Finally, a psychiatrist who truly listens and understands your needs! Dr. Daniel Kim is the FOURTH psychiatrist I have used since 2016 and I feel lucky to have found him. I first used a Doctor under my insurance (very limited psychiatrist resource pool), and was terribly unimpressed. Since my mental health was important, I decided to go the self-pay route and found two more doctors who both HEARD what I was saying, but didn’t truly listen or understand. Dr. Kim is different. He is kindhearted and a real person. When Dr. Kim expresses empathy, I can feel he truly means it and is not robotic like

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. My provider was clearly fresh out of medical school and did not know what she was talking about. I have had much more comprehensive understanding of mental health from primary care doctors.
The office charged me a $200 cancellation fee for an appointment that was never confirmed and now seems to be refusing to call me back around this issue. I have been calling and leaving messages nearly every day for a week and have heard absolutely nothing.
A complete disgrace or a medical establishment. I wouldn’t recommend this office to anyone under any circumstance.

My therapist recommended me to this place when I indicated a likely need for a psychiatrist. I called and waited five days for a call back. They set me up with an appt more than a month away and today the doctor just called to cancel. Dr. Sawa made it abundantly clear she didn't care that I had already waited a month for the appt and did not express any interest in knowing whether I would have to wait another month for another appt. I let her know that I thought it was quite discourteous and she said, "Yeah, well, I have a schedule conflict."
Was paired with Dr. Dhand following the previous debacle

I've had a positive experience with Meridian and Dr. Romero. He doesn't play games and he tells you what you need to hear to get better. Most reviewers just post their bad experiences, but it's important to remember that we all experience people differently. As with all things in life, what works for me may not work for you. Don't base your healthcare decisions entirely on internet reviews.

It has taken me over a year to recover from the mental anguish that Meridian caused.
My therapist consistently questioned my “dedication to healing” (I have a chronic illness that sometimes does not allow me to leave the house) and told me she was “pissed off at me” during a session because I asked to go down to every other week to focus on my physical health. Not to mention, she placed guilt on me for everything I opened up about and gave me false information (told me 4 glasses of wine per WEEK was “binge drinking”)
The front desk staff, specifically Dale, was rude and condescending

Dr. Wong is bad at her job and doesn't care enough to listen to you, your experience, how you're doing, or that the medications she has prescribed have severe side effects. Also went on vacation for over 2 weeks without notifying me so when I had severe side effects she was impossible to reach.
Dr. Romero re-traumatized me. He blamed me for my mental health struggles and spoke me incredibly disrespectfully. He was terrible for my mental health and heightened my desire to end my life. Avoid these expensive quacks at all costs.

I visit Meridian for my therapy and my psychiatrist (two women). They’re fantastic. I pay a lot of attention to peer reviews and if you’re looking for either service, I highly recommend Meridian. Please don’t let the average score deter you. I started looking from scratch 1.5 years ago and it’s been the best decision since moving to Chicago.
