Curated Mental Health

“I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from Austin and the entire team. What impressed me most was that their care went far beyond simply treating symptoms. From the very beginning, I felt that my case was taken seriously and handled with genuine professionalism, empathy, and attention. Austin has been an exceptional provider. He is warm, patient, and thoughtful, offering guidance that extends well beyond traditional mental health treatment. In addition to helping me manage anxiety and stress, he shared practical advice about daily habits, including exercise routines, caffeine consumption, sleep hygiene, and lifestyle adjustments that have had a meaningful impact on my overall well-being. These are lessons I believe I will carry with me for life. Coming from a high-pressure financial services background, I often struggled with intense stress, anxiety, and an unhealthy relationship with work. While work-life balance can feel almost impossible in my industry, Austin helped me develop healthier perspectives and coping strategies that allowed me to regain control and improve my quality of life. The entire staff has been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They not only understand mental health from a clinical perspective, but also understand the real-life challenges people face every day. It is rare to find a team that combines expertise with such a human and compassionate approach. I highly recommend Austin and this practice to anyone seeking mental health support. Their guidance has made a lasting difference in my life, and I am deeply thankful for everything they have done to help me move forward with greater confidence, balance, and peace of mind.”

“I am giving two stars because I have heard positive things about Dr. Tobkes himself, and my concerns are not about his clinical care but about the way the office is managed. About a month ago, I reached out as a prospective new patient through Curated Health. When the receptionist called, the interaction was unexpectedly difficult. I understand that front desk staff often work under pressure and deal with a high volume of calls, but the tone of this conversation felt unnecessarily abrupt and unaccommodating. There were issues with call quality, and when I asked if they could call me back, that request was declined. I then had a member of my support staff assist with the call (with my consent), but was told that this was not allowed. During the conversation, there were also conflicting statements about scheduling and availability, as well as responses that came across as dismissive. As someone with autism and phone anxiety, I had hoped for a bit more flexibility or understanding in communication, especially from a mental health office. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. Ultimately, I was informed the following day that the practice would not be able to meet all of my needs, which I understand and respect. However, the process leading up to that decision felt unnecessarily stressful and discouraging. I’m sure Dr. Tobkes provides excellent care, but based on this experience, the front office interaction made it difficult for me to move forward.”

“This place is the best I have had so many different providers since I was a child and honestly I finally feel like I have found someone that actually hears me instead of just talking at me! Thanks Richard your the best thank you for being someone I can talk to and get advice from without judgement and making me feel like I’m dealing with an a authority figure instead of a medical professional it means more then you ever know!”

“Katherine has been amazing in managing my medication. She is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and always makes sure everything is handled correctly. I really appreciate how punctual she is and how organized she keeps my treatment plan. She takes the time to listen and makes me feel supported throughout the process. It’s clear she truly cares about her patients, and I’m very grateful for the care and professionalism she provides. Highly recommended.”
