Best Psychiatrist Independence Near Me

Chronic Smoke: Non consistent. Doesn't manage Meds correctly. Forgets to refill. Impossible to get ahold of. Never on time. She actually causes anxiety. Pray she remembers to refill. If not good luck getting in contact.

nicole self: Doctor Parsons has went out of her way to help me and get me where I need to be. I believe she has good experience and can relate to me in many ways. She is always cute and teaches me things in a visual way so I understand. Thank you for being there for me dr parsons!

Angie Milburn: I've been seeing Dr Parsons for over 8 years. She is an incredible physician and has helped me so much with my anxiety and depression. She is truly caring and a hidden treasure amonst the multitude of psychiatrists I have encountered. A++

Valerie Brodrick: Talked about herself way more than we talked about me. I asked if a certain prescription could be addictive. She said "no!"...well it was. The long waits, the rude staff and her interest in telling of all her traumas wete too much for me. Fortunately, I figured it out aftrt four visits. Look elsewhere.

Kelsey Lynnette: Don't ever expect to get in to your appointment on time, it's at least an hour wait, if not more, 99% of the time. Scheduling is a mess and I've personally had the front desk staff (the male) tell me that I couldn't schedule past 5pm because "we want to go home too", even though there was availability. At first I loved Dr. Parsons, I thought she was helping me, but as time goes on I'm realizing I'm just wasting my money. The one time I mentioned that I felt she wasn't helping me, she got defensive and took it quite personally, and made me feel like I was in the wrong for sharing my thoughts with her. This most recent appointment I had asked to add a particular medication, and she verbally agreed that it would go well with what I'm already taking, but instead wrote a script for a different medication, which has done nothing but cause more problems. I truly believe her own medical issues are interfering with her ability to treat patients effectively, and combined with her office staff I would NOT recommend seeing her. There have be multiple issues with the lack of professionalism, and overall I am highly disappointed. All I wanted was to get the help I need, but it has been made apparent that I will have to look elsewhere for that. She hasn't fired me as a patient, but she probably will if she reads this review. Please take time to find a doctor that fits your needs and actually listens to your feedback, so you don't end up feeling drugged everyday. Hope this helps in your decision making. Good luck.

Monika Chiles: He is never on time! Hasn't been in 2 years. Now he is closing his practice to go treat children 🙄 I only hope they are young enough that they can't tell time because waiting an hour or more in office for your appointment time, every time stinks!

Peggy Lancaster: I am like most of the other low rating former patients. It would be 0 stars if I could. This man tried to force me to have ECT. When I refused, he "fired me as a patient". That would have been fine except for the fact that I was in the hospital and the staff was told I couldn't be released if I didn't have a psychiatrist. He left me in such a state that I was worse than when I first saw him. Thankfully the staff found me an amazing psychiatrist who never once mentioned ECT and helped me through the major depressive episode that I was going through. Dr Weng is an angry, abusive man and should not be allowed to practice.

Leah Conner: He is nothing but a script writer. He was rude and cared nothing about his patients. When he moved offices, all he did was take my $115 SELF PAY payment bc he no longer took insurance....RED FLAG...and then referred me ro an actual Psychiatrist that talks, cares, empathizes and gives you the meds you really need. Dr Weng has supposedly retired. Thank God....he was rude and just wanted money. Poor poor bedside manners too. Glad I got away from him.

Bible Bible: He is a very good doctor.I had him for years.He was friendly,Knowledgable,worked hard.I really enjoyed having him as my doctor.He has a kind heart ❤️

Brenda Morgan: Dr. Weng has been a wonderful Dr. For me. He does not rush me and listens to what I have to say. High Five for Dr. Weng and the office staff The best

Dana Zehr: I was seeing this “doctor” for about 5-8 years. The first time I saw him I thought “wow, not a bad doctor!” Haha, RIGHT!! About the fifth time seeing him, I was asked how I was doing in my college class. I told him it was ok but was having an issue focusing and asked if it would be feasible to have the teacher move me to the front of the classroom. Instead, he gets out his note pad, writes me a prescription for Adderall, WITHOUT any questions or further “testing” and tells me to take it before my class. So to make a long story short, I didn’t even know what adderall was back then and I felt like I was on rocket fuel! People who have ADHD do not feel that way on a stimulat medication and so I told him that. He noticed I was losing weight and started taking more than prescribed because I told him it wasn’t working anymore. Instead of pulling me off the med and noticing I was becoming an addict, he proceeded to tell me to just “take what I needed”. I also agree with the prior poster....he was always commenting on my looks as well and I felt super uncomfortable while in his office. Thanks to this doctor, I now have medication induced bipolar disorder, a 12 year addiction that ruined my marriage and have had to spend the last three years trying to recover from years of stimulat abuse! Thank God I’m now sober and happy and all is good but for a while there, my life was gone. All thanks to this “man”. Horrible doctor and when I saw he was still in practice, it honestly shocked me. He’s a pill pushing, money hungry, sad and selfish man. I pray no one else falls into his trap, as I did. So wish I could leave 0 stars...he’s a horrible doctor!

Jimmie Whitbey: Been seeing Dr. Weng for over a year. I have had great success with my conditions but still have a need to see him when going through a rough time. He listens and best of all, NOT a pill pusher. Probably why others rate him so low. I highly recommend Dr. Weng.

Jonna Stroup: Nothing like having your doctor tell you that you are too beautiful to need medicine and that you shouldn't have any issues in the world because of your looks. Not to mention I had to reschedule a couple visits due to my work schedule and then when I was finally able to see him he made me go cold turkey and took me off my medication and told me that if I cant show up for my appointments then I don't need medicine. I tried to explain to him that we were very short staffed at my job. His exact words were "You are just filled with excuses". He was very angry with me and I felt as if I was being punished. As always he finished our visit with talking about my looks. I reported him to the board! Worst person ever! He does not care!

William Lockhart: Seen this quack about 4 or 5 years ago once...once was enough, it was abundantly clear he did not care. I paid my 50 which should have been 40 because he called himself a “specialist” and he asked me 3 questions 1. How are you 2. Do you have your former prescriptions 3. When do you want to come in again and I left with my prescriptions. I gave a 1 Star because you can’t give 0 stars ....damn you google!!!

KEVIN YOUNG: I only give one star because there is no option to give 0 stars

Sandy Gulley: I have been taking meds for a number of years for bipolar disorder, but am required to see the doctor every three months for refills. I was never in his office more than 5 minutes. He hardly looked up from his computer and made me take my own blood pressure. Would not recommend him for someone with serious issues. It’s obvious he doesn’t really have time for you.

Laura M: I worked for this person for over 4 years and honestly can't believe I stayed as long as I did. He is a hateful, manipulating, degrading man!! He DOESN'T care about his patients he only sees them as "$$" his exact words...they are dollar signs!! I watched him step over a patient having a seizure and he shook his head as I was calling 911 and our receptionist was on the ground with the patient! I would never recommend anyone to this MAN! He is a psychiatrist that needs medication!! It surprises me how he has been in practice for so long! I am glad I no longer work for him!! I walked out, BEST decision I ever made than stay and put up with his mental abuse!! EVERY good review he has on any medical website is because he made the receptionist and I create them to make him appear that he was a good doctor!

Fancie 1982: Rude and impatient.

Jasmin Bieghler: Worst experience of my life. He started me on a new medication a week ago and the medication was sedating me to a point of not being able to function. When I brought my concerns as well as other side effects to him he told me that I needed to find another dr because I was unwilling to continue a medication that rendered me useless to my child. I asked him for natural options and he kicked me out of his office and said to never come back. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Christian Mcmullen: The worst ever..he's a crappy script doctor who doesn't listen or care what going on in your life...a rude little Asian man who needs his butt kicked. I have PTSD from the army and he could care less...he will pack you in like cattle in His tiny waiting room until its standing room only to make as much money as possible while he despenses drugs and doesn't even ask what's going on in your life much let listen... average wait 45 min or more. He takes takes your blood pressure taps on the computer enters info to cover his butt 5 min he sends you out the door with meds that don't work...The positive reviews are bogus padded by himself undoubtedly..don't believe me? Find out for yourself.

k b: Both the office staff and Dr Lee are great. I was very satisfied with my whole appointment experience today. The office is clean and comfortable as well.

Maybe Next Year: There are no options for zero stars. Unbelievable. I am at a loss for words at the lack of professionalism, arrogance, lack of caring, and assumptions. I left from a previous Dr (Whom I really liked) because he refused to switch my medication that does not work.The ONLY medicine he's even tried or suggested. So, I sought Weng. I cannot state what my profession is. Let's say very high stress and very prone to anxiety/PTSD. I can tell you Weng certainly has no idea who, or what degree of person he was speaking too. I read people for a living as well (He would know that if he asked a single thing about me). He asked meaningless questions that appeared more so to vet me. As if he was finding out if he wanted me as a patient. He immediately told me what all he can't, and will not do. When I asked him some questions to better understand him, he said he would not argue with me. I explained to him the medicine wasn't working for me, and I believe there was a better option with the staggering amounts of options available today. (The medicine is not a controlled substance by the way) He became very defensive, and told me "I will not play games and switch medicines. If we do it one time, I can't help you". Amazingly, he also told me I "looked fine". So he doesn't understand how I have any issues. Because I PHYSICALLY looked okay. So if you want him to help you, make sure you look the part? He never asked a single question about my condition. NOT ONE TIME. Then when I was explaining the medicine I'm on is not helping, he said I should "find another doctor. I am just too busy for this". This man is dangerous. Plain and simple. He needs treatment. And I am not saying that to be funny as none of this was humerous for me. A monumental waste of time as a matter of fact. If you care about your well being or family, I would PLEAD, you go to someone else.

Stefanie Barber: Went in for first time appt after losing my last dr i had been with for 10+ yrs. He wouldnt let my mother come into his office with me, even though i had verified she would be able to when i made the appt. He told me at his door jam that i needed to find a different dr and we had words. as i was leaving he told the whole waiting room, "shes crazy". I wouldnt even rate him a first star. Oh and wouldnt recommend him either. Stefanie Barber!

Nick Pappas: I was hesitant to visit Dr. Weng after reading some of the reviews online. But he was local and I have a real problem with doctors being instantly "against" medicines that have truly helped me in the past. I believe that if your mind is that closed off, how will you really help me?Dr. Weng was great! He greeted me with a smile and a joke about the weather, asked me to sit, and listened to why I was there. Yes, he does focus on his laptop and rarely looks up...but I think that's a good thing. I want him to be researching the best ways to help me. If I wanted someone to just listen, I'd see a therapist or find a friend. In the end, he prescribed me a medication that had worked for me in the past. He explained my condition in easy-to-understand terms and even recommended other things I could do in life to improve my situation. All in all, I will be coming back. He's a good doctor. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea, but I can tell he knows his stuff and has your best interests in mind.

Carl Andrews: His time is inportant and he did help meI LIKE HIM he did not half to help meHe did care about me and othersIf you want a hard time then goTo swope park thay now willBe happy to tell you to take this orThat and be happy you got it andThere manners are we are low costThay cram you in like a can of beensAnd the 2 hr wait just to change yourMeds and thay give you a 4 monthScript then change it and thay nowChange dr it seams every 6 months

Gena Jones: Horrible. Degrading. Very unprofessional. Shocked.

Pamela Cervantes: He was a Great doctor.

Nichole Phillips: He was my psychiatrist when he worked out of Raymore MO. He is very missed. He is very patient and explains things really well. He takes his time and listens to his patients.
