Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wish I could give him negative stars. Prescribed me medication at age 14 that made me into a literal zombie. After he was made aware of this he proceeded to prescribed more, speaks for itself. Never cared enough to give me the time of day to hear how the medications were actually affecting me. On top of that prescribed medication to a disabled woman we were taking care of at the time that after the first dosage she was given at home, we ended up in the ER with her not knowing who she was and falling over every time she stood up. Can’t believe he still has his license. If you care for your loved one’s and yourself, please please please find another doctor!

I’ve seen Dr. Wilharm for over a decade and he has not only managed to continually engage with and show genuine compassion and care for my treatment, but constantly work to improve my condition and stability as I require lifelong treatment for my condition. I could not ask for a greater and more accommodating physician than Dr. Wilharm.

Dr. Jeff Wilharm is an exceptional Mental Healthcare Provider. He easily earns 5 stars. He listens attentively, and gives encouraging suggestions to help patients figure out solutions to what a person is struggling with. The office staff is very friendly. I realize being a STELLAR doctor requires extra time and Dr. Wilharm is STELLAR. The only negative here is you wait 40+ mins. past your scheduled time to be seen. I've been a patient for more than 20 years. Finding a personable Mental Health Doctor is no easy task and Dr. W is worth waiting for. Bring a good book, the wait is less painless.

I have had experiences with Dr, Wilharm in an outpatient setting as well as inpatient. After several mental health stays in the hospital under the care of another doctor, he was assigned my case. He took me off all meds cold turkey and started me on several new ones, one that I told him I was allergic to and that very clearly was validated in my hospital chart. He over medicates. I understand doctor's have to deal with difficult situations daily and that can affect their mood, but i dont think that it should affect how you treat your patients. He is not fully knowledgable about cooccuring mental health conditons and personally tried to rediagnose me with disorders that were very clearly not the case. He does not hav a calm demeanor and I feel he purposfully tries to escalate patients and get them to their breaking point to numb them out making them less work. I feel terrible for anyone that would have to be under his care because it takes courage to reach out and he adds to the stigma

PLEASE DONT SEE THIS INCOMPETENT MAN – Jun 04, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Wilharm?
I was under Dr. Wilharms care for 10 or more years and although wait times were usually quite long, I felt the wait worth it. He is extremely devoted and spends the necessary time with his clients. He is very professional, yet remains personable. Due to insurance change I had to seek other providers

If you have nothing else to do, make an appointment and watch a couple home improvement type shows on HGTV. Settle in, bring a coffee, and relax for an hour or two before getting to meet with a subpar psychiatrist. You may also connect with the three or four other clients waiting on Dr. Wilharm!

Don't do it, man. Don't go. He's always at least an hour late, he doesn't listen to you, he doesn't answer questions, he doesn't explain things, he doesn't acknowledge your existance unless you're at your appointment, he doesn't respond to requests for help/information/records for MONTHS, he's kinda condescending, he spends about five minutes with you and decides he knows everything about you, and he doesn't care. At all. Run. Run away. His last name's Wil-HARM for a reason.

Every time I go in, I'm in the office for less than 5 minutes. Cares about rushing not my needs. I wait 1-2 hours. I understand if he is late every once in a while but not EVERY TIME. I have been going for over 2 years now. Doesn't call back regarding medicine.

His chronic habit of being 1-2 hours late for appointments dings his grade. I understand that consultations of this type vary in time but he's not even close to being prompt.

Always always running way behind schedule , like 1-2 hours behind . Then once you get in office he is busy catching up on paperwork and doesn't make eye contact to speak with you or truly care what is going on . He then quickly rushes you out to move on to the next patient . Two times I've tried calling the office with medication issues and he doesn't get back to you ! Horrible practice , we will not be returning!!!!!!
