Dr Varkula provides a calm, yet professionally intellectual assessment of her patients because of her empathetic demeanor. One does not feel rushed. She is prompt in returning messages and shares her continued medical knowledge about new medications and old standards.

Dr. Varkula has helped me in battling my depression and anxiety immensely. I struggled for 10 years before meeting her. She includes me and works with me in all of the decisions and changes regarding my health. I am finally feeling great about my mental health!
Office staff is not the friendliest. They seem miserable and you can always hear them complaining, but I am not there to see them, I am here to see Dr. V.

Staff was rude, unhelpful, and bungled our initial appointment, and reckless for her medication refills. They blamed my daughter with autism for their scheduling error (Karen, I even called and left you a voicemail confirming the appointment you made with my daughter THE SAME DAY, shame on you—own your error), which is dispicable. No reasonable attempt was made to involve Dr. Varkula for a reasonable resolution. Dr. Varkula, if you monitor these comments, your staff needs to be reviewed!

Dr. Varkula in some ways is competent. However, I found that over time, she did not seem to work as a team (child, doctor, parent). She did not adequately address my concerns about medication. As my child's treatment progressed, and her recommendations were questioned, rather than work towards a family centered solution, the relationship became almost adversarial. Be cautious.

Dealing with Dr. Varkula was one of the worst experiences of my life. She was the first of several psychiatrists to work with our child. I believe Dr. Varkula set back my child's progress by months and was absolutely dangerous. Comes of charming at first - then gets positively evil - while smiling at you the whole time.
