Robert F McFadden, MD — Psychiatrist in Philadelphia, PA

Dr. McFadden is kind, patient, and understanding. He listens deeply, and always offers clarity in response to my chaotic ramblings. It's obvious that he has an extensive understanding of ADHD and how it shows up in our lives – answering all my questions (like "Is that normal?") with empathy, wisdom, and science to back it up.

Dr. Robert McFadden is a great psychiatrist. He is intelligent and compassionate. He listens to what I am saying and then provides valuable feedback that actually helps me. I am able to express my feelings without the need to hide anything.

In 2020, during covid, my psychiatrist stopped treating patients, leaving me in a really tough situation. I was stuck and freaking out. I started calling psychiatrists, hoping someone could see me. When I called Dr. Robert McFadden, I initially got his voicemail and was discouraged at first because his voicemail stated he was not currently accepting new patients, which was the problem I continued to run into…I still left him a voicemail though asking him to call me back, hoping that he would be able to refer me to a different doctor since he wasn’t accepting patients. I didn't expect him to call me back because none of the other physicians that I left messages for called me back. Not only did he call me back, but he told me that he could see me. I was ecstatic. Since then, I have been seeing Dr. McFadden monthly and he has helped me tremendously. When I talk to him, it doesn't feel like I am talking to a doctor, but a very knowledgeable and caring friend. He is so easy to talk to and unlike other psychiatrists that I have seen in the past, he doesn't cast any judgement. I look forward to our appointments because he really cares about his patients and wants the best for us. I need a prior authorization for my medicine and Dr. McFadden is always on top of this. He is a fantastic psychiatrist. I would definitely recommend Dr. Robert McFadden to anyone looking for a psychiatrist.

Dr. Robert McFadden is the most caring, comprehensive, and intelligent psychiatrist I have ever had! He has helped me beyond measure with becoming stable, functional, and mentally well. I reached out to Dr. McFadden for an initial assessment in 2020 after a stay in the hospital and have continued working with him since. Over the years, he has treated my multiple diagnoses with precision and correct medication regimens. His kind and compassionate approach with talk therapy has also helped me tremendously during our appointments. He is also always communicative and reachable for his patients. I can’t recommend Dr. McFadden enough, he has truly made a difference in my health and my life.

I have been seeing Dr. McFadden for about a year now and I am so thankful for the progress that he has helped me achieve. He is very personable, charismatic, and very understanding. I wish I could use more than 5 stars to rate him and his practice. I've never had an issue scheduling a session and his office is very accessible in Center City. I strongly recommend him for anyone struggling with ADHD like myself. He will work with you and push you to make better, healthier habits. I am very appreciative of everything he's done for me so far and I can't wait to continue working with him. Because he has helped me so much, it personally drove me to form better habits so that we can both witness the success.

I've been seeing Dr. McFadden for nearly 5 years and I cannot stress how much I appreciate having such a stellar psychiatrist. It's not easy finding good mental health professionals: Dr. McFadden gets to know you as well as discuss a multi-pronged approach to managing and understanding one's mental health. It's not just pills like with some - which is something I truly respect about him. He listens, takes my input into serious consideration, and is open to discussing very frankly the pros and cons of various treatments. I do not get the impression that any concerns or worries I may have are dismissed. He's compassionate - again, something that is very valuable to have. I cannot recommend him enough.

5 STARS DOESN'T CUT IT! Dr. McFadden is probably one of the best doctors I've ever met. I've known him for a long time now, almost 9 years. I never went to him because I thought I needed a counselor. I actually went to him to take my client to him for a sleep disorder due to a Traumatic Brain Injury. As I got to know him, I thought he would be able to be a good think tank for me and help me out with my issues of a panic disorder and related stress. He has and much more. There aren't many doctors out there that are "human", or as some would say, "have good bedside manners". Dr. McFadden has all of that mentioned above and after this long time of helping me and my client out, he has become a mentor and a person who I consider a good friend now. Thanks so much man for everything. You have no idea how much you not only helped me, but have been a great role model.

Highly recommended. If I could give 100 stars for Dr. McFadden, I would. I’ve been going to Dr. McFadden since 2015 and I’m so thankful for his help over the years. Not only is he a highly knowledgeable and skilled physician, but he is incredibly compassionate, understanding and accommodating. It’s rare to find a doctor that is so professional, while also remaining so relatable, supportive and accessible at the same time. Thank you so much, Dr. McFadden!

I share a number of mutual clients with Dr. McFadden for medication management and they have all expressed appreciation for his professionalism, thoroughness, and responsiveness. I would highly recommend his services.
