Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ajay and St Dranetz
They are working with me to adjust medications. Ajay is teaching me some coping skills. This is a great team that helps veterans.

Awareness, Plato’s allegory of the cave.
Dr. DRANETZ possessed great understanding of the environment that is his office, he conveyed the reasoning for the placement of clocks, chairs, tissue boxes, he is exceptional intelligent and has amazing pattern recognition. I highly recommend him to anyone reading. Although he can be a bit stern and firm with his words, it can be scary. But nonetheless he knows what he’s talking about

The Right Stuff
It begins with an efficient LeeAnn front office thereafter into high-IQ consultation with doc that seems to hold a crystal ball on events past and future in only an hour's time, if fed enough homework.

Honest, direct, helpful, and ...
I'd highly recommend Dr. Dranetz to those seeking or in need of Psychiatric care, meds, follow-ups, and help. Be prepared to 'hear it like it is' toward a treatment plan and options right for you. Honestly, he's very straightforward, and imo, there's an underlying, brilliant approach to his advice, findings, suggestions, and follow-up visits.In my experience, I've benefitted greatly from visiting with Dr. Dranetz, as I've found good mental health to be as important as good physical health - perhaps even more important, honestly. Life is better, for me, and I'd hope the same for you. Affordable, caring, and direct ... What more could one want from their Psychiatrist? If you're in need of help, or counseling, see someone, get help, and I'd highly recommend calling or visiting Dr. Dranetz and his associates, staff, etc al.

Great experience
I was really nervous about my 1st visit but it went really well. The receptionist was super friendly and helpful and Dr. Dranetz was very attentive to my concerns. I’m looking forward to working with his practice.

Very thorough
Dr Dranetz was very thorough and really worked with me to assess my history and needs. He was honest about the treatment path and set reasonable expectations for me. I came away with a lot to think about, and will be using his services in the future.

Awful! DO NOT EXPECT HELP HERE! He took my grandmother off multiple medications and when she experienced psychosis and was taken to the ER twice over a weekend, he refused to alter her medication to stabilize her. He had been warned by multiple family members that she was showing signs of spiraling into a manic episode in the weeks before and he refused to schedule an appointment before her already scheduled appointment three months away. When family reached out to ask him to assess her while in the ER he said "there are people there that do that" which was not true. He clearly doesn't care for his patients or their families and has forgotten his oath to do no harm.

He’s very arrogant, rude and ignorant, if you disagree with him he treats you like you’re an idiot. He doesn’t listen to his patients at all and I never felt comfortable with him. During our last appointment he personally attacked me and refused to prescribe me any medication except for a week’s worth of seroquel because I told him the medication I was on stopped working. He actually told me that I’m too far gone just because I didn’t agree with him!

Dr. Dranetz told me there was "nothing he could do for me" & that he felt I was just listing symptoms after having already been diagnosed and hospitalized by other psychiatrists in the past. After being hospitalized at my wife's insistence, a doctor at the mental health facility saw that I had recently been prescribed a common statin medication that causes depression. I was taken off that medication by a good doctor and returned to my normal mental state in short order. Dr. Dranetz is terrible

Harlock in San Angelo, TX – May 20, 2017
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Dranetz?
Dr Dranetz failed to disclose dual relationships that I believe affected my treatment. Dr Dranetz refuses to prescribe many common medications. He cut me off from some of the medications that had helped me to get back on my feet. Dr Dranetz berated me within the first 5 minutes of our first meeting. This was loud enough to be heard in the waiting room. In my opinion his diagnosis was bizarre. No psychiatrist, has ever concurred. I was afraid of him but did not have insurance so I could not leave
