Any recommendations for a great doctor in Des Moines? One that you are really glad you see?
Eileen J. replied:
I was looking at doctors in my network last night and I really realized how much I do like my own doctor, I just hate the clinic. She is kind and a good listener, and takes the time you need. I really don't have any reason to leave her. Dr. Susan Kennedy - she's at Mercy Central Campus and their wait times are awful and last I was there (granted it was a while) office staff left something to be desired. She's good though.
Patty N. replied:
I hear ya Eileen Jackson. I really really dislike most Mercy Clinics. I think they train their administrative staff to be micromanaging zealots and (some) of their office staff to be as rude as possible.
Lliam B. replied:
Dr. Natalie K. Leddin, DO
Carrie E. replied:
I recommend Dr Doolittle.

Kathy, I hated to leave my doctor when I moved. Scott Meyer at Altoona Family Care. He's in his mid 40's, real friendly and down to earth and listens and expresses empathy. I went thru a lot of medical issues with him and he's very knowledgable and has good bedside manner.

loljkbutsrsly replied:
Have you been seeing general practitioners or actual psychiatric professionals? If you've just been going to general practitioners, that's your problem. They really aren't geared for mental health issues. Since I moved to Des Moines a year or so ago I've been going to the [Unity Point Counseling & Psychiatry Clinic](https://www.unitypoint.org/desmoines/services-iowa-health-counseling-psychiatry-clinic.aspx) in WDM for my prescription management, and my provider has been great. I highly recommend giving them a call.
rEliseMe replied:
I've been pleased with Ara Robinson at Iowa Psychiatry in Urbandale. He's young so he's willing to try new things and experiment with you.
kfred987 replied:
I go to Brooke Chalmers at Broadlawns. She's great. She's been working with me for a few months now to get my meds right and it usually doesn't take months to get in to see her!
