I've been a patient of Dr. Sheehan's for 10 years and feel fortunate to have found such an intelligent, compassionate doctor to oversee my treatment. It is true that there are days when you will find yourself waiting a long time (usually, when there is a delay, it will be about an hour or so), but over the years I have noticed that it is because he does take his time with each and every one of his patients. Many psychiatrists will just take a quick glance at patients, ask them if they're ok and just write Rx refills and send them on their respective ways, but this is absolutely not the case with Dr. Sheehan. There are days when my visits are quick and I am on my way, and there are days when my visits take longer - every time I have to sit and wait a bit past my appointment time in order to be seen, I remind myself that sometimes I'm the one who needs a little extra time, and I really do feel lucky that he is the kind of doctor who cares enough to take that time. I do understand not everyone has the luxury of taking the chance they'll have to wait past their appointment time - when I know I cannot wait very long due to work, etc. I try to get the earliest appointment time available, there tends to be less chance of delay then. Otherwise, if my appointment is midday/afternoon, I just take a half day at work so I am not worried about getting back late. Bottom line: Dr. Sheehan is excellent, and worth the wait.

Waited over an hour for my appointment!

Amazing psychiatrist. Hard to find a good one. But the wait is so awful! All my appointments I’m waiting AT LEAST 2 HOURS!!!! So you have to make sure you have absolutely nothing planned that day or else you will be late for it. And the lady who you talk to on phone for dr Sheehan is not the nicest she gave me so much attitude when I called for more meds and appointment.

Waiting to see Dr. Sheehan (vs. seeing another doctor with a shorter waiting list) was one of the best decisions I've made in years. With a strong background in psychopharmacology (from what I gathered reading online), I knew I would be getting a highly educated professional... what I did not expect was how personal and sincere he has been with me, really becoming someone I see as an ally in a long-waged battle to maintain mental wellness. He does not pander, however. His genuine engagement with the outcome of my treatment -- visible through actions -- is what really has shown me that he (and Tabiana, his long-time assistant) were genuinely trying to help me. I've seen two other psychiatrists and the experiences were far worse for several reasons. When it comes to matters of health, especially mental health, forming a meaningful, trustful connection with your doctor and his or her team is imperative. Combine positive rapport with assertive, precise diagnoses (and aggressive approach to treatment) and you might find yourself compelled to go online and thank you in a way only an online marketer would -- a 5 star review on Google.

Dr. Sheehan maintains contact with the academic, research psychiatry community, meaning he is very up to date. His patients are willing to wait a long time because he puts our needs first. He doesn't just prescribe medicine; he listens and advises when a patient needs extra help. We all wait because one day it may be us who needs the extra time. Dr. Sheehan was voted Best in Tampa for a reason.

I have been a patient of Dr Sheehan for over 20 years. I must say that he truly takes a personal interest in his patients, and knows extremely well how to make an accurate diagnosis of symptoms, medication, and of myself and others as people who want to get and stay well! He is brilliant, and very professional. What really stands out, is like so many others state, is that Dr Sheehan really does care about the welfare of his patients. Yes, he spends a very large amount of time with his patients! Many doctors do not have this type of committment where Dr Sheehan does. Over the years, I have truly learned alot, and very much continue to!
