I've had multiple psychiatrists through nexus and they all have been incredibly kind and informative. They always take the time to understand your situation and concerns before recommending anything and truly value your input. Its genuinely a collaborative experience, they never force anything on you and always give ample information about the medication you will be taking so you wont be surprised. I'd recommend this place to anyone, but especially those who are hesitant to go to a psychiatrist or have had bad experiences with them in the past.

I have been a patient with The Nexus Group for over 2.5 years. I moved to Pittsburgh from a different state so I was initially worried about how to find a new mental health provider in a city that's bigger than I was used to. I reached out for a new patient appointment and got scheduled within two weeks of my intake form submission. My provider is Samantha R. and she is fantastic! I have been seeing her since my new patient appointment and Samantha always asks how I'm doing first, hears my concerns, asks if I have any questions and answers them thoroughly. I don't (and never) have any problems with getting my meds/refills sent to my pharmacy. I HAVE to mention their customer service and billing departments because I've never had ANY issues, which is something you don't hear a lot! I hate getting on the phone and calling but their representatives are nice and very helpful. I have recommended The Nexus Group to my friends, family and even colleagues at work and will continue to do so.
