Anxiety Reviews
Trying to book a reputable in-person doctor pre-pandemic was a logistical nightmare and ultimately never happened with my schedule and anxiety/depression (stemming from undiagnosed ADHD and burnout). So the pandemic changed my life in many ways than one including the ability for virtual appointments. Though it was definitely a learning curve trying to find the right fit for me and booking with various providers, it was a breath of fresh air when I finally found the right doctor. Dr. Nicholas Balyint is extremely patient, empathetic and through our sessions we found what my underlying concerns were and went right into how to tackle them. He laid out all of my options from holistic to pharmaceutical and answered all of my 101 questions while encouraging me to go with what fit my lifestyle the best. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to get treatment, albeit later in life then expected. I recommend him to my friends, colleagues and family!
Life-Changing - I've been trying to navigate my ADHD/ anxiety diagnosis for years. Dealing with other professionals has been daunting; ADHD in women's health is often overlooked, and I felt discounted and discouraged. I was referred to Nicholas by a close friend after expressing my frustration. Nicholas is a wonderful and knowledgeable professional. After working with him for just a couple of months, I finally had a medication schedule that worked for me. Visits aren't the only support that he offers; Nicholas always responds quickly to emails, so any questions I have regarding treatment are answered promptly, which is great for someone with anxiety. So glad I switched to him!
Nicholas Balyint, PMHNP-BC is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful and compassionate in his approach. From our very first appointment I felt a huge relief that my concerns and worries from past treatment experiences were truly being heard. His genuine passion to help his patients succeed is evident, he truly focuses on the patient rather than a standardized treatment plan. He helps me to understand my options always and maintains a plan that works best for me. I now have the tools to stay on track in managing my anxiety / ADHD and peace of mind knowing I have a support system I can trust!
