LAURA DABNEY, MD REVIEWS

Dr Dabney was limited in her assessment to asking only questions provided by the Veterans Administration during my VA Disability and Pension examination. However, she was attentive to all my responses and never made me feel as if she was just checking the boxes. When all the required questions were answered, she gave me an opportunity to share any other issues and concerns I had, which she also documented. I was quite satisfied with her professionalism.

After struggling with alcoholism for years, I decided to see Dr. Dabney for help. Her personalized approach to treatment and unwavering encouragement have been vital in my journey to sobriety.

Warm and welcoming atmosphere loved the decor in lobby and office! Dr. Dabney is a delight to talk to. Very calm in nature very professional, kind and very demure. Thank you for your services.

FRINETTE BARKHAUER, MD REVIEWS

I’ve been seeing Dr Checo for just over a year now. I was under the care of a psychiatrist in Texas for nearly 20 years before moving to Virginia a little over a year ago, and have to say I feel fortunate to have found Dr Checo so quickly. We meshed immediately! She is excellent at listening and advising, and prescribing the medication I need at my age! She had me weaned off an anxiety med I’d been on for years and I’ve had no ill effects from going off it. Excellent psychiatrist.

Dr Checo is super! She truly takes the time and interest in solving problems like no one I've ever seen before. She is so easy to talk too, that she had my trust by the end of the first visit.You won't be disappointed.

I actually enjoy talking with Dr. Checo. She has helped me a lot. And I now have medicine that works. She is always open to my ideas too. I totally recommend selecting Dr. Checo.

ROBERT F. BUSCH, MD REVIEWS

Dr. Busch has been an incredible support in my recovery journey over the past six months. Facing injustices from my employer has been an incredibly difficult experience, but Dr. Busch has not only provided a compassionate and understanding presence but has also ensured that I have the tools and resources I need to navigate these challenges. What sets him apart as a psychiatrist is his ability to truly listen, validate my experiences, and offer thoughtful guidance rooted in his extensive training and expertise. A great psychiatrist possesses a unique combination of clinical knowledge, empathy, and the ability to tailor treatment to each patient’s needs. Dr. Busch embodies all these qualities; his deep understanding of mental health, combined with his patient-centered approach, makes every session feel productive and reassuring. He is not just focused on symptom management but is genuinely invested in my overall well-being, ensuring I have the right coping strategies and support systems in place. His professionalism, patience, and commitment to his patients make him an invaluable resource, and I am truly grateful for his care.

He's so easy to talk with and very compassionate. highly recommend. I feel very lucky to have him in my corner.

Dr Bush was so awesome he listened intently and was very nice professional and knowledgeable.
