Clients own Words - Steven Locke, MD | Psychiatrist & Behavioral Medicine Expert - Longmeadow, MA

“Dr. Locke is the most thorough, conscientious psychiatrist I have ever been to (and there have been several). My mental health is so important to me — and from my very first visit with Dr. Locke, it was evident that it was important to him as well. He took the time to really get to know me as a person, to ask essential questions, to find out which medications I had been on prior to my visit, etc. Dr. Locke’s knowledge, sage advice and recommendations regarding which medications I should take literally gave me my life back. I was so depressed and anxious when I started seeing him. Now I feel like I can function successful in the world. Many thanks, Dr. Locke!”

“Very knowledgeable and well-connected. His advice is backed by research, and he refers to the top docs at Harvard/Mass Gen. Spent 1.5 hours for what would normally be a 30-minute new patient visit at most psychiatrists. He is genuinely interested in improving the quality of healthcare. Working with Dr. Locke makes me feel that I’m helping others in addition to myself.”

“My visit with Dr. Locke was very efficient and effective. It truly relieved me that he was able to help and treat my difficulties in a straight forward manner. He was extremely adept at sorting out and understanding details which made [me] increasingly comfortable with divulging information about myself. His office is a serene and quiet atmosphere where one can truly relax and wind down.”

“Good as it gets, working with this gentleman. Has read all the new, germane research, focuses on solutions and patient’s self-evaluation, notes/tracks progress to eminently-logical benchmarks, has the regulations down cold, even handles paperwork extra-efficiently. Likable, ethical, accomplished, and most importantly, is as excellent a listener as he is a diagnostician.”

“I have become a recent patient of Dr. Locke, I had medication management and it has helped improve in a month . He also suggests joining groups to talk to others , or counseling , I like that he gave other alternatives besides just meds. I have severe anxiety and depression , and with his help I feel I am on my way to a better me, in controlling it better than I have since the early 1990’s. Thanks Dr Locke.”

“Dr Locke is one of those rare physicians that takes calls anytime, any day. He can always be reached by cell or E mail, and either picks up immediately or calls back shortly. If an issue arises where he has to call your internist or cardiologist, he picks up & does it on the spot. A knowledgable, hands-on, caring Dr…what a pleasure.”
