Also, what doctor's office is ever running on time?
Very nice therapists who spent well over an hour with me, contrary to there claims that this is an in & out ignore u type therapist. I've read a few of the negative reviews on here and I couldn't disagree more. I have a feeling some of these negative reviews may have been targeted and spiteful.
It is true that sometimes you have to wait to see Dr. Halikas, however he obviously does things that other Psychiatrists cant do or those that choose to wait wouldn't continue to see him, While I agree that sometimes his tardiness is inexcusable he is excellent at what he does. Another things, having worked in the business Psychiatrist do not normally do talk therapy, that's why he has therapists in his office. Psychiatrists evaluate you, decide if you need medication, and prescribe if necessary. Learn the facts before you criticize.
Dr. Halikas and his staff are amazing. He's currently one of the only psychiatrist in Naples other than David Lawrence Center who is taking insurance. I was in a bind when my former doctor went into private practice without any notice. His staff was very accommodating, and I enjoy how open and honest Dr. Halikas is with me, and in return I feel I can be the same with him. So, thank you to Dr. Halikas and his staff.
Dr Halikas and Lisa the other Psychiatrist are really good at what they do!! I have suffered with PTSD and anxiety for years. I was unable to afford ins, to be treated for this illness. I begin seeing Lisa April of 2017 it is August of 2017 as I write this review and I have made great steps on being more aware of what makes me tick and ways to deal with it. I am really blessed to have met Lisa and Dr. Halikas. This is a great place to receive mental health therapy!!
I saw Dr. Halikas for almost 4 years, and our average appointment lasted about 10 minutes. I used him purely to renew the prescription anti- depressants I was already taking when I began seeing him. I would never have considered using him for a talk therapist, due to his arrogant nature. On the visit before my last, I saw a family member in the waiting room and realized we were using the same Dr. (no big deal I thought). On my next appointment I was immediately asked questions about my relationship with that family member. I was then admonished for my lack of relationship with this person, and told that I needed to start communicating with them immediately whether that was good for me or not. He had no idea what my actual relationship with them was or the history behind it. I have never felt so inappropriately and unprofessionally attacked by a “CARE GIVER”. I would never recommend Dr Halikas. I thought that I was safe because I was just getting my anti-depressants from him. BEWARE! If you are seeing him for script refills you may end up with some highly unsolicited and abusive “therapy”.
My only issue is the lady at the front desk rarely answers the phone. Sometimes you have to go to the office to make a appointment which sometimes you can be seen the same day.
