerns and he showed me empathy and a willingness to work things through.

You can get better information, advice and direction from YouTube or podcasts. There are several highly trained and experienced therapists that you access for your specific concern. Unless you lack any self awareness, and even then, either these therapists are oblivious or simply don't have a level of skill or any follow through necessary. If you don't return, no one follows up. May as well just use a free, more highly specific resource. I was advised to take action that is opposite of that for dealing with someone with the issues presented and would've further antagonized an already dangerous situation. Presented with the caveat they really don't know. I am not paying to get advice from someone who doesn't know! I can get bad advice for free, on my own time and not have to drive! Maybe try online therapy that isn't as expensive and time consuming and offers more alternatives for your specific issue. Extremely disappointing. Do not recommend.
