I only saw Dr Jackson once for medication management. Multiple changes were made at the same time,…read moreincluding tapering off one medication too aggressively while starting another at a high dose, without clear explanations of safety considerations. The approach felt overly aggressive rather than careful. I experienced significant sedation and had a fall during the night. When I contacted the doctor afterward because I felt worse, I was told that my "body is sensitive," which felt more like an excuse than a thoughtful explanation. I was ultimately advised to slow everything down, which is what I had suggested from the beginning. Psychiatry should not be a one-size-fits-all practice. Clear communication, careful pacing, and individualized care are essential, and that was missing here.

I saw this one star review and felt compelled to leave something more accurate since I have been…read moreseeing Dr. Singh for over a year now. His schedule is really a direct reflection of how good of a doctor he is. As with any good doctor, it typically takes a month or two in order to get an appointment. Dr. Singh has everything a great psychiatrist should have: compassion, understanding, and empathy. He listens to you and genuinely cares about each and every one of his patients. I know because I am one of them and I see the looks on others patients' faces when they come out of his office. I now drive 45 minutes from St. Pete just to see him and wouldn't have it any other way. That being said, be patient and wait for an appointment. You'll be glad you did.

Dr. Eric Kaplan is a deeply caring person and a exceptional doctor in his field of psychiatry. Dr…read more Kaplan is a excellent communicator and very knowledgeable and experienced in many different mental health conditions and illnesses. He also is very considerate with your time and frankly wants everything covered in the most efficient amount of time during your consult so he can go and help/listen to/ and treat his next patient. I have been his patient for over a decade and have never had a complaint or any negative experience with him. It has only been a positive experience in every single consultation. Lastly I have to say this: he does not want to 'pump' his patients with drugs( as I see is posted in one of these previous reviews) and he does not push anything on anyone in any regard. Highly reccommended. He will take care of you and he has your best interest at heart.

That being said, I have to really think someone is above the average psychiatrist to even mention them. I do not take these things lightly because I have seen too much of the damages done. I would be happy to tell anyone to go see Eric. He has proven to be a good dude and a legit practioner in field. And do your own homework this is not a "you fix me" kind of world. We all have to do THE WORK too.

I had over 20 yrs of therapy for mental illness (schizophrenia, ADHD n nervous anxiety) which before Miss Sara I would have been to embarrassed to even admit to this board I was diagnosed and treated for for over 20 years now. Before Miss Sara I always walked in with my head down low, no hope my concerns or issues would be taken seriously and not just "in my mind" labels can be so damaging. But she took WELL OVER THE HOUR I had an appointment for to REALLY UNDERSTAND me and hear my concerns. She let me play a HUGE part in what medications and route we would take. After I got home she text me with a number I can reach her at if I need help and can't get office and for her to send me resource information as she found programs in the community that would benefit me or that might be helpful. She CARES FOR ALL HER PATIENTS! The prices were more then fair and they take many insurances. In my ENTIRE HISTORY dealing with this illness I have never walked out of a physiatrist office feeling so hopeful and proud of myself and my future. She gave me hope, help, compassion, encouragement and so many wonderful feelings. DONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! I promise give it ONE VISIT and you won't leave her office feeling "crazy" u will leave feeling like a fighter, with a AMAZING TEAM in your corner! After meeting her I have decided to STOP hiding my condition and start helping others like Miss Sara helped me. Thank you SO VERY VERY MUCH!

Fast forward, after a Baker Act put me here---the facility psychiatrist sat me down and said either I sign a document voluntarily keeping me there for an additional 3-5 days, otherwise he'd say I was incompetent and he'd keep me there a week. My husband, who was allowed to visit me only for one hour on a particular day, retained an attorney from Orlando who specializes in these matters, as well as his company and his union attorneys. Thousands out of pocket. Nutrition is absent: mass produced chili dogs, hot dogs, and basically non edible, non appetizing " food"... Group " therapy " consisted of name that tune ,Disney movies, I am not joking. Don't even know the names or CREDENTIALS, if any, of the two clowns running the group. I attended 2 groups in 4 days; I don't recall the other waste of time group. I was able to go outside once the entire time, supervised, of course. Total lockdown... There was no care, no compassion, no healing and certainly no understanding at what is needed in a situation like this--/ and to find out over two years later the poisons are what led me to the action that led me here....i wouldn't wish this place on my worst enemy. NEGATIVE stars. * Ian Kahane, MD, Bradenton, Complete Care, and Steven Stein, MD, Tidewater Total Mind Care, are the two who put me in this position and brought upon severe negative physical, emotional, cognitive, functional, financial and familial consequences.

Her actions, alongside those of Jade and Janet, played a crucial role in saving my life. Dr. Rayne is the only doctor I have ever met whom I trust implicitly; in fact, I followed her from her previous location because finding someone you can truly open up to is so rare. I also want to recognize Jade and Janet, who were my first points of contact. Their patience is truly remarkable, and they showed genuine concern, compassion, and consideration during an incredibly difficult time. As the frontline of the practice, they hold the line with such grace and professionalism. To this incredible team: You have done more than just provide medical care; you have provided a sanctuary of safety and kindness. In a world where it is often hard to find people who truly care, you have been my North Star. Thank you for not just doing your jobs, but for doing them with your whole hearts.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The staff here are…read morecompletely unempathetic and respond like scripted robots rather than real people addressing genuine concerns. Trying to reach upper management is pointless--calls are never returned, and the corporate number provides no answers. Their providers are dishonest and unhelpful. This place feels like nothing more than a money grab, focused solely on pushing more and more medication instead of addressing real issues or listening to patients' needs. If I were in a truly dark place, this facility would have pushed me further over the edge rather than helping me out of it. They show no genuine care or compassion for their patients. The moment you raise valid questions or concerns, they label you as noncompliant, discharge you, and use it to cover themselves. It's deeply disheartening that people working in mental health could be so unconcerned about the wellbeing of those they're supposed to help. I do not recommend this place to anyone.I

I'd give him less than 1 star if this system had such an option. This guy (not worthy of being called a doctor) only seemed to care about making money. Decision had already been made BEFORE I started TMS therapy to close his practice's only location that would work for me (I'm a solo mom of four children after losing my husband unexpectedly 7 years ago). I asked him directly about this at initial consult, because the intake specialist had warned me. He refused to look at me while responding that he "didn't know." Then, two-thirds through my treatment, he had a temporary employee tell me I'd need to switch another location, completely negating any benefit of his treatments to that point. He refused my requests for a phone call or explanation. DO NOT USE THIS PERSON OR HIS PRACTICE!!
