    You can always count on Dr. Oklan. As Joan R said, he is always available and quick to respond to my calls.

    You'll find no one else even close to Dr. Steve Balt, in terms of his expert skill, sincere empathy…read morefor his patients, and uniquely effective approach to mental health treatment.  If you've grown exasperated or etiolated with other providers who just won't *listen* to you; if you're looking for someone to selectively challenge your thoughts to inform your "gestalt" to you and others, as appropriate; or, if you just need someone you can trust to have your best interest at heart, I can personally attest to the fact that you should see Dr. Balt now, while you can. The rough can only obscure a gem like Dr. Balt for so long.  Dr. Balt's style precludes traditional "paper" diagnoses, which, at least to me, makes the most sense because no one can maintain with any level of confidence that their thinking and psyche can be wholly and correctly labeled in a box. Let's face it: our thinking is fluid, as our issues may be of mercurial function. Dr. Balt not only fully understands this truth but clearly relates to it in his treatment, which I would describe as medication-assisted psychotherapy.  Seeing Dr. Balt every other week since Summer 2018 has been perhaps the most rewarding experience I've accrued in that same timespan. I had seen other providers, but only Dr. Balt recognized my issues as specific to only me, as a person.  Dr. Balt's "collective" approach assures that you won't be stuck scarfing down tablets for reasons you don't fully understand or agree with, and compromise is the name of the game when loggerheads nears broaching.  Without delving into my personal issues, suffice it to say that complexities have been manifold, and I've honestly actually come to eagerly await each and every meeting with Dr. Balt!

I take a conservative and rational approach to medication management and I am willing to work with patients and their other providers (therapists, primary care physicians, other psychiatrists) to simplify or reduce complicated medication regimens.

    Dr. Polfliet was probably the worst doctor that I have ever had the displeasure to interact with…read more Background: My wife that was going through a severe depression caused by PG&E who poisoned her via a gas leak. While the gas company was responsible, Dr. Polfliet was complicit in her passing through her actions. She catapulted my wife's already serious depression into a clinical depression that ultimate led to suicide. Here are the "low-lights": 1. Even though her website claims that she is open to alternative medicines ("East meets West"), she would belittle my wife who wanted to continue trying not only hard drugs but also allow her to use non-pharmaceuticals. My wife literally left crying after most sessions. 2. After only two sessions, she recommended a brain wave "TMS" treatment - experimental and of doubtful science at best - that would have cost around $30,000 for starters. She failed to disclose that her husband was the co-owner of this company and only admitted to it later: "Oh, I thought I told you". A clear case of using desperate people for your own gain. 3. After about 2 months of treatments, she told my wife in her session out of the blue that she will no longer treat her as she felt her case was too difficult for her (My wife called her outside office hours from time to time). This was the literal killer: Getting a psychiatrist is so difficult in Marin that it took us months to get to even her and she did not offer an alternative but just cancelled her services. I had to beg her to at least prescribe enough medicine so we can bridge the gap until we find another doctor. Only when I challenged her that she cannot leave us high and dry did she suggest a very poor alternative with terrible reviews. My wife was so shocked and depressed that her own psychiatrist would consider her situation to dire to treat...so as a consequence, six days later she tried to take her life as Dr. Polfliet, her best hope, just simply gave up on her without given her any alternative or any positive outlook. Dr. Polfliet was the last straw. Treating children with Ritalin was more her specialty and probably her sweet spot as her place was full of them. 4. To add insult to injury, Dr. Polfliet even submitted papers to the court (I sued PG&E) that my wife was just pretending because she wanted to get money from PG&E. My wife paid with her life - that is not pretending, Dr. Polfliet! It took me years to write this, but I just cannot remain quiet about the professional negligence of such an incompetent doctor. She triggered the death of my wife when she could have been her salvation.

    Dr. Sarah Polfliet is one of the best in her profession and practices with the highest level of…read moreintegrity. She is extremely compassionate and sincerely cares about each patient. Dr. Polfliet is up-to-date with the latest in the field of medicine, and takes a comprehensive approach to your situation, looking at multiple angles, options, and scenarios. She never ceases to amaze with her vast knowledge, wisdom, and practical guidance. And she clearly communicates in an honest and uncomplicated manner. She will inspire, encourage, and be your advocate through every aspect of life that effects your well-being. Thank Dr. Pofliet, from the bottom of my heart.
