Dr. Covey cares. He doesn't convey that he cares by emoting, because his job is to find meds that are appropriate for your treatment. His does this very well. He assesses the situation, asks the right questions, adjusts things if needed, and doesn't laugh at my jokes.

Dr. Covey seems thorough and caring at first, but as time goes on, he seems more and more irritated by his patients. He just puts you on whatever medication comes to his mind first, and doesn’t change anything if you get worse, he just ups the dosage.
He is very unprofessional.

I've been seeing Dr. Covey for a little over a year now on a regular basis for my medications and I have nothing but good things to say about him and Michelle. I feel very comfortable speaking with Dr. Covey and that has been difficult for me with my doctors in the past, I'm truly thankful I found this practice!

Dr covey... Where to start? The man is a doctor. He is not a therapist. He knows his stuff about meds. Been seeing him for about a year now and couldnt be happier. I came to him with a very complex life and mental illness desperately seeking help after fighting with big offices to get help and being forces into therapy to talk about problems caused by a chemical imbalance. Now again... Keep in mind he is not a therapist, but explain your symptoms and he will recommend what he knows will help. He even recently was able to identify a completely separate issue that had been missed by every doctor of mine going back the last 20 years, prescribed a med for it and has been very good on follow up with side effects and symptoms. Highly recommend to anyone who is at their wits end with these other med doctors who want to force you into something you dont need

Dr. Covey is a very odd man. If you are hoping for him to be a caring person you will be disappointed. He does not care if you are distraught. I have been seeing him for over a year now because he was the only provider who accepted my insurance at the time.
In terms of diagnosing you, he basically lets you pick your medicine rather than recommending a particular one. To make your decision, he hands you a book that lists all potential side effects and other information such as half life, etc. I cannot stress enough how anti-social this man is. He will not speak to you about your problems, only medication. If you are 5 minutes late; the receptionist, Michelle, will say you are too late. meanwhile in the roughly 10 or so appointments I have had with him, they have reliably started 30 minutes after my scheduled time.
Michelle, the only employee, is amazingly insensitive and rude. Rarely will answer the phone. Usually takes a day or so to respond to voicemails.

Terrible Doctor, it's a fact from patients to his professional colleagues his reputation is in ruins due to his actions, rude, volatile outbursts, refuses meds for no reason, treated my spouse like she was a ignorant fool, total unprofessional practices, you can see he has been reprimanded and his license is currently under review. These are not characteristics of a quality caring doctor, read the reviews and save yourself a nightmare, move on to a REAL quality doctor, he will NOT help you no matter how many fake positive reviews he posts

Office Staff communicates very unprofessionally. Does not know how to bill insurance.The doctor showed up at the office 10 minutes before my appointment and then proceeded to take in another patient before me. After asking why my first appointment was 30 minutes late and if he had reviewed my records he abruptly said we are finished here.
There is something very wrong in this office.

Dr. Covey has been an excellent psychiatrist for me. He doesn't coddle me; he tells me what he thinks and what we can do about it. His medication recommendations have been for the most part spot-on. I've been seeing him for a few years now and I'm much happier with how I feel.

He's the worst. Rude as all get out. He doesn't care about your issues at all. He just wants your money. He told me I was an addict. He didn't prescribe the medication I needed. He's terrible. Awful. Please don't waste your time. Get the real help that you need.

I'll admit that Dr Covey doesn't have the greatest bedside manner, very professional and amazing at pinpointing which medicines would be most effective for you.BUT, then there's that shrew of a receptionist!
Last February I had to cancel an appointment due to a very large snow storm, I'm 1/2 way between the Springs and Pueblo, on 7 acres ( let's just say ice is not my friend! ) Yes, I called Michelle WAY ahead of time to cancel, Semi cold doc, frigid power hungry shrew for a receptionist!

Where do I start with this joke of a practice.
1) Charge a $150 deposit to even schedule an appointment. Then I show up to the appointment 20 minutes ahead of time and the doctor doesn't walk into until 30 minutes after the appointment was supposed to start.
30 MINUTES LATE, 30 MINUTES!!!!!!!
When I confronted the doctor about it, he made nothing but excuses for why he wasn't there on time.
2) Michelle (the receptionist) - I don't know whats wrong with this woman, but she is a mon

This man lacks respect and common courtesy for people/patients. It is easy to get an appointment with him for a reason. While the office is nice and the front desk staff if kind his professionalism is lacking as he is unable to listen and his replies to questions are rude.

I have been with Dr Corby for around. 5yrs. I was with another person and they had me like a zombie.
The first time I seen Dr Covey he had me stop some of the meds I was on and put me on meds that HELPED me. I was feeling more like myself after the first visit. Now I feel fantastic . more like myself than ever. I have followed him through every place he has had to move. I would recommend Jim to anybody.

I had an appointment on 7/11/20
only to find the doors locked. They called that afternoon explaining and apologizing. I scheduled this appointment 3 weeks in advance and made a $150.00 deposit. This cost me a half day of work. Very unproffisional.

I would not recommend Dr. Covey. When I had a problem with not being able to get my antidepressant from a military pharmacy before my other pills ran out (military pharmacy ended up having to special order it which takes 4 to 7 days) , he would not work with me in giving me some samples. So basically he didn't care if I abruptly came off the antidepressant medication he prescribed me, had severe withdrawals and severe symptoms. It's very serious to just stop a medication like that.

I come to Dr. Covey with some complex problems sometimes. He always educates me in the areas I've been struggling with. I believe he truly cares for me as a patient.
