I visited Dr, Trahan in March 2021 when I was in a severe depressive state. I had one in-person visit and two telehealth visits, after which I was still unable to receive an appropriate diagnosis. His office confirmed the wrong apptmt time for my next in-person visit after my mom took off work and drove an hour to attend to help get the correct diagnosis. They sent us home, refusing to squeeze us in even though it was their mistake. We went home and were able to get me a same-day appointment with another psychiatrist who got... read more

I have met with Dr Trahan twice now. I am very happy with what we are looking at doing for my mental health.

He's the only Doctor that has found anything to help my anxiety/OCD. He's kind and compassionate and I am so happy to have found a Doctor that understands what my body/mind need.

Dr. Trahan appears to be the only on-call psychiatrist at NKC Hospital, and is the worst out of all the other doctors working with Meritas Health. He has poor communication skills, and is not willing to consult or take advice from other psychiatrists. He does not listen, to what the patient or family is telling him. The apathy toward his patients is unprofessional.

Dr. Trahan has been by far the best psychiatrist that I've had. He's really easy to talk to and actually listens to you and doesn't treat you like you're insane even if are.

Dr. Trahan refused to continue to prescribe a medication that had been working for me. I have tinnitus. Loud ringing in my head. When I first saw Dr. Trahan, I was on 5 medications. We both agreed to streamline my medications. After going off all of the medications, I did not do very well after being off of an antidepressant that worked for the tinnitus. I went back on the medication and felt much better. Even though I insisted that it worked for me, he refused to prescribe the medication.

Dr. Trahan made me feel very uncomfortable and he was unprofessional in his work. He was constantly putting me on new medications and was not caring about any side effects I had. At one point he told me, as someone with generalized anxiety and panic attack disorder, I was "a lost cause" because a medicine he prescribed wasn't working for me. I was also uncomfortable in our sessions, they felt creepy to say the least. I had an acquaintance who was a foreign exchange student who went to him for anxiety and he told them that th... read more

Dr Trahan is an absolutely horrible psychiatrist. He replaced my favorite psychiatrist ever and instead of just maintaining my medications which I’m doing fine with, he wanted to put me on heavy duty antipsychotics. In the previous appointment he gave me samples to take me slowly off Latuda,because we both agreed I had been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder. However, he knew I was experiencing negative mental side effects from coming off pain medication and told me to step down off Latuda also
