Best Psychiatrist Grand Rapids Near Me

Lisa Klenk: Really good experience every time

Taylor Dalton: Don't entertain this place as an option if you actually want to be helped.I scheduled a virtual, new patient appointment with SHMG 3 weeks in advance at the beginning of July. The woman I spoke to on the phone told me they would send over an access link via MyChart some time before the appointment. Prior to this I had contacted them a few times for referral information and stuff like that, but after my appointment was scheduled I didn't call again.On the day of my appointment I realized I hadn't received the MyChart link, so I decided to call. Someone answers, Victor, and I tell him I haven't received the link to my appointment yet and I ask if he could send it over. He tells me my appointment isn't in the schedule and that there's a note saying it was cancelled by the patient. I tell him that's odd because I never called to cancel, the last time I called was to set up the appointment. I had no reason to cancel; I've been struggling with severe depression and bi polar mood swings for a while and I was excited to finally be getting some help and some answers.Victor places me on hold to ask the person who wrote the note for more detail. After about 10min on hold, he comes back and tells me that a neurology department called SHMG and told them that I called this neurology department and asked them to call SHMG to cancel my appointment for me. Confused? Yeah, me too.I told Victor that I didn't contact any neurology department and that I didn't cancel this appointment. He apologized and said he could reschedule my appointment but it would be at least another month before they could get me in. ANOTHER MONTH?! For something that wasn't even my fault! Why are you taking calls from random neurology departments to cancel patient appointments, anyway? Shouldn't you only cancel if you hear from the patient directly? I guess that's not how they operate.So, now I am back at square one and I've lost over a month of my time going back and forth with this place.The only reason they're getting 1 star and not 0 is because Google requires at least one star, and because Victor was actually very sincere and apologetic about everything; definitely the nicest and most competent person I spoke to there.I can't speak to the quality of their psychiatrists since I didn't actually get to meet with one, but I would still advise that you don't waste your time and that you go somewhere else.

Colin Ragan: Highly recommend Chris! It is apparent that he values you and approaches your therapeutic needs in a respectful manner. Chris’ empathetic nature allows you to open up without feeling vulnerable. Can’t say enough great things things about him!

Lexi Miguel: He’s been treating me for years and since I’ve been seeing him I haven’t been admitted to the hospital for the past five years. He does well with medications and really listens to what you have to say. I thank him for saving my life

Valerie Valentine: I cannot let Dr. Vander Velde's review be left so negatively.He is very determined to find solutions for his clients.I find him to be friendly, kind, while bringing out your joy and understanding your pain. He is thoughtfully thorough and has a great knowledge of medications explaining the uses thereof. I am very disappointed to have to leave his practice due to his retirement.

Kar Noble: Best, most caring, intelligent, helpful, empathetic psychiatrist ever! Truly a wonderful person.

Rick Sprague: She is a terrible Dr. She has prescribed medications for my grandson, even though she has not seen him in person for 3 years. I would not recommend her to treat anyone for any complaint. She has more concerns for his mother than she has for the PATIENT. I am embarrassed for you. You should be ashamed of yourself. She has CAUSED harm to him. He is a gifted child and you missed that. You never had a PRIVATE conversation with him. WOW you are one of the worst Dr.
