Savant Care — Psychiatrist in City and County of San Francisco, CA

Super awful experience with savant care. Scheduling was difficult and receptionists were somewhat unprofessional. The meeting with the NP was strange as well as she was trying to suggest drug tests to receive basic medication, which isn’t something thats necessary or even recommended under the standard of care guidelines in the United States. Do not reccomend

The complimentary yoga and meditation with Riya is something I highly recommend. The patience and instruction given to you is top tier. I learned a lot about myself and great techniques I can use for the future. I will continue to schedule as long as I can!

I see Dr Machikawa and Riya for meditation/yoga. I’ve started treatment recently and it has been tremendously beneficial. Riya provides one on one sessions, and I look forward to it and found a lot of improvement in my anxiety. She provides a lot of wisdom and helps me to utilize grounding techniques that I struggled to apply on my own.

Dr. Machikawa and Riya are wonderful. I always feels good after Riya’s yoga and meditation session.

I recently started attending the complimentary yoga and meditation sessions provided by Savant Care. I look forward to these weekly sessions with Riya. Her tailored approach, gentle guidance, and patient teaching make each practice meaningful and worthwhile.

Yoga with Riya is wonderful. I never had done yoga before. I didn't know if I could even do it.i have left sided weakness, due to a stroke. Riya is very patient. She makes sure you don't hurt yourself. She talks to you before the active phase starts. She will walk you through Meditation. This will calm you down and teach you techniques you can use on your own. I highly recommend trying it out.

I’ve been seeing Riya for meditation. It’s been a great experience. I’ve learned a lot and she gives individual advice for your particular situation. I can tell she genuinely cares and I have a new appreciation for meditation now.

My experience with both Dr Machikawa and Riya Bhatt for meditation/yoga has been amazing. Dr Machikawa has been instrumental in managing my anxiety. And the sessions with Riya are very fulfilling and relaxing - I feel very grounded!

Savant Care is a great practice. Dr. Barbara Huyn is very professional and accommodating. I’m very happy with the care they provide, highly recommend.

The first time I was seen at Savant Care I had a wonderful Psych! Unfortunately, he left the practice. Then I was bumped around between providers because a few of them left the practice as well or the match with the provider was not right. The past couple years I saw Dr. Barbara Huynh. She often seemed short and rude. After a year she decided for try and back out from our treatment agreement (how often I should be seeing her). I also find is absolutely unprofessional bringing herself as example of how often she sees her psychiatrist. Trying to pressure me to see her monthly for absolutely pointless 4 minute appointments when she asks you NOTHING substantial besides if you take your meds. She appears not to care about you as a patient but about how much money she can make for the practice with the frequency of her superficial appointments. A while back, Dr. Huynh asked me to call her assistant to tell him that she asked to refill my prescription despite what is the protocol he is used to. His response was yelling me that he knows her better than me and that’s impossible. I put him in his place very quickly by telling him that his job is double check with his boss and not to assume. He was so rude it was completely uncalled for. For someone to work in a metal health field, to be yelling at patients? This could’ve been avoided if firstly the doctor put it on my chart, secondly if the assistant had better training and manners. When I brought it up to the doctor at our appointment she didn’t even apologise! She defended him that he just followed protocol! Excuse you? The protocol is to yell at your patients instead of double checking the information with you? Or is it that you don’t like to be bothered about things like that… like I said minimum effort, maximum profit. And that’s why you lost another patient.
