A great place for mental health!

I feel compelled to write this review as Dr. Dana Wang literally saved my life a few years ago when I met her in urgent care. I was in a very dark place, and since then, I've been seeing her weekly. She made it possible for me to sleep and have a life again, and I'm really grateful. She is a great psychiatrist and very talented at what she does. I hope more people who suffer can benefit from treatment and not suffer alone.

Dr. Raymond Raad is an empathetic practitioner who doesn't treat his patients like "another file in the cabinet." He offers a good balance between psychology and psychiatry, which is exactly what one needs from a mental health provider.

Joe DePaola at RIVIA is great! He’s easy to communicate with and he isn’t just a medical professional helping me but an actual human being in our discussions. It’s a very calming atmosphere and also very helpful.

I’ve started to see Hannah Kinisky weekly. She is the first therapist who I actually look forward to seeing, and it doesn't feel like a chore. I have been going to this practice for more than 2 years, and I would recommend it to everyone.

I've been seeing Leila Cadwell for the past several months, and I've made a lot of progress. I find Lei personable and knowledgeable. She addresses all my concerns. It's so great to find a provider that truly listens and cares. I highly recommend her.

I really like Lindsey Wright as a provider. She is compassionate and has a holistic approach to treating patients.

I've been a patient of Lee Lee Milner’s for 4+ years, and she is excellent in my opinion. She is empathetic and takes the time to really listen and provide sound, well thought out advice. She is also very thorough going over my history. She has a lot of constructive advice about how to better manage stress and work-life balance. I highly recommend her!

Arielle Siniapkin is empathic and easy to talk to. She understood my problem easily.

Dr. Wang made it possible for me to sleep at night, which changed my life. I had trouble sleeping after my wife passed away, but with medication and therapy, I slowly came out of my depression. I have Dr. Wang to thank for that. I am very lucky to have had her as my doctor!

My experience working with Dr. Raad has been wonderful. He is warm, thoughtful, and very knowledgeable. He listens well and gives good feedback and guidance. I'm happy to continue my treatment with him.

I’m very happy I had the chance to have Arielle Siniapkin as my provider. She is very knowledgeable but still kind and empathetic.

Dr. Wang is thoughtful, caring, and effective. I have been a patient of Dr. Wang’s for the past 7 months. During my search for a psychiatrist, all of the doctors I spoke with led with a focus on medication and medication management. Dr. Wang was the only one who took the time to listen to my concerns and work within my wishes – to start with a therapy approach before discussing medication. During our sessions, she is objective and straightforward with her evaluation of what she hears and observes. She is upfront about expectations and holds me accountable to do my “homework” in preparation for our weekly sessions. I’ve grown a lot during my time with Dr. Wang. I know my journey won’t be easy, but with her guidance and support of my goals, I will get there. I highly recommend Dr. Wang.

Dr. Wang is extremely smart and compassionate! A great listener and problem-solver. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Raad is a thorough and detail-oriented physician. He provides patients with an in-depth understanding of his approach to medications and psychotherapy. He also challenges patients to better understand themselves and their behavior. Highly recommended.

Joe DePaola is so personable, and he made me feel listened-to from the start. This is not one of those places where they hand you a prescription and you’re done. Joe is knowledgeable and took his time to get to know my situation. I feel confident in my treatment plan with him.

I found Dr. Raad patient, dependable, and caring. He took the time to listen to me and asked lots of questions. He paid attention to what I had to say and made me feel comfortable. He then told me what he thought, and we discussed my options together. It was nice to have a psychiatrist offer therapy rather than just medications.

Dr. Wang is very smart. She picked up aspects of my psyche other psychiatrists never have. I highly recommend her.

I have seen many doctors in my attempts to find the right one. Dr. Wang not only has great medicinal treatments but also does therapy.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have found Dr. Wang. Of the many psychiatrists I have seen in my life, she is absolutely the most thorough and insightful. Thanks to Dr. Wang, I found the correct dose of the right medication to help me treat anxiety and depression. She also has a thorough understanding of substance abuse and addiction issues. Dr. Wang is a keen listener, and every time I leave her office, I feel she’s given me new insight into my life that I didn’t have before.

She is the only psychiatrist I’ve seen that insisted I get blood work as part of the treatment process. This led to the discovery of a genetic mutation I have that is related to mental health. Thanks to this discovery, I’m now taking the correct supplements to help remedy the issue.

I have never been happier in my life, thanks to the work Dr. Wang and I have done together and changes I’ve made in my life. I have already recommended several people in my life go see Dr. Wang and will continue to do so in the future.” ~

Dr. Raad is a true professional. He takes his practice seriously and has been very helpful.

Leila Cadwell is the best! I couldn't recommend her more.

I would highly recommend Dr. Wang to anyone seeking psychiatric treatment. I saw two psychiatrists and ended up deciding to keep seeing her. After I explained my concerns, she went straight into asking the right questions to determine what would work best for me. Dr. Wang was very thoughtful and helpful in how she would explain things to me, and you can tell she is someone who knows what she is doing. I have been seeing her for a few months now, and her initial treatment plan has been working – I've seen progress. She discussed long-term strategy with me, and we have made adjustments over time to find the right balance for me. Dr. Wang makes me feel comfortable opening up and simultaneously confident in her treatment plan. I have been actively recommending her to my friends.

I saw Dr. Raad for a couple of years, and I highly recommend him. I experienced great results over time and can say I am in a much better place than when I first walked into his office.

I've been a patient of Lee Lee Milner’s for many years and have never met a more kind and understanding medical professional. She is patient, open-minded, and always makes me feel like I'm in great hands. I highly, highly recommend her.

Dr. Wang is the only therapist who ever took me seriously, and I am very grateful for her help along this journey.

I have had bad experiences with psychiatrists in the past and thought being able to talk to a psychiatrist about my issues plus get help with a good medication plan wasn't possible.

Dr. Wang listened to me and took her time going over my history. I felt like she was listening to me the whole time. She is so easy to talk to, and I am really confident about my future with her. I'm looking forward to our next appointment. She is a good doctor among so many terrible ones. I could not recommend her more.

Joe DePaola is very courteous, listens to my concerns, and is thoughtful and kind. He came up with a shared care plan and was responsive electronically.

Dr. Wang, in my opinion, is a dedicated and immensely qualified healer of broken souls. That's what she did for me, a thankful veteran.
