Best Dr I've ever had
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/10/2026
Dr Harvey is the best doctor I've ever had. He is always concerned about my daily life and helping me deal with everything. He always tells me to reach out if I need anything and answers my chart messages the same day, or very next. I would and have recommended him

Dr. Harvey is easily the best psychiatrist I have ever had. His abilities as a physician are only matched by his thorough yet clear explantions. His concern and empathy are always obvious. I would recommend Dr. Harvey to any and everyone I know.

I could not be any happier with Dr Harvey. He is probably the smartest person I know. I can't think of anything he could do better. He has made my life, faith and recovery easier than I possibly thought he could. It was a big decision to change doctors and it was definitely the right decision. I urge anyone who has addiction, recovery or personal health to see Dr Harvey!

My Dr listens to everything I say thinks about it and we discuss it

Dr. Harvey is the best that I have ever experienced at explaining things and going over treatment options with me. He has a very personable and caring demeanor, and explains things in a way that always leaves me feeling informed and educated on the subject. Other doctors In the past have made me feel as though I were just along for the ride and that my input or feelings on issues did not matter. I now feel like I am actively Involved In my own care rather than just being told what to do and being expected to be quiet and go along with It.

Dr. Harvey is one of the BEST doctors I have ever worked with. He is uber intelligent, kind, and very good at what he does. I can't say enough good things about working with him as my mental healthcare provider.
