Kingwood Psychiatry Reviews ( 208 )

  1. I started seeing Dr. Trujillo and honestly he’s 10/10. Easy to talk to, understanding, very knowledgeable, and he validated how I was feeling, and he explained exactly how the medication works and what options we had. He made sure I was ok with the plan instead of him deciding what to do. Definitely will recommend.

  2. Been going here for years they actually care about my mental health. Hard to find a place like this. They actually listen to me about medicine side effects & work on the best fit for me.

  3. I’ve been w/Kingwood Psychiatry since 2016. They’ve been the ONLY ones that listen to me as a patient-my signs /symptoms/effects of medications & adjust accordingly. They’ve managed my medication very well & for the first time I’ve felt …

  4. I have been a patient here for 2-3 years and I have been seeing Joshua Trujillo he is wonderful! I love the telehealth meetings super convenient. My whole experience with the staff has been good they are all so helpful and never leave you …

  5. Fantastic practice. .my needs were met with compassion and understanding…came from another practice..Taz Thomas…never go to that P.O.S….if you want nice people that care go to this place.

  6. Hope you like waiting 40 minutes for your telemedicine appointment and then charged for a missed appointment when you can’t spend your day waiting for your NP.

  7. Friendly,helpful,knowledgeable front office staff. Docs and nurses amazing as well. Calls answered or returned in timely manner. So greatful to be a patient here.

  8. I Waited 50mins passed my appointment time to be seen. Than he left three times during my session. There website is a joke. They tell you to go there to change appointments but you have no way to change it once signed in.

  9. Tired of having meds thrown at me to see what happens, I began trying other meds and when asked about being prescribed one that works great for me was told no because it didn’t fit my “diagnosis”. This place is exactly why psychiatry has such a bad name.

  10. Very rude and unhelpful office staff. It is next to impossible to speak with a doctor or nurse practitioner even if you are an established patient. Office is dirty and long wait times should be expected, despite needing to make appointments months in advance.

  11. The office staff and the. Doctors very rude and careless never answer the massages for appointments for refills always they said we will call back and they didn’t to get the refill prescriptions you need to all many times and wait for ages till they respond really i never saw people careless like them and lyres .like them

  12. Hands down, THE WORST experience with medical professionals EVER. They do not answer the phone, they don’t return phone calls, and once you get an appointment the wait is forever. Right now i have been trying to get medical records; two …

  13. This place has saved my LIFE SERIOUSLY NO JOKE ONE BIT REALLY TRULY SAVED My LIFE. Drs and office staff are ALWAYS VERY SWEET AND HELPFUL. If anyone says negative anything it’s because they’re bitter and frankly being self centered because The front office staff that works there are PHENOMENAL For REAL. God Bless king wood psychology

  14. Paris is great. The problem is that you can never talk to a person when you are trying to set an appointment. Time you have to wait at the Kingwood location is about 3 hours… so plan for that if you go there. Sorry to have to transfer to another group but cannot talk to a person.

  15. The Dr are good, But the office manager is horrible they always try to find a way to say you missed a appointment knowing I haven’t and try to collect more money Hugh rip off , Finding a new office staff something up, Sorry to leave my Dr …

  16. Dr. Venkatesh saved my life. If you’re struggling with depression and opiate abuse, this is the doctor to see. I went to several and recovery wouldn’t stick till I went to him. Thank you Dr Venkatesh.

  17. They did a full urine drug screen before the I could see the staff. I felt a little violated. Polite staff though. They gave me some drug samples without a written prescription. Having prescription drugs without your name on them is definitely a felony.

  18. I have been to this facility for the past 4 years with my child receiving treatment. I have always been treated well and informed of what diagnosis is as well as had the opportunity to accept medication or reject it. I will be returning …

  19. Great experience, wonderful staff. Everyone was very helpful and understanding of my needs especially Tracy. The office was very clean as well. Would definitely recommend anyone in search of a good psych clinic.

  20. the only good techs at that place whilst I was there was ms helda(?), ms barbra, ms Q and ms molly. Those were the only ones who actually felt as if they were the only ones who actually cared about their job, and about the patients as-well. …

  21. I don’t think there is anything wrong with this place. Dr. Venkatesh is very nice and has helped me a great deal. I’ve never had to wait very long to see him or his assistant. In fact, my entire visit is usually no more than an hour from …

  22. Absolutely not a good experience for me. They don’t listen or care about what you have to say. They will prescribe things that you said have already not worked for you in the past. They also will prescribe drugs you can’t afford. They also …

  23. Horrible customer service! The office manager is the most unreasonable person I have ever dealt with in a professional manner. They closed the office early and failed to contact me before hand. They claimed to have called but I never …

  24. THEY NEVER ANSWER THE PHONE! i had a family emergency (death) and couldn’t make my appointment, i was pretty much told oh well, there needs to be a 24 hour cancellation so you owe us $50

  25. I love Dr. Kristi Sikes and Kingwood Psychiatry! They go above and beyond to make you feel like a person and not just a patient. Their practice really meets my needs and I feel if it weren’t for Dr. Sikes, I would be in a much worse place. Thank you for helping me 🙂 Keep up the great work!!

  26. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. I haven’t even seen the Dr. because I keep getting canceled on. Two cancellations and one reschedule and NOTHING. Good luck trying to contact any office staff or getting a straight answer. I …

  27. My name is Tracy Russell and I’ve been here for years. I absolutely love this place!! Brandy is the best and hardest worker. She deserves a giant raise. Place is perfect omg perfect. Emily is cool to. They are best in the office

  28. Peris Thuo has been wonderful! She answers emails and has been extremely helpful with my other health problems. Dr. V and Peris are and have been such a great team for me.

  29. Staff is courteous and knows my name when I walk through the door. Rarely ever do I wait longer than 5-10 min to get into my scheduled appt. They keep me updated and answer any questions I have on the online portal. I’ve been a patient for over 2 yrs and will continue to be one.

  30. During the 3 years I have been seeking help with these doctors, I have received the worst experience every time I go. All they do is call you in an hour after your specific appointment time (late) ask you how you’re doing, then give you a …

  31. Absolute scam, they set you up to miss telemetry appointments and charge 50 to 150 per missed appointment. With over 400 appointments a day. It’s It’s goldmine pyramid scheme . They’ll lie right to your face. How is this business legal ????

  32. If I could give less stars I would. The people that work there are very rude talk over you and do not listen. I tried for 3 weeks to get an appointment at either location to finally be told oh well your address is wrong and it keeps …

  33. They have charges my credit card without my authorization for $439.99 when I did not even have appointments. They have just been charging me because they can. Tried to call them and they have no one to answer the phones. At all.

  34. Called to request an appointment, took one month to get appointment. Got a call while I was AT the appointment (15 minutes before scheduled time), that the Doctor had to cancel. Not conducive for professional business customers.

  35. Edit: I received an apology from the head psychiatrist at the Kingwood office. And since my below experience the office has set up a patient portal for you to contact office staff about appointments and billing where they do return …

  36. This has been the best Psychiatry Clinic, I have seen several therapist in the clinic as well as been through a PHP Program in which the clinic staff has has seen me through. They are all. Very nice and understanding to my conditions …

  37. Joshua is the best. He makes patients feel like friends and truly cares about your well being. He will laugh/cry with you but above all else, he is so knowledgeable.

  38. I have been going to Dr. Vs office for years and I mostly see Joann. I have always received the best professional care!! There office staff has always been courteous to me. I would recommend them for any of your mental health needs.

  39. Doctors are not empathetic nor do they care about your feedback – they have their mind made up about what they believe and don’t care about what you have to say about how you feel. When I said something my doctor would say that wasn’t true …

  40. If you have a true psychiatric issue you NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I understand that some people have had a great experience with this facility. HOWEVER, if you look at most of the reviews you will see that experience is very rare. …

  41. This is an awesome practice I’ve been going for nine years the staff is very friendly and helpful and the dr and nurse practitioners actually listen to you and your problems I would not want to go anywhere else

  42. Dr. Venkatesh and his staff are extremely knowledgeable, caring and professional. I couldn’t be happier with the practice! They spend plenty of time with me to address any medical issues that I might have and take time to review details of …

  43. Needed to contact them for a referral. No direct contact phone number. Highly inconvenient, and counter productive to providing healthcare in a timely manner.

  44. I was more than relieved to have found this place!!! The entire experience was well beyond expectations and the Dr.takes time to actually listen to you without shoving another pill down my throat! You all are so appreciated for all that you have down.

  45. I’ve tried to call for 2 days now to get my son’s prescription that he has to have called over to the pharmacy. They answered the first time and sent the prescription to the wrong place. I’ve tried calling back since but no one will answer …

  46. I was a patient of Dr. Venkatesh and am returning to the area. Since treating with him, I turned 65 and have Medicare as my insurance. I called for an appointment, having filled out the paperwork online. The staff was very dismissive …

  47. While the doctors are nice, no one wants to answer your calls EVER. They would rather you go through the patient portal, which sucks when you forget your username for it and can’t recover the stupid account. They used to not have a “direct …

  48. If I could give 0 stars I would solely due to the terrible office staff and office manager Brandy who has absolutely no managerial skills. The billing department should be fired because they overcharged every time and that is their one job. …

  49. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE! I’ve been coming for about 5 years now and it was the best decision I’ve made. My life has completely changed around for the better. The front office has always been great and the doctor I see is INCREDIBLE! Thank you for everything Kingwood Psychiatry staff!

  50. I liked this place. The front desk girls were professional. I didn’t have to wait very long and I really liked the doctor. He made my teenage daughter feel very comfortable and he was very easy to talk to. When I have had to leave voicemails, I have received a call back the same day.

  51. My middle school son was referred here to a specific nurse practioner by his therapist. I only found out that the appointment my son had was with someone else when I was emailed the 24hr confirmation. I called, they said that the policy was …

  52. Very hard to get a hold of someone..even after you leave a message. Its nearly impossible to cancel OR reschedule with a 24 hr notice. BUT rest assured THEY will be billing you outrageous fees of you don’t cancel on time. Do yourself a favor a go somewhere else.

  53. I have to agree with the previous comments in regards to the wait times. They are horrendous and God forbid that you have to take smaller kids and their siblings. I make appointments and wait a minimum an hour to see the doctor each and …

  54. I have went to the website to register for a new patients. I haven’t heard from anyone yet. They don’t answer the phone. I tried to make an appointment online and it was denied. I will look elsewhere. I believe this place is closed down.

  55. This place is absolute garbage. My visits were not but 5 minutes long. The psychiatrists there DO NOT listen to you and just prescribe medication without your say so or they will change your medication without your permission. If you need a …

  56. UNPROFESSIONAL and PETTY. I have been trying to get an appointment for months their portal system does not work properly. After two months of finally scheduling a visit I show up 7 minutes late they tell me to come back in another month. I …

  57. I’ve been with a patient at Kingwood Psychiatry going on 2 years. Joann has saved my life. I trust her as my practitioner and I trust her judgement when it comes to my medication. Dr. V is outstanding and an AMAZING professional who I trust …

  58. There has been a BIG improvement on this facility. The staff greets you when you enter office, HUMANS are answering the phone and are so willing to help you instantly.Had an issue with something with my medication and the lady with the cool …

  59. Amazing practice and the staff is very knowledgable and understanding. We needed somewhere to take our child and our first visit was very thorough. They took the time to ask us many questions and then observed and interacted with our son! …

  60. I waited for over 3 hours to be told if i could be seen or not for an appointment i had. I love Emily but the office is absolutely awful. They say I dont have a referral on file and when i show them proof i do, im told “we are waiting to …

  61. I really like my Dr, and I have never had a problem with the office staff, they are professional and nice. I actually self pay to come here as my insurance is not accepted. I do have a huge problem with getting my electronic prescriptions …

  62. My son has been a patient of Emily Brozgal’s since 2015, and we liked her so much that we followed her from Dr. Sunkureddi’s office to Kingwood Psychiatry when she changed practices a few years ago. We still adore her, and would prefer to …

  63. Not only the worse desk reception ever, but medical staff is bad as well. The first thing you see when you walk in is the giant DO NOT CALL US sign. This should be a warning to find somewhere else. …

  64. Absolutely the worst office. the office manager “Brandy A” has no idea what’s going on with place. She needs a new job. I use to sit and what for over an hour and a half for my appointments for myself and my kids. I could never get a call …

  65. Dr. Graves is a complete joke. Every virtual meeting I had with him he was laying down on his couch. And I mean completely laying down. Does not care about patient help, just ready to be done with the meeting and go back to laying down. …

  66. The worst service ever. They never answer the phone. The answering machine says “leave a detailed message and we will call you right back”. Yeah right. Four messages and six days later still no call back. I had to drive there in person to …

  67. The front office staff is unkind and unprofessional especially considering that they work in a medical setting. Furthermore, the office manager not only is extremely difficult to get her to return your phone calls, but she’s also extremely …

  68. would not recommend dr. perumal. She pushes too many pills and then gets frustrated when you say they didn’t work / that they make you vomit, disregards half of what you say and then asks the same question three times in one visit, …

  69. Amazing psychiatrist (Dr. Venkatesh) and therapist (Ms. Van de Laar) . After having gone through different psychiatrists and therapists previously, I can say from experience that they are the only ones I trust with my mental health! They are skilled and have a significant amount of experience to back their expertise. 100% recommend.

  70. Almost didn’t go due to several bad reviews. However, decided to go upon recommendation of both pediatrician and counselor. Met with Dr. Brown, she was pleasant, professional and to the point. She read over my previous assessments for my …

  71. We had been thru so many Drs offices trying to find help for our son. We felt defeated and lost then a close friend recommended Kingwood Psychiatry. Dr Venkatesh and Aaron Byrd, listened with care, explained different aspects thoroughly and changed our lives. Our son is Thriving! Highly recommend this office.

  72. So glad I found Kingwood Psychiatry. Josh really takes the time to listen to my concerns and needs. I feel like he really hears what I have to say and takes the action needed. Telemedicine has been extremely smooth and convenient.

  73. Since I have started seeing Dr. Venkatesh and Joshua Trujillo last year, they have been very accommodating to my meds for my therapeutic needs. Joshua is always on time for my telemedicine appointments and definitely takes into …

  74. THINK BEFORE YOU REVIEW. I have been a patient since March 2017. Not once have I seen anything of the activities mentioned in these one-star “non-reviews” (just self-centered, angry patients who I would imagine went home and wrote one …

  75. Unfortunately i came a cross this unprofessional group of people called ” psychiatrist ” they just care about the money. The patient is secondary, be ready for misdiagnosed, lies, unprofetionalism and to manipulate you and convenience …

  76. Based on what I have seen at the front desk I’m giving KP a five star rating. I accompany my cousin to her appointments from time to time. She has told me she loves her Dr- which is great due to her making a complete turn around from when …

  77. My experience with Kingwood Psychiatry for the past 3 years has been exceptional. I am truly grateful for everything the staff and providers at Kingwood Psychiatry have done to help me recover from a severe mental health crisis. I’m not sure what I would do without this place.

  78. I’ve been going to Kingwood Psychiatry for about 5 years. They are amazing! I’ve always felt very welcome there. Everyone I’ve talked to (and who has worked with me) has been very helpful, polite, and kind. I highly recommend them! They have made a huge difference in my life!

  79. The best ! Especially Erika that has handled my calls with kindness, compassion and grace. She’s also a pro at her job. Always returns phone calls and follows up to make sure I’m taken care of. Joanne and emily are the kindest …

  80. If I could give zero stars I would they are not helpful at all!! They only called me once in the morning and when I called them back I had to leave my name and number for someone to call me back, it took them about 30 min. to return my call …

  81. Brandy Aguilar (Phillips) 🐳 is a very hateful, rude office manager. As I explained to her over the phone, before she hung up on me, someone scheduled an appointment for me WITHOUT my consent. Brandy 🐳 says my no show charges will remain …

  82. I love this clinic. I have been seeing Joshua Trijullo there for over a year. He really listens and works hard on my treatment plan. I started seeing him after a really bad experience with my previous doctor. He was understanding and kind …

  83. Difficulty in getting a response in a timely manner. Also, be careful and review your charges on your account since they will overcharge, double charge, and charge for cancelled visits. …

  84. Dr. V and my NP Peris Thuo are amazing. The first time I came in I was with someone (young white male) who I think was a student or new to the profession for my intake. I didn’t feel like he was understanding the issue or asking the right …

  85. I had a telemedicine appointment at 9am today as a new patient. I waited online until 9:40, called the office and was told the doc is running behind. They then called me a couple minutes before 10 and stated that my paperwork had not been …

  86. It is impossible to make an appointment through their portal and there is no way to speak to someone at their office. Defenitily not a good sign. I won’t risk putting my daughter’s mental health in their hands.

  87. I really liked my doctor here, the problem was that I wasn’t able to actually see him. So their system works like this: on your initial appointment you meet with a doctor who establishes a treatment plan and then you’ll never see him/her …

  88. I see a PA here and have for three years. Alyssa is the best doc I have ever had. She truly cares about me and my mental health. Never have I been so happy with an office. The gals that set up appointments are quick, professional and …

  89. I am satisfied with the care and attention the staff offers me. They understand my condition (which is rare) and are wiling to go to any lengths to provide me with the care I need. Joshua is personable and really listens to my concerns and is very knowledgeable of the medications needed to keep me stabilized.

  90. I thought I was fighting my demons until I lost both my parents and brother all within a year and a half and to say the least I was at the edge of the cliff looking down until I sat and talked and got the help/medications I needed,Without there help no telling where I’d be today..

  91. I tried 3 times to make an appointment and the woman on the phone was so rude each time that I had an anxiety attack. This is the only psychiatrist anywhere near me that is covered by my insurance and I can’t work up the nerve to even make an appointment with them.

  92. I saw a psychiatrist at Kingwood psychiatry when I lost my insurance and had to go off my meds. I had explained the situation and they were able to get me an appointment within the same week, it was affordable and the psychiatrist that I …

  93. Great place to handle your medical needs. The whole staff shows great compassion and understanding for whatever issues that are occurring in your life. The officer manager , Brandy, was a great help when I was having issues with my …

  94. I’ve only seen 2 people in this office, Joshua Trujillo and Brechitje Van de Laar. I am extremely pleased with both of them. I also like doing the telemedicine. Its has worked out very well for me. One tiny thing, please change the music you have to hear while on hold for scheduling. It is painful to listen to.

  95. You have to call at least a dozen times to speak to anyone, they failed to notify my daughter’s doctor no longer works there canceling our appointment and she was without meds. They fail to return phone calls with needed information. …

  96. The people that work at Kingwood Psychiatry have no consistency in communication. They’ll tell you one thing, then cancel your appointment the day of for reasons no one previously explained. Additionally, the scheduling module on their …

  97. I have nothing but positive things to say about the staff at this office. From the front office staff, to the providers that we have worked with, everyone has been accommodating, helpful, professional and made sure that the needs of the patient were met. Thank you!

  98. I have been going to this place for many years now, they really do understand they help you the best they can,my doctor Venkatesh Athi is an amazing doctor and my NP Emily Brozgal is very kind and treats you like a person,I highly recommend Kingswood psychiatry

  99. My daughter was diagnosed here and has been treated here for over 9 years. I have no complaints. We see Emily and I can’t say enough positive things about her! She is absolutely wonderful and her caring heart is evident. The other doctors …

  100. Don’t bother trying to set up an appointment by calling or using their website. Their schedule shows all days and hours available. I’ve been trying to help my mom set up a follow up visit to refill her medication and they will not answer …

  101. The office manager is going to single handely bring this practice down. These Drs have a code of ethics to follow per their state license and the staff counts in that!!!! They are legally resonsible for how they act. Dont go here if u have …

  102. I waited 72 hours for my profile to be “completed” only to be directed to everything online or by email. This office is very non personable. I was able to get in touch with another doctor, make an appointment and actually talk to a real …

  103. I look forward to my appointments with Josh. He has become my friend I love feeling good about life myself and to all my tomorrow’s. Thank you Josh for figuring me out.

  104. Very nice staff, Emily Brozgal genuinely cares about the well being of her patients and is very knowledgeable about what she us doing and polite, nice place and will continue to go there. Very professional and like i said before Emily Brozgal is exceptional in her profession. Keep up the great work.

  105. All virtual, site needs to be updated to reflect that. Spent all afternoon and morning filling out information only to be informed no in office being seen. Would be nice to have seen that on the website and saved me some time.

  106. My 54 yr old down syndrome daughter uses Emily and has for years. Emily is very professional and the meds still work. The only problem is the providers are on a very limited time schedule.

  107. I was a little hesitant about on on-line psychiatry appt and feeling like I wouldn’t be understood or judged. Kingwood took my BCBS insurance, so I figured it was worth a try. In my online appt, I was immediately at ease with NP Boresboom. …

  108. Aaron is very caring and considerate, considers all factors in my treatment and is always on the ball. It is also very convenient that I can meet with him remotely instead of having to drive far.

  109. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need. My daughter and I see Emily and personally, I think she’s amazing! She always has a big smile on her face. I just all around love her ❤️

  110. The team at Kingwood Psych are top notch. Dr.Trujillo has been extremely attentive and meticulous in managing my care plan. Always approachable, affable, and supportive.

  111. I would not recommend Kingwood Psychiatry to anyone. We had many challenges with them especially the rude staff in the front office. The Business office is very difficult to deal with if you have billing inquiries. The Therapist Brechjte …

  112. Love the convenience of telehealth visits and Joanne Negron is so absolutely wonderful. We are currently working on adding a new medication and getting the dose right. I’ve been seeing her as long as I became a patient at Kingwood Psychiatry, many years ago ! I absolutely love her!

  113. It’s 2023 and this business does not accept debit or credit cards at all if you have an in-person appointment. You must pay cash or store your card info on their website. Then they will charge you a day before an appointment and if you …

  114. The doctor, Josh Trojillo is wonderful. However the process to get in is irritating. The paperwork online is a pain. They had my insurance weeks before and charged me the wrong (higher fee) then charged me a drug screen test. They sent me …

  115. Both my daughter and I have used Emily Brozgal for several years for our ADHD medication management. We have done all of our appts. via telemed since Covid which has worked great for us since we moved from the area. Emily is warm, patient …

  116. Our telemed visits are always thorough. Nurse practitioner Aron Byrd is very caring and wants the best for our daughter. We are pleased with our current care since the doctor left the practice

  117. Dr. Trujillo is amazing and truly listens to his patients. Dealing with calling the office and not ever having someone pick up-you HAVE to put info on portal-can be a huge pain. Love they he does telehealth.

  118. I have been working with Emily Brozgal for over a year now and she is an excellent provider. My 10-year-old son is nonverbal and autistic. His behaviors have changed throughout the last few years and Emily has been so knowledgeable, kind, …

  119. I have been seeing Dr Joshua Trujillo for about two years. I love that he listens to you and takes his time to talk to his patients and not rush you through your appointment. The first visit I had with him he put me on some medicine and it …
