I am leaving a review here for Dr Nielsen to encourage people to see him. He assisted me in assessment, was professional and very knowledgeable in psychiatry and generally. I encourage everyone to look past the other reviews that may not be accurate or by well individuals as he is a funny and quirky man. I trust him with assessment and generally my care.

I believe Dr Andrew Nielsen might be receiving a lower rating due to his unconventional and unique presentation. I am leaving a positive rating here to encourage others to see him, in the hopes they can benefit from his help as I did. He is quirky and straightforward, which can be intimidating, particularly when meeting him for the first time while feeling nervous in anticipation of discussing sensitive topics (mental health). However, if you can overlook this, as I did, I have benefited from his expertise in ADHD medication. He is meticulous, and I am pleased to have him as my psychiatrist.

The best and most thorough doctor I’ve ever seen. Has helped me more than any doctor I’ve ever seen.
Very hard to get appointments with, I think his skills are listening, getting you to open up and knowing when to speak or probe.
All these quack jobs in here complaining sounds like you want home to be what every other doctor that has never helped you have been. His manner may appear odd, but it’s deliberate to get your reactions, get you talking and really let him figure what the underlying issues are. Face it if your seeing him you’ve probably got some issues, assess the facts you’re probably just want a reason to blame someone else again for why life isn’t all roses.

Dr Neilson you’re a smart man I’ll be forever thankful.

Showed no interest in what I actually said. Lack of people skills. Just sat there staring at me and when I asked him stuff went on a ramble about other things. No thanks.

I have PTSD and ADHD and I am autistic. All three conditions are marked by abnormally low dopamine levels. So, Dr Andrew Nielsen gave me a domaine antagonist (Seroquel, a profoundly dangerous drug) without warning me not only that it was depressing me, but also that it was giving me brain damage and doing nothing to help me.

I mean WTF?!!! I’d have done better with no so-called help.

He refuses to pay for me to undertake brain injury / damage rehabilitation with a competent doctor and specialist recovery team, as do the other psychiatrists who wrongly gave me or directed me to take this destructive medication. Stay clear of psychiatry, people - it will only make your life worse than it already is.

I went through numerous psychological and psychiatric specialists before finding Dr Nielsen. He is an excellent Dr who’s knowledge of pharmaceuticals and varying treatment techniques have helped me immensely. In the beginning, I did everything I could to avoid treatment. He didn’t take any of my rubbish and has treated me for PTSD, Adult ADHD and a number of other mental health issues over the past 10 years. I have also recommended him to a number of friends who were suffering. Thank-you Dr Nielsen for giving me my Life back!

Dr Nielson is kind, compassionate, respectful and professional. He helped diagnose some of my mental health issues. He is very intelligent, i will say though, he doesnt realise how intelligent i am. I know when he is playing mind games during the consutation, expecting reactions, i dont react, i just stay quiet. Maybe he has met his match LOL. You may think he is weird and think why is he doing that for ? He is evaluating you and your reactions.

I had a great experience with this doctor. He came up with a very creative solution to my problem. He treats me with respect, and I think deep down he cares about people.
