Reviews seem to cover a broad spectrum. When in doubt probably should keep looking. Has DO and education not impressive.
I have seen Dr. Xavier for about 2 years and she is nothing short of exceptional. I have been under the care of mental health professionals for 30 years and, based on my experiences, Dr. Xavier is a top-notch psychiatrist. It plainly evident that she is drawing from a vast knowledge-base when she provides recommendations and medications. Always honest regarding her assessments of my symptoms and behaviors, Dr. Xavier skillfully applies appropriate treatment strategies in a caring and respectful manner. Her approach is though... read more
First thing she says at the start of every session before even saying hello is “And how will you be paying today?” Ummm, I have been seeing you for a long time and this is still how you greet me?” Second, she does not treat you with respect. If you disagree with her or challenge her opinion, forget it. It’s her way or the highway. Third, she is rigid and inflexible when it comes to appointments. If she doesn’t have anyone for her 8:00 am slot, she doesn’t ask if it works well for you, she just puts you in there expecting you... read more
Despicable practice, treats even prospective patients like they’re idiots. If you want to drop $250 on an 8-minute appointment in which she describes to you the most basic of things she could have communicated to you in an email, be my guest. Be aware that she expects you to pay $450 x 3 sessions before she’ll even consider prescribing you medication. Unbelievable
Initial 2 appointments good. She directed me to stop a medication abruptly after I told her it wasn't helping. I asked if abrupt discontinuation could cause any problems she responded no. It caused me to have more serious problems which required more extensive/intense treatment. She was dead wrong, I should have followed the directions that came with prescription instead of her! A patient I know asked to see a counselor to avoid her expensive pay out of pocket fees not covered by insurance. Her counselor was her father, that... read more
I have been seeing Dr. Xavier for going on 3 years and have never left an appointment feeling misunderstood. As a psychiatrist, Dr. Xavier is attentive, insightful, and warm-hearted. I respect and admire her deeply.
Comments from Wellness Psychiatric Services: All reviews are read thoughtfully and used constructively to ensure best care. Please understand that any child who is started on a new psychiatric medication must be evaluated for side effects and medication efficacy prior to a medication refill. All documents that are submitted are reviewed thoroughly by the physician between session 1 and session 2. The practice mission is for clients to know their sense of worth.We will work harder in this mission
My daughter was seeing this dr for couple of months paying $350 each time until we found an in-network physician and made an appointment. A week prior to that appointment my daughter ran out of her Prozac and called for a refill. Dr Xavier denied the prescription. Since the new doctor still hasn’t seen my daughter she couldn’t prescribe. Without meds my daughter risks a withdrawal and worsening of her depression. This is malpractice, patient abandonment before new treatment plan is established.
Super helpful! Dr Xavier took extra time to listen to our needs and help us in the best way she could. Knowledgeable and completely recommended!
