    Diana is amazing. She is always helpful and willing to go the extra step when insurance or pharmacies are being difficult.

    The 5 stars are literally for NP Shara Short. she is lithralls a godsend. it is extremely rare to…read morefind a physician of any kind that actually CARES about you & will advocate for you. She is the perfect blend of supportive kindness and tough love. i can't say good things about her. if I could give 10 stars I would. Side note: if you are a person of color PLEASE try to see her if available

    Updating my review to respond to the owner since I wasn't clear enough before…read more Number 1: I didn't get a prescription from TWO DIFFERENT PROVIDERS. I got prescription #1 for my anxiety and prescription #2 for ADHD. BOTH were always prescribed by the SAME doctor for years. It wasn't until Dr. Denise came to the practice that I started having problems getting refills on medication I've been getting prescribed for YEARS. SHE was the one who advised me to get my anxiety medication from another doctor because she would not refill it for me. It has been months since I've had a refill. She DID NOT disclose to me that if I get my ANXIETY medication (prescription #1) from another provider (because she refused to refill it) that she would also refuse to refill prescription #2 for my ADHD. These are TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT medications. I was not trying to get "extra" or cheat the system, I ran out of my anxiety meds and needed a refill. My last refill was back in MARCH and I was only prescribed 10 pills. Dr. Denise refused to refill my prescription for some reason but advised me to get it from another provider, which I did. I was simply following the advice that Dr. Denise gave me to get my regular meds that I've been taking for years. After following her advice to get prescription #1 (anxiety meds) elsewhere, she later on refused to refill prescription #2 (adhd meds). I have been going to this practice for a few years and have loved it here when Dr. Charlene Bell was still working here. Dr. Bell was attentive, caring and actually LISTENED to patients instead of coldly rushing them off calls after not listening or helping them at all like Dr. Denise Olutoyin Akinyanju. During an appointment with Dr. Denise, I was advised to seek my anxiety prescription refill from another provider. What was not disclosed to me (and should have been) was that doing so would result in my ADHD prescription being denied. I only learned this AFTER I needed a refill on my ADHD medication, at which point I was abruptly told to get all my prescriptions elsewhere. Had I been given that information UPFRONT, I would have just gotten both from that other doctor right then and there. Now I have to schedule ANOTHER appointment with that doctor and miss more time at work. This lack of communication disrupted my treatment yet again, since this happens often with Dr. Denise, and felt very unprofessional. The lack of clear communication, paired with what appears to be punitive action taken after I followed her guidance, has significantly impacted my care. I believe this conduct was unethical, possibly retaliatory, and clearly not in line with patient-centered practice. Additionally, this is not the first time I have experienced undue difficulty receiving long-standing, necessary prescriptions from Ms. Akinyanju, despite a stable history with these medications. I previously reached out to a higher-level manager at the practice about similar concerns and received no response. By the looks of other reviews of this practice, echoing the same treatment by the SAME provider, this is clearly not a one-off situation for this provider. I have been a patient for years with no issues but now I've since decided to file a formal complaint with the Virginia Board of Medicine and have discontinue my care at this practice. If you're considering care here, especially for long-term medication management, I would recommend giving that a second thought.

    My provider, Tonya, is one of the best psychiatrists I've worked with and I feel fortunate to have…read moresuch an amazing resource. Tonya is popular so she tends to run late on appointments but it's worth the wait because when you're in her office, she doesn't worry how far behind she is, instead, she focuses her attention on whoever is sitting in front of her. I feel she genuinely wants to know how I'm doing but, more over, Tonya has included me as a member of my treatment team, which is the first time I've had that feeling. She listens to my ideas and takes my input when discussing topics like adding or removing medications. Also, I'm a disabled veteran and as it so happens, Tonya is a veteran as well so that goes a long way when relating to some shared experiences If you're looking for a psych you will be happy you picked Tonya to help you on your journey. Just make sure you have the patience to wait if she's running late on your appointment. As I said, she doesn't rush her patients and if one of them needs a little extra time with her she's not going to bum rush them to the door. I find it's always worth it if I just relax and wait for my turn because I get so much out of my visits with Tonya. Bonus: on Fridays she bring her little dog to work and he always puts a smile on my face. Churchland also has some really good counselors (and not so good), I would suggest asking Tonya to recommend the best fit for you, if that's something you're interested in...she does that for her patients who want that service and she'll put in a referral for that that specific provider.
