At the end of your evaluation, your doctor will provide information about your diagnosis and create a collaborative treatment plan.

Atlas Psychiatry is a respectable practice with many knowledgeable, friendly, and available doctors on staff to fit your specific need. I have been a patient of Dr. Pejic for over a year now. His expert advise and willingness to listen to my input as a patient has produced a beneficial outcome for me and my mental health, far beyond what I ever expected. I am so pleased with the relationship I have built, the care and understanding I have recieved, and the mutual hope for a better life in the future with the help of Dr. Pejic and his staff. They are genuine and offer today's top of the line psychiatric

Update: they charged me $360 for this.
Old patient of Pejic's, made an appointment to try and talk to him and get info on getting back on medication. After a two and a half week wait they proceeded to call me 30 min before my appointment and tell me the appointment I made was wrong so they had to cancel it and reschedule and update my info. New rescheduled appointment was a full 3 weeks later while I am in need of medication the entire time. The 3 weeks pass and guess what! They call THE DAY OF the new appointment to tell me the updated info THAT I GAVE THEM 3 WEEKS AGO means Pejic can't see me

Dr. Pejic as well as his staff are extremely caring and supportive. They go above and beyond the call of duty in trying to meet their respective patient's needs. I would certainly recommend Dr. Pejic over any other psychiatrist in this city as he is dedicated and truly cares about his patients. Unlike some of his colleagues, Dr. Pejic is not all about the money. Rather, he takes his time with each patient and he strives to achieve a balance wherein the appropriate medication is prescribed and the patient is highly functioning and productive while not being overly medicated. Moreover, the staff

I was a patient of Dr. Pejic for a few years and spent thousands of dollars on treatment and medication. He was not a good physician to me at all and, in hindsight, I wonder if he's even a good person in general. When I began seeing him, I was in the throes of a crippling addiction and was involved in a very toxic relationship with an abusive person. One of the first things I noticed about him was that Dr. Pejic seemed to be incredibly financially motivated. So much so that he suggested I borrow money from my abuser to pay for his sessions when I couldn't afford them. That in itself was so egregious

This office is not about patient care or advocacy. Cash pay only is this first red flag. Medication focused not therapy- you pay for medication and you get your choice. Dr Pejic specifically is very inappropriate and seems to have a very untoward angle. If you value mental health avoid this office and get actual treatment elsewhere.

I've worked with multiple doctors at this practice and they're the best! I'm so grateful to have found doctors that actually care and have taken the time to figure out my issues before loading me up on a bunch of medication. The staff are also super friendly, and the office is so nice that I feel like I'm checking into a nice hotel instead of going to a doctor's office, lol. I always leave feeling so much better than I came.
