This psychiatrist just makes me laugh! every time I leave his office ,or I get off the phone with him on a telehealth call,he's just so serious it makes me laugh. But I test his smarts all the time,. He is a very intelligent man I do believe he knows what he's talking about,he can become very frustrating at times when he just sits there and looks at you, he's not very personable he keeps his personal life to himself which makes me believe sometimes he's not very happy person. he reminds me of Shelton on The Big bang theory, he's got some of his same mannerisms. But if I had to have anybody on my side because they didn't know what to do on my deathbed,I certainly would like to have him there he does give you things to think about!!He does make you think,I would just like to see him smile every once in awhile,but other than that he's a good guy.😁

From my first visit I was pleased. Dr. Paul was thorough and over all a great experience. I appreciated his advice and understanding. There was some miscommunication initially booking the apt. And getting to the right location, however they were all very kind and understanding of that. I feel confident that I will continue to see him for future apts.

I was very confused 😕 when I got there...no one was in the waiting area, including no receptionist. So, I was walking around the 3rd floor trying to figure out if I was in the wrong office. Despite, the name on the door. Dr. Paul was very kind, respectful, and professional. I loved how good it smelled in the office and cleanliness.
