Worst doctor I've had. At Maryland VA, 2017..avoid, not recommended..
I have worked closely with Dr Beyer in a professional setting for a number of years. He is a very insightful and thoughtful clinician. He is attentive to patient needs and will provide guidance and assistance in addressing your individual issues. I believe you will be very pleased with Dr. Beyer’s services.
My colleagues and I at DC Talk Therapy have been referring patients to Dr. Beyer for medication evals for the past few months and we've been thrilled with the quality of service he has given. Dr. Beyer is knowledgable, warm and very responsive to patients and our staff. We will happily continue to refer patients to him.
Dr. Beyer is an experienced psychiatrist who shows much compassion for his patients.
Dr. Beyer is an amazing physician and kind-hearted man overall. He’s patient, experienced, very knowledgeable in his field and truly cares for each of his patients. I highly recommend you book an appointment with him. You won’t be disappointed!
Dr Beyer is a rare find. He is patient, kind, caring, and compassionate while also being detailed and thorough. He finds ways to bring warmth and humor into what are often very difficult, even excruciating circumstances. He takes a real and lasting interest in his patients and makes himself accessible and available in a way that few doctors do.
Dr. Beyer is an excellent physician and deeply invested in the well-being of his patients. He is down-to-earth, open, non-judgmental, and practical, while possessing a keen understanding of underlying motivations and biases that influence our behaviors and thoughts. Whatever is your style and comfort zone, he will work with you to achieve your hopes and goals.
Dr. Beyer helped guide me through serious depression and (unbeknownst to me) self destructive behaviors recently. Using skillful talk therapy with light pharma (a gentle mixture without untoward side effects), I am now in a healthy easily sustainable mental state. In short, he’s got (psychiatrist) game.
Dr Beyer is a fantastic clinician and an even better person. You will be in excellent hands!
