Good doctor who is helpful and knowledgeable; however the office staff in La Jolla are unprofessional and under trained.
Office personnel refused to schedule an appointment, so I can't get my prescriptions refilled. They don't understand how insurance works and have unnecessary red tape to mask their lack of knowledge. They should have just apologized and listened while I finished sentences rather than interrupt repeatedly.
After seeing him for years, I will look elsewhere since he can't be reached for scheduling.

Odd to have a review draft made up for me. I think Dr. Mawhinney is a fine doctor for my needs, and is the same office with my therapist so that's a definite plus. He's a bit old school, but still listens and makes recommendations based on what you tell him about your history and needs. Much better to go to him or any good psychiatrist than trying to rely on your GP doctor for psychiatric medications.
