SF Bay Psychiatry- Kory Stotesbery, DO

Wish there were no stars to give-​He did not follow through on l several occasions I had to having to call back to have him do what he said he would. Gave me higher doses of meds after I had told him they were not working for me– gave me blood pressure meds for panic attacks which after I told him were making me dizzy his response was «thanks for the update will call you during the week. Took from saturday to wednesday to return the call-​My doctor told me what he gave me I was lucky I didn’t have a stroke. Gave me a higher does of meds after I told him they were not working for me. His lack of compassion was sickening. I had called trying to cancel my appointment due to which I thought was the fle\u but now I find it was a reaction to the meds he gave. He had told me to let him know if it wasn’t working and then did nothing to recify it. I spent since Sunday suffering with sever anxiety but to afraid to take what he gave feeling dizzy I actually blacked out in the shower and fell. Tried to canecl the appointment whicle I was sick and he never responded– his words were the policy gets people to come in. He did not care that I should not be driving and has no consideration if someone was deathly ill. Not to mention he changed my appointment times and once has double booked. I was him once a month from July to November. He had come in when I couldn’t hold food down for days. I tried to call to cancel but he never responded I think he has no compassion and the other reviews he must have paid then. Thank God I never sent A CHILD THERE. Total lack of compassion. As my doctor said you are lucky you didn’t end up having a stroke. He is more interested in pushing pills than listening and is condescending– Thank God I never have to see this man again– gives Psychiatric a horrible rep. Good luck as he proceeds to make you into a zombie, Never took any responsibility for his mistakes. Do yourself a favor and find someone who cares about the people not his money

I have referred several of my clients to Dr Kory for medication assessment and/​or medication management. He is a rare Psychiatrist in his human and whole person centered approach and rapport with clients. Every client I have referred to him has reported feeling seen, heard, and well tended. He is also fabulous at collaborating with therapists and treatment team members. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Stotesbery has been a very welcome addition to my referral list for clients. I have heard nothing but positive experiences from my clients who have worked with him; he is highly knowledgeable in assessment and medication management and takes time with each client to determine the right treatment plan for them. On the clinician side, he has been top notch in collaborating with all members of the treatment team. Especially in the area of treating eating disorders, his skills are a gift to the bay area community.

Dr. Stotesbery is very ethical, patient, compassionate, and skilled/​well-​trained in both psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. It is not easy to find this combination of talents in a psychiatrist, especially in the bay area! He also has special training with children and adolescents, thus he has been an invaluable asset to the Bay area mental health community as far as I am concerned! I have referred several patients to him over the years and have heard nothing but positive reviews. He always takes a lot of time with his patients in both the assessment and intervention phases in order to fully understand and effectively treat the individual. I would consider him for your mental health needs without hesitation!
