Reviews of Northern Virginia Psychiatric Group PC (Psychiatrist)

Cynthia Mills

I found this place shortly after moving to the area. They were able to accommodate my and my daughter's need for appointments in a reasonable amount of time. The care by each of our psychiatrists has been personalized and helpful.

Very rude staff unwilling to work with patients. If you already go here, don't be late to an appointment, not even 15 minutes. They won't take you, but you still have to pay for it, isn't that great patient service? I think not. Look elsewhere

So far no problems, i like the Dr and Nice staff, not sure about all the other comments here.

First off -- the office staff here is terrific. People who tell you otherwise probably have their own communication issues. I normally can't stand working with medical office receptionists, but they're great here. The medical/therapy staff has had a lot of turnover since their leader sadly passed away a couple of years ago.

Very happy with the care and service my psychologist provides. He helps me with any possible anxiety and achieving personal goals from week to week.

Chairman Meow

Rude and incompetent office staff that treat you horribly.

I don't know why a lot of the other reviews have been negitive. The staff are incredibly nice and understanding. I will admit that getting an appointment can be a little chaotic but that depends on which doctor you are seeing .Dr.Collin is a good doctor but you will have a hard time getting regular appointments with him since he also works at the New Dominion Psychiatric Hospital. I am currently a patient of Dr. Bajpai. I will admit he is a bit quirky but then again I would be quirky as well in his possition.

The office staff is so incredibly awful. The voicemail system is a bureaucratic nightmare. Be prepared to listen to the snotty voice of someone who clearly hates her life and all of the patients in this practice for a good 7 minutes before you get anywhere.

voicemail system is pointless. they dont contact paitents back in prompt manner. i dont believe a single person in the office truely cares for the well being of anyone that steps thru their front door. all this office cares about is making as much money as possible. they emulate everything that is wrong with medicine and pharmaceuticals.

Do not go to Doctor Bajpai if you are a woman. He has no knowledge of PMDD and is very closed-minded about breastfeeding. I met with him for the first time because I had some problems getting an appointment on Fridays with Dr. Collin (also at NoVAPSY, but an awesome doctor). I wanted to continue my 75mg dosage of Zoloft that I had gotten on for postpartum depression. He insisted that I needed a higher dosage and also an anti-anxiety medication and would not write me a perscription for anything other than that. He also disapproved of my breastfeeding my almost three year old and asked several times "would you be able to get a note from her pediatrician saying that this is okay?" and "do you think that you're just doing it for yourself?" He was very insulting and I left his office in tears. I'm now off of meds and struggle without them because the experience was so upsetting. I can't bring myself to open up to another doctor and be torn apart like that again.

Shalini Jain, PA is fantastic! I recommend her to everyone, especially new patients. She was very thorough and non-judgmental when learning about my medical background to help her understand the concerns that brought me to her office. She obviously wants to help me and wants to make sure the help she provides is the best option for me. She was VERY knowledgeable about every mental health topic we discussed. We also discussed issues I just had with a previous healthcare group, and she provided me with support for my concerns and ideas about properly contacting my previous group with my concerns (if I want). My previous healthcare group had made me extremely uncomfortable with the idea of going to see mental healthcare providers, but Dr. Jain has completely restored my faith in mental healthcare providers. I wish I would have gone to her sooner. I look forward to my next visit with her!

Well me start by saying the front desk is awful, I called for about a week to cancel my appointment & they never answered the phone. Secondly, Dr. Bajpai is awful. He is very rude & it's basically his way or the highway. Not a fan.

Stephanie Johnson

I've been late to appointments before and been taken in and I found the voicemail directory and front desk staff very helpful. Especially the lady at check in, shes very quick to compliment you, which is so nice. I really appreciate dr. Seagal and all of his help, hes very laid back and makes me feel like I'm in control of my own care. Love this practice. Better than Kaiser behavioral health center.

Theresa Nguyen

Staff are incredibly rude. Just call and listen to the condescending tone of the messages and the maze of extensions to even speak to anyone.

I'm going to give my review in the form of a response to the review posted by "Queen Awesome" below. I've struggled with addiction and everything that comes along with it for the 52 years I've been alive. Wasn't until I was 48 that I cared about doing something about it. I want to be polite and respectful to your post, although you certainly did not extend that same courtesy to Shalini Jain. I have been across the desk from dozens of Doctors over the past four years and a little life's experience under my belt helps me determine who I'm dealing with. You make it sound as if Shalini Jain is sitting behind her desk with her prescription pad yelling "Yee-Haw". Let me tell you something... I am the World's Heavyweight Champion of finding doctors who are "loose with the pad' and I was able to get scripts written that would blow your mind. I know you're worried about your son but I to urge you to remember that HE is the addict and all of us are schemers, liars and can BS anybody out of anything at any time. There's a reason they call it the PRACTICE of Medicine and when it comes to addiction, sometimes there has to be perceived victories to the addict, even if temporary. Candidly, I have found Shalini's approach to be direct, deliberate and cautious. And the reality of the situation is that expecting outpatient therapy and medical care to "cure" your son is the equivalent of offering "thoughts and prayers" when something bad happens... might make you feel good for a while but it doesn't do a damn thing. Doctors, Psychiatrists, Therapists and Sponsors can't help an addict without consent.... it's a two way street and I hope your son is holding up his end of the bargain. Recovery is incredibly selfish and death is a part of it... I've seen a dozen or so with whom I was in recovery lose their battle. It sucks but better them than me. Your son needs to think that way... IMHO. Ma'am... I would ask that you change your review. Other than not being fair, you really shouldn't be discussing individual medical treatment plans... Your concerns are against the wrong person.
