You want a doctor who cares about you and you family look no further, I have never meet a doctor who will help with your mental health but also tour physical health. Him and his wife are simply the best.

I had gone to so many Dr's trying to get help with my anxiety. All of them put me on dangerous meds that did nothing but make my issues worse. When I told them it was making it worse they just increased the doses. Finally after 6 months, of being bounced around from Dr to Dr, I took matters into my own hands. I called Dr. Bandettini and I am so happy I did. This man listens to you. He cares about getting you to where you need, and want to be mentally. If anyone is feeling like they are talking to a brick wall. Or, that what they are currently on isn't working. I recommend you go and see him. You won't regret it. I have now been working with him again for over 2 years. My anxiety has never been more under control. All because he spends the time to sit and listen. Not to just talk for 5 minutes and hand you a script.

He's the best. He really cares, and he practices like doctors should practice. Helped me a lot.

He listens, he focuses on my issues. It was hard to get into him, but worth it. I appreciate his ability to look at both my physical and psychiatric issues with medicine and good understanding of the physical problems I have. Really good interpersonal skills. Spendt 2 hours my first visit! Wow!

I' usually pretty glib about seeing a new psychiatrist. I usually expect to see someone uninterested and asking alot of questions while looking down at a computer and checking meds , bla blah blah...... Well, I was quite surprised when this Dr. THE FIRST TIME I saw him that he didn't even look down! He wasn't even writing anything for the first half hour just trying to get to know me. Since I'm from Jersey it kind of freaked me out! But then he stareted asking questions and started circling the wagons with his questioning until all of a sudden I think that he was inside my head!! I felt like he had gently lifted a cover from my eyes and head axcept that I didn't realize it, but he was inside my had and POOF! He knew me and what to do and start. Heck, for all I know he maybe could have hypnotized me but I'm hard to hypnotize! Ha! Well I've been having alot less anxiety on my job here without feeling tired. I think he really gets to know you-and you don't even realize it untill all of a sudden things start to well, come together. and then yoou are discussing the fine points of med management and the thing about it he nails it what you really need. I've seen him four times now for about an hour apiece and he still doesn't poke at a computer-but sometimes he dictates during the end of our visit. Actually I've been kind of surprised. He;s good, but you don't realize it right away and then all of a sudden my m eds are doing real good. Or I'm doing better also and feeling a little more like my old self. He is no spring chicken, but he knows his stuff and real easy to talk to. A little bit obsessive about his instructions how to take my meds-no as need stuff, but I think it works. So I'm good. I'm getting it. He's cool.

Hey I can talk to him pretty easy and he has had great experience. I feel better! Is not always on time (10-15min) but who is these days? Nobody knows I see him-I don't have to stare at people in the waiting room who are bugging me. He spends a lot of time with me! My meds are right on!

I have been to see six psychiatrists before I saw Dr. Bandettini. They said essentially that they could not help me. He found out that I had a problem with my pituitary gland and now I am going to get that fixed! Sent me to a great doc who found what Dr B suspected! That was a lifesaver for me!

Does not have a staff, he answers the phone himself during your session. Constantly talks about himself and how great of a Dr he is. His book is obviously about him and his narcissistic beliefs of himself. Look him up on the South Dakota Medical Examiners website and you will see for yourself he has no business practicing! I no longer see him since I moved to Texas and I am very thankful to be away from him!

Dr. B may be sometimes hard to get ahold of but he makes up for it with his care and knowledge of medicine. I would and have recommended him to others and I know he has been able to provide assistance to them.
