Im appalled at some of the other reviews, they must be mistaken. This doctor is amazing and id refer a family member to her. Takes a very individual approach. When I came to her I was in a very bad way and she got me into outpatient care and was very conservative about medication.

Stay away from this place. She is not compassionate or respectful of her patients or their time. You will be met with arrogance and a rude demeanor. She also counters your genuine concerns with argumentative comments instead of trying to understand them. She rushes through visits providing no information or explanations. Dont waste your time meeting with someone who doesnt care for her patients or that her demeanor can have a negative effect on people who are already having a hard time. If your concerns are no longer to care for or help people please retire!

I still cannot wrap my head around my experience with Dr. Tchikindas. First off, let me start off by saying Ive been to many Psychiatrists and Psychologists throughout the years. I move around for work so I constantly have to find a new doctor in my network wherever I happen to be at the time. I was told by her office that she was in network. This was untrue. To this day Im still receiving bills for over $350 from her office for ONE visit. A visit that left me traumatized and thats being kind with my words. I had a literal PANIC ATTACK in her office when she got angry with me and told me I was wrong about previous diagnosis Id received and never to question her credentials. I never once questioned her credentials? But lets get into what lead to this. Upon arrival I waited over 20 minutes before I was seen by her. Never waited that long to see a psychiatrist or psychologist. I understand sometimes, time with patients may go over, but I bring this up because the first thing she does as I entered the room was accuse me of being late. I was taken back for a moment but thought, okay maybe the receptionist misinformed her as Ive been waiting here for a while. I even thought maybe I heard her incorrectly. Nope. I didnt mishear her, she repeated herself 2 more times. The accusations happened in the middle of the session and at the end of the session, that again, I was late. Lets move onto the actual session. As we began to discuss my life, etc. she immediately labeled me as bipolar and said I have a mood disorder. That it seems Ive been struggling with my mood my whole life. I barely discussed my life and feelings yet. Why? Because shes making me answer a questionnaire every time I bring up anything remotely close to the topic of my mood. I barely got to talk about my feelings and she was already writing me a script for Abilify. I was shocked. But we continued. Mind you we only had 45 minutes because again, she accused me of being late and had to remind me for whatever reason. I digress. The session started with me talking and a questionnaire. She kept pushing me to talk about my mood. I told her several times my mood isnt an issue. She asked me had I ever had mood swings. I said Probably when I was younger but not so much anymore. Im sure most people have them every once in a while for various reasons, but they are not common for me. Saying that was a mistake because this dictated the entire session. Everything I tried to talk about came back to my mood. To sum it up it was basically like Oh you felt anxious? I think youre bipolar! Immediate diagnosis. I continued on. I disagreed with her and stated shes the first person from the many Ive seen that has labeled me as bipolar. I told her Ive already been diagnosed with a few things (I stated them), and Im mainly coming here to seek treatment for those diagnosis. She immediately got defensive. She pointed to her plaques and diplomas on the wall and started to develop an angry tone with me. I dont want to say scream but it was literally an octave below a scream. She was upset. She said how dare I question her credentials. Mind you I never questioned her credentials? At this point I was thinking in my head that maybe shes not a good fit. I started to feel myself get hot (thats how my panic attacks start). I felt the flare up and started to tear up. She noticed and her tone began to ease up. She told me never to question her credentials and to never discuss prior medicines that another psychiatrist wanted to try me out on. She told me that shes the one handling me now and then went onto a mild rant about how I obviously am bipolar and wanted to place me on Abilify. I was so confused/upset. I came in there seeking help. Its hard to have to CONSTANTLY open up to a NEW doctor EVERY time I have to move & try to find a new psychiatrist. Never again. Do not go here! If I could write more, I would. If youre looking for a bipolar diagnosis or a panic attack during your session due to being basically bullied while being seen, this is the place for you!
