Kalousek George E Md's Online Review Report Card

I really appreciate Dr. K. I read through some of these reviews here and they just strike me as really unfair. He is a solo practice with a third party billing company, that’s transparent from the start. So the issues that accompany such an arrangement shouldn’t be a surprise. In my dealings with Dr Kalousek, he’s been sympathetic and supportive and is always in a good mood and happy to help me through my challenges. I look forward to our checkins because he’s just a good guy who I legitimately enjoy talking to.

Absolutely terrible psychiatrist! SERIOUSLY DO NOT USE THIS GUY! He’s borderline dangerous and overall just not a nice person, highly lacking empathy and even the most basic social skills.

Terrible psychiatrist! DO NOT USE HIM!! Never saw him for more than 10 minutes at a time. Absolutely zero care for patients and defaults to prescribing narcotics (for long periods of time). Zero empathy, it’s almost like he’s memorized cue cards with certain VERY basic questions to ask but then he’ll interrupt you quickly to get to the next “cue card” question. My pharmacy told me they likely wouldn’t restock a medication for a few weeks (I was out and due for more) so I had to call around to find a pharmacy who DID have them in stock and then by law the doctor has to transfer the prescription (it wasn’t one I could transfer myself using the app) and when I called Dr. Kalousek, he never answers, but he returned my call leaving me a literally SCATHING voicemail, accusing me like it’s my fault or something and he repeatedly stated how he’s “sick of it” and didn’t want to be my doctor anymore!? I kind of feel bad for the guy honestly. That’s just one of a few VERY strange behaviors he exhibited. DO NOT USE!

Do not use. He cancelled my appoinment and then claimed it as a "no show" and sent it to collections. I never received a bill for it prior. He also didn't remember who I was at any appointment.

I took up to much of his time After working with Dr. Kalousek throughout the pandemic (two years) , he informed me that he no longer wanted me as a patient because I was too unorganized and required too much of his time. I wonder of medicare know about this??? How sad. Anyway, I suggest you take care if you are thinking of using him. He has no trouble reminding you to pay him for his services (co-pay) for online and 1 office visit which involved approx 15 minutes of his professional time. Be wise, a search for an empathetic doctor who has time to give you what you need to become and stay healthy.

I would not recommend him to anybody! Look up his name on Google Maps and check out reviews on there, they are all true. -Forgets Appointments -Late to Appointments -Does not listen -Will get your prescription wrong (Pickup Location/Total Pills/Dosages) -ONLY takes Cash or Check

Horrible psychiatrist, and I have seen many psychiatrists in my 30 years as a mental health patient. Extremely unprofessional and he thinks its OK to make fun of his patients. Always uses phrase "type of thing" when he is discussing your case with you. Somehow think he has been doing his job WAY too long that his patients have begun to rub off on him as he seems to have mental issues of his own. He has no interest in helping his patients and obviously entered the profession with profit in mind.

Dr. Kalousek confused me with others patients. He often brought up things that happened to other people with the same name. He totally left me in a lurch without medication because I switched insurances when I left my job. Any doctor who has no concern for his patients' wellbeing should be disbarred. Just saying...

Already recommended my family! When my last dr retired abruptly, I was in a panic trying to find a new psychiatrist. I was hesitant to call Dr. Kalousek at first since he has no website, but he returned my message immediately and was able to see me within a week! I will admit, his brusque mannerisms can get some getting used to, but Dr. Kalousek is the most knowledgeable doctor I've ever met. When I brought up a negative experience that happened after another doctor changed a medication, he pulled one of his many books off the wall, opened it up and was able to tell me exactly what happened. I've never met another doctor that clearly puts so much time and thought into furthering his knowledge to benefit his patients. When I had suggestions on my medication changes, he listened. I always felt listened to, and if he disagreed with what I asked for he explained why. When my little brother needed a psychiatrist, I gave him Dr. Kalousek's number! He really knows his stuff.

He was able to see us quickly and he takes insurance which is a huge win. (Another Dr. wanted $1500 up front for the first appt). He was very sweet to my teen son who liked him very much. He seemed to understand what my son needed and has helped stabilize him on medication. What I liked most was he suggested we wean off the meds in a year to see if this temporary support will be enough or if he needs more long-term support.
