My review for Dr. Pakier was previously misreported by myself as I did not click off 5 Stars…read more I have been a patient for the past approximately 9 years. He has consistently provided outstanding, compassionate care. His professional services for me are so important because in this time in our society it is to rare to meet a physician who spends the time listening to me. The reasons I highly recommend Dr. Oscar Pakier to anyone in need are: 1) Compassion; 2) Experience; 3) Skills and 4) a working knowledge concerning prescribing the correct medicines at the correct doses to really impact my life in a very meaningful way. Sincerely, David A.

Have been going to Dr. Pakier for 3-4 years now. Like most psychiatrists seem to nowadays, 80% of…read morethe session is meds management. It seems some of the other reviewers were looking for someone to talk things out with, and they might be better off trying a couple of therapists for that. Regarding the meds, Dr. Pakier has demonstrated the ability to recognize major changes in a patient's internal state from visit to visit, ask the patient questions about how long / how often and external factors that may be causing or exacerbating the new presenting symptoms, and only then consider adjusting meds (without having to look up side affects, etc.). For me, I'm actively working on resolving behavioral issues and sometimes things get worse before they get better - he isn't thrown off by these temporary variations in the trajectory of a long change, but is still flexible enough to provide some "relief" when we both feel that a variation is significant enough to interfere with long-term improvement in a particular area. _This_ is where he shows his caring, shows that he's really paying attention. In summary, my experience is that Dr. Pakier is a solid professional who knows his business and, perhaps, is most effective when the patient is also seeing a therapist intent on ultimately reducing the patient's meds to the bare minimum over time, if not zero. Dr. Pakier supports this goal and is very willing to maintain communication with a patient's therapist so that everyone is on the same page regarding where the patient needs to "go", and how to best get them there. Would definitely recommend to family & friends - and have.

I first saw Lynne in 2004. I couldn't leave the house. I had suffered from anxiety for most of my…read morelife, but when perimenopause hit, I was a mess. Lynne saved my life! The exposure assignments she had me do empowered me. She had me yell at my anxiety and realize I have a choice to live with it or conquer it. Lynne is brilliant. She is highly trained in anxiety and panic disorder. She knows her stuff. I remember her telling me because I would ask her all the time, do you think I'll ever be normal again and be able to do things and she would say yes if you do the work. Lynne also helped me by communicating with my psychiatrist on what meds were working, and which ones were not. She helped me alleviate my fear to use anxiety meds through this difficult part of my life and not be scared of them. Even when we were doing telemedicine, I was still able to put myself in a place and imagine a scenario in my head where I had to deal with my fears. I just felt so safe and trusting with her. Lynne saved my life, I will always be grateful to her. I still have panic attacks once in a great while, but the tools Lynne left me with help me fight them and they don't escalate.
