Sorry but he just sits behind his desk and doesn't help me at all. I just need the anti-depressants, they help with my chronic pain.

... He is certainly not THE worst psychiatrist i have had... but i have only had two... I've been 'stuck' with him and I agree with some of the comments about how he "talks down" to you, or is condescending... but i also agree with the others saying he's "one of the best" or that he's a great 'pharmacologist'... His people skills are lacking... i always have high anxiety when i know i have an appointment with him coming up... i only have 10-20 min sessions (if i'm lucky) and yet get charged for a full session. Any time i tal... read more

Dr. Sonnenschein is very matter of fact and clear with detail related to patient care. I have found him to be a great clinician. He's been educational and interactive with my medications. I am very pleased with his care.

I would agree that Dr. Sonnenschien does too much talking and not enough listening, but he is responsive to urgent requests and has been able to work with me to keep my bipolar disorder in check, so I think he is a very good psychopharmacologist.

Everyone is talking about Dr. Sonnenschein having a condescending manner, but he's actually just more clinical & matter-of-fact. Dr S is one of the best in KC & goes out of his way to make sure patients understand their disorders so they can deal with them more effectively. Just because he's explaining something to you, doesn't mean he's being condescending, he's just trying to make sure you understand it! It's very hard to deal with a mental disorder if you have no knowledge about it whatsoever...that's what a good doctor s... read more

The doctor has a very condescending manner. In the words of my 14 year old, he talks to me like I'm stupid. As a parent participating in her session, I found him to be patronizing and showed no people skills. He is especially bad for a teen or young adult because he has a way of making them feel worse about themselves by treating them with so little respect. The doctor's attitude could also convey that depression is something to be ashamed of. Someone is not silly, stupid or defective because they suffer from depression. It ... read more

Yes, I'm never confident that my appointment will actually happen Did this provider listen to your input and concerns? No

When comparing them to others in their field, I would say they are by far the worst I have ever seen. I will never return. One of the first things I noticed about this business was how many different areas of the building were handicap-accessible. I have been to other places where I couldn't tell how someone in a wheelchair could even enter, but they really spent a lot of time to accommodate people with all different needs. They told me a little bit about my treatments' risks and benefits, but I still didn't feel like I knew... read more
