I had three sessions with Dr. Helm. I don’t know if it was poor note taking or lack of interest. I felt like he treated me like I had never seen him before.

He seemed to disagree with my two previous psychiatrists re: my ADHD diagnosis, which is fine. That said, I didn’t get any clear answers from our visit. He seems to have a very narrow view of ADHD - because I’m “high achieving” and can sometimes force myself into action, he wouldn’t consider it at all. I asked if he thought it was manifestations of anxiety instead and he said he didn’t know. Ultimately I left feeling very dismissed - I went in looking for clear next steps and was instead subtly accused of doctor shopping for... read more

During my first visit with Dr. Helm, I felt like he was very attentive and was genuinely concerned about my mental health. I have a severe case of Adult ADHD which has negatively affected both my professional life as well as my personal life. Although I didn’t exactly receive the treatment that I know I need, I understand that health issues are sometimes solved through the process of elimination. I entrusted his care to the extent that I scheduled another appointment to visit him. As he gets to know me better, I’m confident ... read more

I was very nervous about this appointment. Dr. Helm really understood this and by the end I was much more comfortable. He really listened, read my notes for him and took the time to explain different conditions and how different medicines work for some and not for others. I am pleased that I will be working with him, but mostly that he truly cares about my health and he asked and answered many questions. I did not feel rushed at all.

Dr. Helm has help me so much! I’ve had trouble talking to people most of my life and he makes it easy for me and I feel very comfortable. I enjoy my visits. Please don’t listen to these negative comments. He is a great doctor!

Dr Helm treats his patients as though they are drug seeking. Then prescribed me something I had already tried and had a reaction to. My mom was seeing him at the same time and we both have totally different diagnosis yet he prescribed all the same meds to us both? Why switch up our meds in the first place when we were just needing refills? He didn’t listen had a demeanor that made me feel as though I was bothering him. WOULDNT recommend him to anybody. Then was charging my insurance for 40 min visits and never sat with him l... read more

Would not recommend. Odd man & a bit arrogant. I think it's strange for someone in his profession not to be able to maintain eye contact while he's talking. He seemed to have made his diagnosis within 15 minutes and stopped listening after that. Not helpful for me at all.

He was weird and not helpful at all. He got visibly and obviously angry when I told my primary care physician that he was was not helping. I do not recommend seeing him. Based on his negative behavior, I wish I could do more to insure that he couldn’t see anyone else.
