Blacksburg Psychiatry & TMS

“Dr. Holland has been an excellent psychiatrist to work with. He listens carefully, takes concerns seriously, and is thoughtful about treatment options. I appreciate that he stays up-to-date on newer approaches and is willing to explore different strategies when standard treatments haven’t been enough. Overall, I’ve found him knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. I’m grateful for the support and would recommend him to others looking for a psychiatrist who takes both treatment and patient needs seriously.”

“I had a very positive experience with Dr. Holland and his TMS Tech Clifford. When I first heard about TMS therapy the only place to go for it was Roanoke. But I was so happy when I found out Dr. Holland was doing it in Blacksburg. I did 20 minute treatment sessions 5 days a week for 6 weeks. And I truly do feel better. I'm more optimistic and resilient and I can pull myself out of rumination spirals before they really sink their teeth in. Overall it was completely worth it. I didn't experience any negative side effects and so far post-treatment the benefits are holding up. Consistently finding parking was the hardest part 😅”

“I'm very lucky that Dr. Holland opened his practice in my area in the spring of 2023. I was struggling for several years to find a psychiatrist and happened to be on another renewed search. Not only are there very few practicing near me and long wait times, but just relating personally to my experiences in life. I was at my wits end and resistant to medication to treat my obstacles in life when I came across. Dr. Holland. In my experience with mental health professionals, he is one of the few that truly understands my experiences and patiently empathizes with my concerns. From his biography, I was impressed with his medical training as a DO and Ph.D. in Biophysics. During our first session, he demonstrated an immense knowledge of my challenges, medications for them, and first hand experiences in other patients experiences. Moreso, he wouldn't become overly explanatory and kept things simple. He educated me on several supplements that could be beneficial rather than controlled substances too. Additionally, he provided me with some assessments to help me better understand myself and my issues. Finally, he would send me emails containing notes from our conversations too. He has been helping me for a year now to explore different medications to address and alleviate my issues. Although, there is no quick fix solutions and the process for identifying medications that work well for each individual takes time, he has helped me find a good balance of medications and reassurance of their benefits in my journey. Life has been much better because of his help. I would also like to add that his staff has been top notch. When I was on my search, I spoke with several staff members of offices in the area and his office manager Sue stood out as one of the best. She has been very responsive to my needs. In fact, this past Friday, I sent her an email about being unable to schedule a time with Dr. Holland before his vacation. I would be running out of my medications this week as well. I've been unavailable to schedule a time due to additional overtime at work. Over the weekend, she emailed me and was able to work me into a time Monday morning. She is very dedicated to helping patients too and I'm so grateful for her. Additionally, it has been incredibly convenient that Dr. Holland is not limited to in-office visits and is available via live streaming sessions or phone calls. Due to work demands, being able to speak to him during my breaks has been a literal life saver. I hope others have an opportunity to receive the much needed help that I have received.”

“Dr. Holland is a very caring and thorough doctor. He takes the time to listen to your concerns and explains things to you in detail. His staff is extremely caring and attentive to your needs and in making sure you get your appointments and follow up care in a timely manner. We highly recommend their services.”
