I've been seeing Dr. James for a few years now and he is excellent. I've been through a couple psychiatrists in my life but Dr. James has stood out to me as one of my favorites. He's super nice, he's attentive, he listens to any concerns or questions I have about my medication, and I have found him very easy to get a hold of for scheduling or random questions. I highly recommend him to any one seeking treatment for anxiety, depression, or ADD.

Dr James is kind, and straightforward. Doesn't get any better than that! I have been seeing him for quite a while, possibly over 20 years. I don't know how I would have gotten through those years without him. I have been unhappy with Lifestance as far as getting through to actually talk to a person. I do not like it at all, so I will not be staying with Lifestance after Dr. James leaves.

By far the best psychiatrist I have ever seen! As someone with aspergers I have seen many psychiatrists, but Dr. James is by far the best! He will explain how the medications work for you and will do what's best for his patients. He really cares about his patients and will help you however he can.

Dr. James is a wonderful psychiatrist. I have been seeing him for about 12 years. He has helped me through so much over the course of those years. The office has always been helpful and informative with any questions. I couldn’t be happier with Dr. James or the staff there!

This office has been the best for my mental health issues. I’ve been to numerous doctors over the years with not much progress. Dr. James addressed issues that were previously undiagnosed and works with me on my medications. Definitely recommended
