Zach is very caring understanding. Have some hope after first Ketamine treatment.

The most caring and understanding doctor in the business. Honest

Dr. Davila has been a life saver, literally. I highly recommend her and her services ☺️

I love Dr. Davilla. She is very caring, concerned and a great listener with empathy.

Dr. Davila is amazing! I’ve gone through so many doctors/medications and never felt right or satisfied until I went to see her. Dr. Davila instantly knew what was wrong with me, helped me understand my diagnosis, and found a solution for me. Without her help and knowledge I’d continue to feel helpless- she truly listened to how I felt and tried to fix my problem. The Awakenings staff is so kind and welcoming I have enjoyed every appointment I’ve gone to and left with a smile on my face. I highly recommend Awakenings KC and especially Dr. Davila!

The TMS procedure seems to work well. After 18 visits, still nothing solid to conclude.

Excellent communication & helpful prescriptions!

Dr. Davilla & The Awakenings staff are a pleasure to interact with & they always get back to you in a timely manner.

Dr davila listened and gave me some helpful advice today. She adjusted the meds, so that, hopefully, my insomnia will go away.

Dr Davila/ Dylan care about their patients’ well-being as well as progress; both are closely monitored. Hassler’s IOP program is next to none.

Awakenings and Dr. Davila have saved my life…literally…on more than one occasion. Dr. Davila is very caring and knowledgeable and offers the latest in mental health treatments.

I have been very impressed with everyone at Awakenings. The people I deal with on a daily basis are very easy to talk to and they treat me with respect. Everybody's very professional. I never have to wait and I'm always nicely greeted by the receptionists. Everybody I deal with always ask me how I'm doing. And they're open to questions about what's going on with my treatments. I have actively recommended this treatment to friends and family. I'm so glad I found Awakenings to receive my TMS therapy.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Davila for a long while now regarding my mental health state. She has gotten to know me over the course of this period. She’s knowledgeable and avoids “fluff” to help me understand what treatment plans and meds are going to help me. I expect honesty and knowledge when I step into a professional environment, both of which I get from here. Highly recommended for people that are seeking to get mentally healthier.

The first and only time i went in Dr Davila immediately asked “how has the medication been going?” while not even looking up from her computer screen. i had no idea what she was talking about. She thought that i was another patient even though i had never been there before. only asked a couple of questions about everything that i had been dealing with, gave me an antipsychotic and sent me on my way. I personally think it is very unprofessional to not know who you are seeing especially when it’s a brand new patient. She seems to have no sympathy or care in the world for her patients.

I will not return. The first visit lasted 10 mins, I was then started on a new medication. The second visit was a phone visit at my request due to being sick, she called 15 mins late, again a 5 minute conversation. She does not listen, and specifically says she will stop a medication I have been taking for a year. She then offers no flexibility with scheduling, she just throws out a time and date and expects that to work for you. I went here due to limited resources available, but will look elsewhere.

Dr. Davilla and her team go above and beyond to care for their patients. It took 6 months for my insurance to approve TMS therapy and they never gave up. They also work with you to fit you in around your schedule. Dr. Davilla’s has a wealth of knowledge about medications and her determination to find what works best for her patients is unmatched by others. I highly recommend this practice.

There's a reason my TMS/Spravato treatments ended with a quality of care complaint to the insurance company & to the state, and with me consulting with an attorney about a possible malpractice suit. Dr. Davila interrupted one of my Spravato treatments less than halfway through because, by her own admission, she wanted to get out of the office on time for the weekend. My list of issues with this practice is extremely long and I was only in their care for a little over a week. Stay far, far away.

I have been suffering from severe depression and thoughts of self harm for a very long time. I had been diagnosed with MDD several years ago and in addition my therapist diagnosed me with treatment resistant depression because of the multitudes of psych meds I have tried with no relief. She suggested that I try TMS or Spravato. There are only 6 psychiatrists in the Kansas City Metro area that perform both. I found Dr. Davila's office, Awakenings KC. They were extremely helpful and worked very quickly to get me an appointment with Dr. Davila. It had to be a virtual appointment because of the surge in the Omicron cases. I was having a really hard time getting the virtual appointment to work, but Dr. Davila didn't give up and she worked with me so that she could first see me but me and she could hear me but I couldn't hear her. She actually just called me and we talked for nearly 30 minutes. She asked tons of questions and she decided that I did indeed need intensive treatments and that her office would work with my insurance company to get prior authorization for my treatments. They called me back the very same day and I was approved and I was scheduled for the very next day. I went in and had both the TMS and Spravato treatments after they explained everything and answered all of my questions. They have gone out of their way to help me get the treatments that I am so desperately needing. Dr. Davila has been wonderful and her staff, Amy and Amara are terrific. I can't express how grateful that I am for having found this wonderful place. I have been suffering from severe depression and thoughts of self harm for a very long time.

Went in and they charged me $300, cut my hour session down to a mere 30 minutes and gave me a prescription that has terrible side effects. When I requested to change they said I need to come and pay them again for doing nothing in the first place. DO NOT COME HERE

She is very busy. Her practice includes IV Ketamine, Spravato, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Treaments, & group addiction meetings. With all this, she will see patients, only and if, they need a medical reason for a 15 minute medication appointment. She is a good physician, but do not count on seeing her! Meanwhile her staff do not know what they are doing!

I arrived 6 minutes late to my first appointment. The receptionist never said hello. Her words, “You finally made it. You are late.” After I politely apologized, she said she will have to see if the doctor would even meet with me. I was thinking to myself, are you serious? Another member came to the receptionist and shook her head no. They even tried to collect my copay of $50. I am a person that asked for help. Making that call and scheduling the appointment wasn’t easy, not to mention taking time off of work and fighting through rush hour traffic. I don’t have severe challenges, but what if I was a person that was barely hanging on? My life isn’t worth waiting 6 minutes? I would understand if I was 20-30 minutes late, but at least see me and give me a one time pass/warning. I would have asked for forgiveness, but they clearly aren’t here for me and they don’t care. I politely said this is ridiculous and that I would take my business somewhere else. Not a single word was said by either employee after I said that. Didn’t get a call or email, nothing. This was at the end of their day, so clearly they cared more about getting off work than helping me. I would have totally been fine seeing the doctor for even 15 minutes instead of the normal timeframe. Don’t go here. If you do, don’t expect them to live up to their word of “priding themselves to restore hope”. -6 stars I arrived 6 minutes late to my first appointment. The receptionist never said hello.

Texting during my appointment, completely insensitive, wouldn’t look at me, etc. everything you would fear in a doctors appointment happened. Basically everything everyone else said is true. Please don’t go here if you are a sensitive person.

I've seen Dr. Davila for ADHD and found her to be utterly unprofessional in turns of treatment plans. In addition, not sure if it's due to her poor language skills but she's also extremely rude and unpleasant to talk to.

The staff is SO friendly and doc definitely knows what she is doing. 10/10 would recommend. I'm a patient here currently doing one of the cutting edge treatments.

It's difficult to describe how awful this place is. Dr. Davila is NOT interested in helping you. It's very clear they're there to take your money. My experience left me incredibly angry, disappointed and in disbelief that they would treat patients the way they do. I'm saddened that others may experience what I did. If you see this review and the other negative reviews, I hope you will heed these warnings. The office space itself is dirty, disorganized and unsanitary. I sincerely hope it is shut down so others avoid the outcome I experienced. It's difficult to describe how awful this place is. Dr. Davila is NOT interested in helping you.

WORST PLACE , WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME, AND ONLY WANT MONEY .

If you leave a bad review on their Facebook page you get blocked from the page

I was in crisis and Dr. Davila did not even talk to me when I was desperate and crying in her office. She was completely insensitive. She just hastily wrote me a prescription for medication and didn't explain anything. My one an only experience there, and I'll never go back or recommend.

Dr. Davila acted cold hearted, she wouldn't even look up from her computer screen. I felt as if I was bothering her. I do not recommend her based upon my short visit with her today, in which I demanded my money back and received.

I have had a great experience with this office. I completed TMS Therapy and was able to ween off of daily medication. All staff and the Doctor have always been kind and helpful. I highly recommend this office and TMS.

Dr. Davila is amazing and truly cares for her patients besides helping me during my situation I have never had an issue reaching out to her getting through when calling their office. I love that she offers telehealth appointments with my busy schedule. Thank you Dr. Davila for all that you do.

I have only been going here for a short time but I am already thoroughly impressed with the staff I have interacted with. Dr Davila is a straight shooter. She doesn’t tell you things you want to hear she gives you the facts and her professional opinion. Which is very refreshing. Scott the therapist is not your typical therapist. He is totally non conventional but in such a good way. You feel like your just chatting with a friend and not a stuffy clinical therapist. And the girls who do the TMS are so friendly and always so cheerful along with the front desk girl. Everyone is very delightful and down to earth. I highly recommend Awakenings.

Right before she started Awakenings. She said she was no longer seeing current patients and didn't give me any recommendations for another doctor.It was the worse time of my of my treatment.

I worked for them for a week and once I figured out they offer no benefits I had to leave as I need somewhere that provides them, they REFUSED TO PAY ME because I quit! Trashy place

My daughter was a patient here. The only person who seemed to care at all in the office was Corinne. Dr. Davila never listened to concerns or issues. Several instances my daughter left feeling worse than when she came in. Again, Corinne was the only bright spot in this office.

I went to Dr. Davila when I needed to see someone that could mentor me and adjust my meds. I had seen her twice before I called & scheduled another apt with her. Sat in a room by myself for an hr and 20 min while hearing the entire conversation with herself, another patient, and his wife. The walls are paper thin. As soon as she came in she told me she wasn't taking any patients on benzos. I scheduled the apt for a xanax refill because my previous doctor retired & thought since I already saw Maria 2 times and she knew I was on Xanax it'd be easier to go to her. She called me me a "Benzo patient". I take a low grade of xanax as needed. She had ZERO bedside manner, & took someone off of a benzo that's been on them for 13 yrs never with any issues. I'd think a psychiatrist would know that isn't safe. I'll never go back to her again, and HIGHLY suggest none else visits her either. It was a waste of my time, time off work, and money.

My daughter went here for a “supposed” psychotic break. She was referred by a general practitioner. Although the doctor was kind, she seemed to make assumptions as to what was wrong with my daughter. Dr. Davila placed my daughter into IOP therapy for a few months. It is debatable whether it truly helped, other than offering a structured, interactive environment. The meds she was put on caused serious side effects normally seen only after long term use. My daughter was very low functioning for quite a long time. Due to the suddenness of the illness I asked repeatedly if an MRI might help with her diagnosis, and I was told it would be a waste money as her condition was definitely psychiatric in nature. After being given a number of “possible” diagnoses over the 6 months she was seen, her care had to cease due to losing her insurance coverage. I trusted the doctor’s expertise and sought out continued mental health care through providers who take on those without financial resources. After two years of no progress, I switched her to a new PCP and my daughter finally received an MRI. She has demyelination disease most likely due to an encephalitis episode back when initially diagnosed with psychosis. Thinking back on the atypical nature of her illness, from how it initially presented to how she is today, it should have led a doctor to suggest more testing be done. It seems that money rather than the desire to really help may have influenced treatment offered, as they kept her in IOP as long as insurance would allow. I do not discount that my daughter’s case was complex, and that not only Dr. Davila, but other mental health professionals (a term used loosely) also offered no real treatment, suggestions for more testing or had an understanding of her actual deficits and how they impacted her day to day functioning. Now my daughter has a neurologist and PCP who monitor her care. If only she had received the proper attention early on, she might have received appropriate care that would have saved her so much pain and suffering and prevented some of the brain damage. For more easily identified mental health issues, Dr. Davila would appear to be a good doctor. For a complex case, I believe not so much. My daughter went here for a “supposed” psychotic break.

Dr. Davila has been a life-saver for me! I cannot say enough good things about her and her staff. She offers the latest in depression treatment, such as Ketamine and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). I have been a part of IOP at her office, also. Through her care, I have found hope. She listens well, explains things thoroughly, and works me in when I am having an emergency. I am very thankful for Dr. Davila.

went to visit for substance abuse. little did I know just how little Dr. Davila listened to my problem at all and after I waited on her for 90 minutes I got about 6 minutes of her time. I have been on a benzo 6-7 years straight (Ativan, Xanax, klonopin, etc). She says I cannot be prescribed that anymore because I had taken a week long prescription of suboxone for my opiate addiction. It is well known that the 2 types of medications should not be mixed, and should be used with caution. (which I know because Ive been on the medicine for 6+ years). I explained I am no longer taking suboxone therefore I need a refill on my klonpins. she did not take a blood test or any test to verify anything. Her conclusion was to spend about 5-7 minutes with me and say she WOULD NOT do anything for me. She said she COULD, but she WOULD NOT. after paying $150 (with insurance) I was very frustrated that she essentially called me a liar and a simple blood test would show I was not taking suboxone anymore. Then she said "I can only prescribe you suboxone if you enroll in our OUTPATIENT PROGRAM which is 3 days a week for 3 HOURS each visit. I told her that I could not do that with my work schedule (not to mention the fact that the program cost NEARLY $4,000!!!!!!). So it was money issue for this place...they were not looking out for my health or anything else they were looking for me to enroll in their $4000 program in order to get prescribed suboxone.

The worst psychiatrist I’ve ever been to. The staff is aloof, unprofessional and clearly don’t have their act together. Dr. Davila is impersonal, uncaring and doesn’t seem to grasp the purpose of a good psychiatrist, as every time I’ve been there, she’s treated me no better than a barcode to be scanned. After I was mugged a few months ago (and dealing with the subsequent trauma), I told her about it and the most emotion she could muster was “oh I’m so sorry, are your meds okay?”, without any further regard to my psychological well being. Today at my appt, I was in the office for 2 hours and was talked to for less than 5 minutes. Absolute trash. Find another psychiatrist. --------- Update 9/17/18: As of 8/13/18 I am no longer welcome at Awakenings. I was not informed of this of course until a day before my medication runs out, leaving me without meds until I can get in to see another psychiatrist. They did not provide any explanation as to why I am no longer able to be seen here, but I have a feeling it might be related to this review. If that is the case, I can understand, but it is absolutely despicable that they wouldn't have attempted to let me know more than once until now, and furthermore quite contradictory to the fundamental tenants of providing healthcare of any kind. If you've had a good experience here, fine, but if you're looking for someone who cares, once again, find another psychiatrist - literally ANYONE else would be better than this.

Made an appointment with this office over a week ago based on a clinical recommendation. When we arrived for the appointment we were told we would have to pay the entire out of network rate even though they were indeed still in network, as of today. The office personnel stated that because the intake person did not get the information to begin, they were unable to use our insurance. Seemed very odd. The office staff was extremely unprofessional and told us we were welcome to find a new doctor if we weren’t comfortable paying out of network rates when they were in network.

My first appointment here today. The front desk receptionist was nice but extremely unorganized and didn’t know what she was doing. After waiting in the lobby for a few minutes someone (don’t know what her qualifications were, she was dressed in casual clothes and looked about 17-18) took me into a room and started asking questions. After the questions, Dr. Davila came in, read through some of my file, asked me about one or two questions, then gave me a number for a different psychiatrist. I was extremely frustrated after the appointment because I was in there for 5 minutes and the doctor didn’t ask me any kind of questions about my symptoms or what I had been dealing with. I had told her my doctor suggested I see psychiatrist for a ADHD and that had no impact on anything she asked me.

If 0 stars were an option that's exactly what this woman would get. So unbelievably rude and unprofessional. Rather than asking me what I'm capable of doing financially with a treatment plan she just slapped out some ridiculously overpriced outpatient. YET over the phone I told them I could not do that financially. Did they go ahead and tell me that there were other options to better suit my finances? Absolutely! I get in there and after making me pay to see the doctor that did nothing for me I find out, there's one option and I need $460 now. Literally in an hour and a half or I'm not serious about my recovery! This place is a scam if you are seeking help for substance abuse I highly recommend going elsewhere. All this place did was set me back $150 and made me feel like my situation is hopeless. I went in there thinking this was going to be the day everything started to look up and it was the beginning of a new chapter.

I had my initial appointment today and thought that it was very refreshing to be trusted and treated like an equal, and not patronized like you might experience with another psychiatrist. Maria is the Judge Judy of psychiatrists. She won't B.S. you, and that is refreshing. I love authentic people. If you are somebody who enjoys working with efficient and practical medical professionals, this is definitely the place for you. A special shout-out to the 23 year old Thai girl (I didn't catch her name), who normally works intake, but was the acting receptionist for the day. She literally had double the work load. She was the receptionist, and intake. Having never been a receptionist before, she was busy and overwhelmed, but it never affected her attitude and she was extremely courteous and conscientious with her duties. She was clearly a jack-of-all-trades today, and I've never seen anybody type that fast in my life. She's easily at 120 words per minute. I also watched her make sure that the Keurig machine was fully stocked and functional, and then she invited me to try some coffee. They don't serve cheap coffee! It's the good stuff. I went with a Dunkin' Donuts original blend, or is it just "Dunkin'," now? Anyway, what I'm trying to say, is that even the coffee was impressive.

I was a patient with Dr. Davila, and I never felt like I was treated with the respect and nurturing that I needed. What infuriates me is that I never felt heard. The lack of eye contact, me saying that I desperately needed help, and me constantly mentioning that my meds were making things worse - it never went through her mind to change or stop the meds. I eventually had to hospitalize myself to get things under control, and it turns out that I was being overmedicated combined with a thyroid issue that I didn't know about. She never checked to see if my meds could interact with other meds that I take for a serious pre-existing medical condition that I have, and I would have to do research about what meds I could and could not take. Sadly, the meds that would affect my other meds were the ones she prescribed to me. I was constantly being told to come back in six months despite feeling terrible. For me, that is an ethical concern. It was also very difficult to leave messages and receive a response back in a timely manner as I would have to call multiple times within 1-2 weeks to get a response. After my final visit of waiting in the lobymby for over an hour without being told why or sorry, I knew I had to find a doc that would actually listen to me and show some support. I felt like a number as the staff seemed overwhelmed, as well as Dr. Davila. Of you don't mind getting your meds dispensed as if it's candy, then this is the right fit.

I was a patient of Dr. Davila’s as well. The receptionist and staff has always been very helpful and accommodating. They are great and make you feel comfortable during your visit. Although, I have been in the same position as another reviewer with my meds and the Drs. carelessness. I too went multiple months between doctors visits and they would just call in my medications to the pharmacy. It was very confusing at first because I was always used to a monthly visit and then my meds were prescribed, with my previous doctor. There were even a few times that I had run out of my medicine, just to find out that the prescription was filled and waiting at the pharmacy for a couple days when I called the office to try to get in. So would’ve been nice for them to at least give you a call to let you know your medications were called in and ready. The office has a serious issue with communication, or the lack thereof. Now for the biggest issue I had, and reason for the one star rating. Through all of my appointments with Dr. Davilas office I was never once made to feel like my condition, or my concerns about my health, were ever taken seriously. I would sit in the examining room with someone who may have been a nurse, or a graduate student, not really sure what their qualifications were and was never told. They were always just dressed in business casual clothing. Never the typical nurses scrubs. We would review my health between my last appointment and now. Then, for the last three minutes of the appointment, Dr. Davila would make an appearance in order to sign off on everything and push you out the door. She would never take the time to discuss any of my concerns about my health or prescriptions. I was basically talked over before I could get a full sentence out of my mouth and was told how I felt. Like someone else said, don’t expect to get individualized treatment here. But trust me, they definitely care about your money... I was a patient of Dr. Davila’s as well.

I have met nothing but positive and caring staff at Dr Davila’s. I would recommend strongly.

Amazing staff! Treatment was great And works amazing. I’d recommend to anyone

Dr. Davila is great!!! I have been seeing her for years and she has helped me tremendously.

Super caring staff, and Dr Davila truly cares about my wellbeing. TMS has helped me immensely.

They have great support for those who suffer from ADD/ADHD like I do. Very polite and knowledgeable staff. If you have an issue with ADD/ADHD I'd highly recommend Awakenings.

They are extremely professional and will do everything in their power to help you feel better. The staff is very accomodating and flexible to schedule you in. The TMS improved my depression.

Dr Maria Davila has brought together an excellent team of psychiatric and madical professionals. Through there efforts I have become someone I can be proud of. A unique part of the team at Awakenings KC is their TMS or Trancranial Magnetic Stimulation group. Nino and his team provided a safe alternative to medications that provided more benefit than years of psychiatric medicine has offered before. I highly recommend talking with Dr Davila and her team about what they can do for you. Dr Maria Davila has brought together an excellent team of psychiatric and madical professionals.

Quality place with kind and caring people. Dr Davila is a wonderful doctor. Keep coming back here because the people are so nice????

I've read the negative reviews, and have had the opposite experience here. I've only been a patient for a few months, but was made to feel comfortable and cared for from the beginning. As others have said, the desk staff are very kind and accommodating, but the professional staff are as well. My concerns have all been addressed, validated and discussed. I have been given choices and made to feel an active participant in my own care. Maybe some others don't understand this, but Dr. Davila and the other staff are not the primary therapy providers, though this is offered at this location, but rather concerned with stabilization and medication management. This could be better communicated perhaps, but is typical for most or all psychiatric practices in this country today. Dr. Davila has been kind, caring and amazing from the first. I am very pleased with her care. I've read the negative reviews, and have had the opposite experience here.

She is not very kind or understanding. She tried to change 5 meds at once right before I was leaving the country for 3 weeks. She has poor bed side manner. As well, although she confirmed that my insurance would do a test, she sent it to an out-of-network company, leaving me with a $3500 bill for a test I did not want to take in the first place.

I have been doing the TMS therapy and it really works for my depression. I was depressed all the time and sleeping 15 hours a day. With TMS, I now sleep 8 hours a day and rarely have depressed moods. It's like a miracle. I finally have my life back. I also do IOP, which is a helpful tool to recovery as well with classes on coping and a group therapy section as well. I highlight recommend Awakenings.

I have been seeing Dr. Davila for several years and trust her judgement on medications, as well as my recovery path. I would highly recommend her to anyone with similar issues.

She is convenient and always helpful.

Dr. Davila is always excellent and helpful. I would recommend to all family and friends.

She is very helpful and very knowledgeable. She is always willing to help out her patients.

She is efficient and helpful. There are marked improvements since coming here

The staff is very welcoming and Dr. Davila and Dr. K always help me with everything I need.

I have been a patient of Dr. Davila's for a long time. When I was diagnosed with a serious condition, she and the staff were instrumental in working with my insurance to get my treatment approved as quickly as possible.

She is very friendly and enjoy talking with /dr. Soleymani. I have seen her for five years, and they sit down and listen to what you have to say without rushing you.

I've been seeing Dr. Davila for years, and she truly cares about my wellbeing.

She is very helpful, and always friendly. The staff is always good to me, and have never hesitated at my requests.

I was so disappointed after coming to this psychiatrist. I've been on Suboxone for over a year and needed a new doctor and wanted a psychiatrist that would care about me and my mind and body, vs a typical Suboxone doctor. Dr. Davila isn't it. I saw her, she shook my hand and then left the room. In the meantime, I waited 90 minutes to be seen, then was dealt with by a man in casual clothes. Was he an assistant, another doctor, or a PA? No idea. If he said, I don't remember hearing it. Same old..

I had a wonderful experience with Awakenings. Dr. Davila and her staff are attentive and work with you to achieve success. I spent about 8 weeks doing TMS and it has changed my life. I am in a much better place than before I found out about Awakenings. 5 stars! ??
