He is an active listener and his responses to what I say indicate his acumen in issue spotting, and therefore, are extremely helpful. He has taught me the value of paying attention to how I feel instead of stressing over a situation. This has helped me to realize that circumstances do not matter as much as the degree of importance I attach to them. He also has a great sense of humor and is very approachable in demeanor. The staff in his office has always been professional and accommodated me with the the next available appointment. When his staff leaves a message from him to call me or I have contacted him after hours, he always returns my telephone call immediately. He is extremely intelligent, a quick thinker, and is genuinely concerned about his patients. He has always been extremely professional. This is rare for psychiatrists.

I honestly can't agree with all the negative reviews here. I've been a patient with the Jefferson…read morePsychiatric Associates for almost a year now, and I have had only good experiences with the staff and doctors here. Last year I decided to finally seek medical assistance with an ongoing issue I've had for most of my life. I was a little nervous going in because I've never really had extended experience going to a therapist for this kind of treatment. The obvious stigmas concerned me. My primary physician referred me to J.P.A. and I must say that I was impressed with their service from my first visit and have been consistently pleased with the treatment I've received since then. Dr. Rynning is a caring and compassionate healer who nailed the diagnosis and treatment from the beginning. The medication he's prescribed me requires a monthly refill, and he has made sure that I have easy access to this process. Even during the recent hard freeze here in New Orleans, when many roads were closed and options were limited, he was quick to personally phone me and let me know how the weather would effect my ability to pick up my refill. (The freeze happened on the day that I was supposed to pick up my next prescription, which of course caused issues with a medication that I take daily.) It gave me a tremendous peace of mind to speak to my doctor and have him personally let me know that my treatment was not forgotten due to the unexpected weather conditions. I've never experienced a bad visit with the front staff members. I say this because I notice they are getting a bit of flack on Yelp. They've always been polite and prompt with me when I've had to call in a refill, always calling to let me know right away when the prescription is ready to be picked up. As far as that process goes, I also have only high praise. If I call in a refill at 9AM, I typically hear back from them within the next few hours. I appreciate the staff's professionalism, as I am sure they usually bear the brunt of angry calls from people who do not understand that the process of prescribing medications is not as simple as just scribbling something down on a piece of paper. In conclusion, I would personally recommend Jefferson Psychiatric Associates to anyone in need of psychiatric treatment. Their office is very peaceful and sets the tone for a good sit down with a caring doctor. Dr. Rynning has been a consummate professional in all of our sessions, and I can say with complete confidence that my quality of life has improved ten-fold since becoming a patient.

She charged me a staggering $450 for 1.25hrs and then wanted to set up another appointment to "discuss" the results at a cost of $150 then charge ANOTHER $125 to revise her findings in the report she made. I've been in the medical field for 9 years and have interacted with hundreds of doctors and I can say the fact that she is unable to do something as simple as correlating a basic blood panel from my hospital from a two time cancer patient like me with patient history shows she is either completely incompetent when it comes to real medicine (very likely) and/or is intentionally writing misleading evaluations so you can pay her to "fix" them at the next visit (also extremely likely given my experience with her office) I released my complete medical history to her and still she claimed I was "hiding something." Never have I interacted with such an insecure and condescending person. All she cares about is hooking you in for that next appointment so she can milk your pocketbook dry-always promising but never delivering what she says she will do. I went to an infinitely more competent doctor THE NEXT DAY (who charged not even 1/4 of what she did) and was given a completely different (correct) result for my evaluation. Very glad I cut my losses with the unethical Dr Le. Stay far away! Disgusting, shady used car salesman type tactics.

Let's get the stigma out of the way: people suffer from mental illness; it doesn't make you any…read moreless of a person. It's okay to not be okay. That being said, I'll admit it: I suffer from some pretty extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and panic attack disorder right after Katrina and have bounced from psychiatrist to psychiatrist, because as someone with medical training, I got mad at doctors for spending less than 15 minutes with me, and prescribing me pills... And two weeks later when those meds were hurting me, switching me to something different and so on and so forth. Because of that, I hated psychiatrists. I didn't trust them. I thought they were the excuses of doctors that were just there to pill push. Fast-forward a couple of years after my psychiatric rebellion and lack of medication. I had just started grad school down here and all the pressure and stress were killing me and I ended up in Ochsner ER for a severe panic attack. I was assigned Dr. Megan Crochet, and it was life changing. She actually spent time getting to know me. She figured out pretty quickly that I was jaded by the system, and rather than tell me to take this med or that med, she actually explained how and why it worked, and that earned my trust. She even ran a cytochrome enzyme test on me to determine which meds would work on me based on how my body metabolized drugs... Which explained why I reacted poorly to so many of them in high school. Naturally, when she left Ochsner to open her own practice, I followed her. Unlike Ochsner and most doctor's offices, her office is warm and inviting. The lobby is full of comfy couches and even a "spa" with couches to lie down on while you wait (or while your kids are in an appointment). There are fun decorations, full of bright colors and designs, coffee and juices and healthy snacks to help yourself to, and even a little library (she even gives you a library card so you can check out books!). There are now several other doctors at the practice, and it's such a nice fit for everyone. Its the most relaxing doctor's visit you might ever go to! And Kate the receptionist is super sweet and very efficient and can help you figure out scheduling and insurance claims and things like that. I seriously cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Crochet. I'm like 95% convinced she was an angel sent to grace this world and help us out. She's BRILLIANT, kind, and understanding. She doesn't just spend time prescribing pills, but rather gets to know you, figures out what's going on in your life, and figures out a short-term and long-term plan for helping you, including running the genetic testing to determine which meds will work best for you, which cuts out the frustration of all of the trial and error. She's a wonderful sounding board, and helps me figure out my own problems, too, so the appointment design of 50/50 med check/"therapy" is a great design. She never talks down to me, and always recognizes me as an intellectual counterpart, which is incredible considering she's already had her doctorate for a while and I'm still a year or two off. My only negative is that she doesn't take insurance directly, but her staff can help you file a claim for out of network benefits with your insurance!
