Dr. JOHANESE SANDY, DNP, FNP-C, PMHN-BC

“My experience with this provider was extremely uncomfortable and unprofessional. I was unexpectedly placed on speakerphone during a conversation without my knowledge or consent while he was in the room with my partner. At the time, I was told she was at lunch, so I had no idea I was being overheard. Because Maryland is a two-party consent state, I should have been informed in advance and asked for permission. Instead, I was unaware another person — especially a therapist — was listening. This immediately created a feeling of violation and disrespect. When I requested clarity about what was happening, the situation escalated quickly and unnecessarily. Rather than de-escalate or maintain professional boundaries, the provider engaged in the exchange in a way that intensified the conflict. The situation escalated to the point where he contacted the police, which was shocking to me given that everything occurred over speakerphone and not in person. This response felt excessive, unexpected, and completely outside what I would consider a therapeutic or professional approach. I left the entire experience feeling blindsided, disrespected, and deeply uncomfortable with the boundaries that were crossed. Everyone deserves a therapeutic environment grounded in honesty, transparency, neutrality, and respect. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here.”

“I have experienced psychological challenges since childhood. Dr. Sandy is the first physician with whom I have felt comfortable being my authentic self. My mental health has remained stable under his care, and I am profoundly grateful for this stability. 🙏 ❤️”

“Truly the worst experience I’ve ever had with a psychiatrist. I do not recommend. Save yourself the trouble and take your money to someone who will actually care about your mental health and wellbeing.”

“Dr. Sandy was okay but the billing team is really sketchy. My previous payments were not showing on my bill and I had to call several times to get in contact with someone at their billing department. The receptionist tried saying that I had not made any payments at all. Then, an Indian man named “Sam smith” was condescending and said that I needed to contact my insurance if I have questions about my deductible. Once he finally understood the issue and “fixed” the bill, numbers were moved around and I still owed the same amount even with my previous payments. The doctor is now refusing to fill my prescriptions unless I book another $650 appointment.”
