This is only a preliminary review - with a long one coming - while keeping the private stuff compliant and solely focused on the service, attention to detail, amazing empathy, ridiculously ability to connect at a personal level and understanding of your background no matter how unique, and holistic care that Michelle provided - 15/10. My only wish is she could join me as I moved to Ny I would stick with her forever. Stay tuned

A Truly Exceptional Doctor Who Changed Our Family's Life!!!!!…read more We were referred to Dr. Towery by my teenage daughter's pediatrician. Although his services were expensive, we were desperate to help our daughter and willing to do whatever it took to find someone who could truly make a difference. So we decided to give Dr. Towery a try. Before seeing him, multiple psychiatrists had diagnosed our daughter with depression. But to our surprise -- and relief -- Dr. Towery determined that she did not suffer from depression, but rather was exhibiting rebellious behaviors typical of adolescence. In today's world, it's all too easy for professionals to prescribe medication and continue treatments indefinitely. It was a blessing to find someone who took a different approach and wasn't quick to medicate. Instead, Dr. Towery recommended insightful books and a practical rewards system tailored to our daughter's needs. We followed his advice, including delivering the "wake-up call" he urged us to give -- and it worked. We saw a 180-degree transformation in our daughter. Later, when our younger son was diagnosed with OCD elsewhere, we brought him to Dr. Towery as well. The bond they formed was incredibly strong. When the day came that Dr. Towery said goodbye because our son's OCD was cured, my son was genuinely sad -- he misses Dr. Towery dearly to this day. Dr. Towery is a rare gem in the field. His honesty, insight, and commitment to truly helping children and families is unmatched. We are forever grateful, and I give him my highest recommendation

His quick mind and depth of knowledge is always refreshing. Working alongside him in several clinical environments I can attest to his compassion and commitment to his patients.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Dr. Quach for a few years now. I have worked with numerous…read morepsychiatrists over the years but Dr. Quach is by far one of the best. Walking into a new doctor's office can be at best uncomfortable and at worst scary, but the kindness Dr. Quach shows really puts you at ease as soon as you walk into the office. The compassion and care he provides to each and every individual is something that I have not seen before. He takes his time to engage with you and really puts in the effort to understand what you need, and more importantly what you want. He truely listens to each individual and tries to incorporate their wishes into his treatment plan. He makes you feel like what you want in your treatment matters, and that your input is valued. Dr. Quach also takes his time to explain each medication that he is proscribing, including the possible side effects, risks, and benefits so that you feel informed and empowered in your treatment. I would recommend Dr. Quach to anyone, and encourage anyone who has the opportunity to work with Dr. Quach as your Psychiatrist to take it!!

Dr. Kamis is an extremely warm-hearted, kind, down-to-earth, intelligent physician who connects with her clients. Additionally, Dr. Kamis uses a "lifestyle" approach to her integrated treatment plans, focusing on behavioral changes, sleep optimization, and healthy diet as well as medication management when necessary. If I had to refer a family member who was suffering with increased levels of stress, poor sleep, mood changes, anxiety, or an athlete who wants that extra edge, I would recommend they work with Dr. Kamis.

I recently contacted Dr. Dufford to help me after receiving a recent diagnoses of PTSD, it's…read moreunfortunately had been many years since I'd seen Dr. Dufford as a patient. Dr. Dufford returned my call promptly and he was very kind and understanding to my situation as usual. Sadly, Dr. Dufford was not able to fit me in as a returning patient at the time that I called, Dr. Dufford instead gave me a referral to two other Psychologists that specialize in treating the Complex PTSD that I suffer from and was recently diagnosed with. Dr. Michelle Chabbot was the Psychologist that I first reached out to following the multiple traumatic events that led to my Complex PTSD diagnoses and that caused my PTSD Panic Attack. I study Psychology myself, and I was very shaken when I contacted Dr. Chabbot, as I'd never experienced at PTSD Panic Attack before, and I never even knew that someone could suffer from something as terrible as a PTSD Panic Attack. Dr. Chabbot answered the phone immediately, and she was kind and caring enough to take the time to help me immediately. She even answered some emergency questions that I had regarding my recent Complex PTSD diagnoses and the PTSD Panic Attack that I suffered. Dr. Chabbot did all of this for me during her time off on the weekend, when she was out of town on vacation. Talking with Dr. Chabbot, meant so very much to me. I immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Chabbot and I immediately knew that I was in good hands with regards to finding help to treat my Complex PTSD Disability. I'll be continuing my treatment with Dr. Chabbot moving forward, and I'll be sure to update my review along the way as well. I can tell Dr. Chabbot is an extremely gifted and knowledgeable Psychologist, and she is exceptionally knowledgeable and gifted in the area of PTSD especially. Please do not hesitate to reach out to Dr. Chabbot/Dr. Dufford, if you are ever in need. I also urge anyone reading this to reach out to Dr. Dufford/Dr. Chabbot if you are in any need of mental healthcare. It's vital to seek the aid of a Psychologist if you've ever experienced going through a traumatic life event (such as a car accident, workplace discrimination, domestic violence, Ableist bullying, really anything that happens that is traumatic in life, can potentially lead to PTSD I'm told. On top of this, in my own personal experience, PTSD appears to me to be a self fueling condition/ mental illness/disability, meaning that PTSD can worsen over time, if left untreated. What this means is that, it's vital to seek the help of a qualified mental healthcare professional immediately following a traumatic life event. If one doesn't immediately get the treatment that one needs, ones PTSD could quickly worsen, that and one could easily develop "layers" of PTSD, from multiple traumatic events as well. In addition to this, PTSD can also VERY QUICKLY develop into a life threatening condition/mental illness/disability, so please don't ever hesitate to get seek immediate help. Even if you just suspect you might need help, then immediately seek out that help as your mental health can quickly worsen, leaving you in a life threatening situation.

Dr Dufford is one of the best therapists out there. He makes time for you and is super supportive!…read moreI have been seeing him for a long time off and on through my life.

If on the other hand, you're looking for someone to treat you holistically with both therapy and medications including in-depth analysis of hormones in addition to the far more extensive thyroid panels than my original psychiatrist ran, then Michelle is the one for you. Also, while she is always aware of your low moods, if you're looking for someone to coddle you and just say 'Oh my poor baby!' and pat your hand, when instead you need directness, she also is not that. She is sensitive, and does modulate her demeanor absolutely appropriately depending on where you are in your recovery if you're in the throes of severe highs or lows. I've been seeing her for over 10 years and she is why I am as whole and functioning as I am. She is the one that characterized my progesterone levels as being too low, contributing to my anxiety that drove me into MDD episodes. She also ran thyroid panels that showed my active T3 was too low, instead of just looking at T4 like the rest of the MDs. She also worked with me to teach me to set therapy boundaries and responsibility so that I wouldn't dive into heavy therapy and exhaust myself emotionally. Boundaries, who would have thought?? So yeah, by all means, skip her if you just want a shoddy, half assed, 'Oh my poor dear' shoulder to cry on. If you want to actually live a functional life then see her as much and often as possible.

Dr. Indianer asked me for some background on the relationship, and she asked me to think about what I wanted from her in our sessions. Not having insurance for mental-health coverage, I was grateful that Dr. Indianer used a sliding scale. I ended up going through a divorce, and receiving quality care at a more affordable price helped me immensely. I found Dr. Indianer to be a "straight shooter," and I would even say she showed me some tough love when I needed to try to focus more on my present and future rather than dwelling in the past or remaining caught up in my backstory. That being said, she is an extremely caring individual, spiritual, and personable. I recommend Dr. Indianer as a psychiatrist and osteopath for those of us, especially middle aged and older, who seek a wise helper who is practical and wants others to attain their optimum physical and mental health.
