Menninger Brent, MD

I’ve recommended Dr. Menninger to several close friends. After bouncing from doc to doc with little to no progress (and in some cases, regression), I finally found the guidance, medicinal support, and «honest intervention» that I needed.
Menninger is educated and practical. He uses clinical knowledge, as well as, learned advice from others to aide in his counsel.
Grade «A»!

Dr. Menninger has been my psychiatrist since August of last year, when my previous doctor closed her practice. I’ve been very pleased with the care I’ve gotten from Dr. Menninger, especially in managing my medication. He was extremely helpful and concerned when I developed tardive dyskinesia (TD) from Abilify, which had been prescribed by my former doctor. It turned out I had been taking it at a high dose for quite a long time, and Dr. Menninger thought I should discontinue it. When I did, the TD symptoms showed up (involuntary mouth and facial movements that were obvious and annoying). He’s been very good about working with me and my neurologist in coordinating care as I’ve been treated for the TD symptoms.
Dr. Menninger is cautious and conservative when it comes to medication, which I very much appreciate after my experience with Abilify. I see him regularly, although only every few months, to check in on how things are going with my medications. These are short appointments and somehow there’s no co-​payment for them with my medical plan, so I certainly like that!
During appointments Dr. Menninger takes his notes on his computer as he goes along. It seemed odd, at first, as I wasn’t used to that, but now I don’t notice it, and being «connected» Dr. Menninger can rapidly find and print out studies and articles on various issues for you while you’re sitting in his office, which is very handy.
All in all, definitely recommended!
