What Our Patients Say

Christina Alfano
I want to give credit to this facility. Every experience ive had with staff has been amazing. Also, Jason D. has been wonderful. He listens to his patients and in my own opinion, he shows he cares. He doesn't try to pull you in a direction as far as medication therapy that he thinks will work for you. He is open to trying new things that you suggest but willing to stick with what is working for you. I switched to regional after my previous doctor's office refused to take my insurance, demanding I pay out of pocket for mandatory tests at an inflated cost. I am glad I switched. Its a refreshing change. A huge thanks to Jason and the staff for not treating your patients as a number.

Where to start! Dr. Pleener and his team are the best around. I came to Dr. Pleener 3 years ago suffering from severe panic attacks that made it near impossible to live a functional life. Since day 1, he has shown genuine care in not only alleviating my suffering but giving me the wellness tools to live a much healthier and fulfilling life. It’s hard to find quality care in medicine. When doctors see so many patients, it’s easy to feel like a cog in their machine. Dr. Pleener gives you his full undivided attention for the time you are together and works with your preferences to come up with the best possible solution for you. He takes pride in his work and sincerely cares about helping you. I’m very lucky I found him when I did. His team is also great and responsive. Always have had a good experience with his staff. You will be in good care here.

Joey is by far the best therapist I’ve ever had, for the way he helps me look at things and the way he has helped me trust myself more. I feel I am much more mindful of being kind to my own self. Joey & Regional psychiatry are invaluable to me + where I am in my life right now. I know I am blessed for this level of care and feel very grateful. Jacqui*

Dawn Lee is an amazing therapist. I made more progress with her in a couple months than in years of previous therapy. The whole practice is run very efficiently and I recommend any one of the therapists. They are great with follow up, and the front staff is very prompt with responses and wonderful at customer service. I am a psych NP myself, and good psych care can be hard to find. Very pleased here.
Tiffany Cruz
My psychiatric evaluation with Regional Psychiatry was a really positive experience from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, well-organized, and easy to follow, which helped ease any initial nerves I had going in. The provider was extremely friendly, patient, and made me feel comfortable opening up without any pressure or judgment. I felt genuinely heard and understood throughout the appointment. Overall, it was a very professional and supportive experience, and I would definitely recommend Regional Psychiatry to anyone looking for a thorough and welcoming evaluation.
