Review of The Hobart Clinic

I See Dr Kenyon as a private outpatient by choice ...

I See Dr Kenyon as a private outpatient by choice of my own.
I sought out his advice/treatment after having terrible experiences with older fashion psychiatrists in different private and public organizations, that undertreated me and misdiagnosed me which lead to a disastrous early 20's. I have seen him 5 times already this year and even after giving him 100s of pages of history and me being a somewhat complicated case, he took me on and kept me as a patient and he listens to me and respects how I feel and my opinion on treatments.
He is very empathetic compared to your average psychiatrist and fairly flexible.
Although not overly specialising in my main mental illness, so far he has been helpful to the best of his ability and doesn't make you feel uncomfortable which is great for a complex patient like me. I would recommend him to patients who have had bad experiences in the past, it took me 6 years to see a psychiatrist again and I am glad I did my research. The staff at the Hobart location are great but over the phone or email at Rokeby they are a little slack as I have enquired about 2 separate things and no one got back to me.
