Dr. Nathan Harold Thuma, MD

criminally minded psychiatrist that gets covered up by criminals in the system and got minimum criminal charges instead of maximum that were required, but were hidden by California medical board and its investigators.

Brought my husband to Dr. Thuma in 2017 after a dozen other doctors including psych and med, could not help his situation. My husband had very slurred speech, what appeared to be a worse case of Tourette's Syndrome, emotions that were bouncing all over the place and a very unbalanced mental state. Friends and family were convinced he had a stroke, yet no medical evidence existed to support this. After several appointments, Dr. Thuma prescribed anti-depressants and concluded D had an extreme case of Tardive Dyskinesia. Dr. Thuma prescribed a new drug called Ingrezza. What a difference! As long as D takes his medication on time daily along with the Ingrezza his emotions, temper and physical movements are so much improved. D is so happy and comfortable seeing Dr. Thuma that we will continue to make appointments and hope he doesn't retire anytime soon! Thanks Doc!

Dr. Thuma is hands-down the worst psychiatrist I've ever seen. He laughed at me when I told him how depressed I was, and he called me "weird". He completely lacks compassion for his patients. Avoid him.

This con artist quotes one price in writing then charges more in person,no ethics whatsoever here. The office is a disheveled crackerbox. Save your money and seek help elsewhere.

I had a battle with anxiety and depression as a result of a lot of change in my life in a short amount of time. My career was dipping and my public speaking events were causing panic attacks. My primary care physician literally told me that I just need to find another job, but Dr. Thuma actually listened to my concerns and believed that short term help through pharmaceuticals could get me through a very rough time in my life. Fast forward a year and a half later and I'm now in control of my life and do not need many of the prescriptions I needed when I had my first appointment. I'm actually one of the leaders of my team in business development, obtaining goals that match my potential, and in a great place in my marriage and family. Be honest with yourself and with him, it will only do you good.

the DEA called me and requested a sit down to get info about Dr Thuma and the drugs he has been prescribing me. normally i would have ignored such a request, but the good DR screwed me over. thank god i recorded everything.

Amazing man and doctor

Nathan Thuma has destroyed my life. Not only was his diagnosis inaccurate, he put me on antipsychotic drugs and antidepressants and benzodiazepines and mood stabilizers all of which were unnecessary and his diagnosis was bogus. I can't express how fully this man has destroyed my life. I caution you strongly to seek treatment elsewhere. Do not make the same mistake I did.

Just wants money

Dr. Thuma has treated my mother and me for various conditions. Both my mother and I have appreciated the time and care that Dr. Thuma has extended us. Dr. Thuma is empathetic and kind and is extremely good at diagnosing and treating the conditions we have had.

hard working dr. and helps find proper treatment, even if it takes many meetings

I honestly do not know how anyone can write a good review about this doctor not only myself, but my brother went to him at the same time I was going to him and he had the same experience I had. I saw him for about a year before I had to go to a Drug Treatment program. Doctor Thuma is a Drug addicts Dream come true ! He has a very arrogant way about him. Once he gets you hooked on the Drugs he prescribes you are at his mercy and treats you as so. Doctor Thuma is all about the Money and NOT about the best care of his patients. I don't know how to put the hundreds of text messages I received from him over the course of a year on this review, but I will finds a way to do so and then you will all see that what I am saying is true. Please do NOT go to this doctor he is a HORRIBLE man. I am NOT writing this review out of revenge only for the safety of his patients and potential new patients. Unfortunately the only way I can leave a review is by clicking a star. He doesn't deserve even one Star ! Sincerely, A former Patient whose life and Family have been hurt by this Man....

I visited Dr. Thuma seeking help coping with some anxiety and insomnia issues I was experiencing. I didn't have a recommendation for him, but he was one of the few psychiatrists covered by my health insurance and he was accepting new patients so I thought I would give him a try. Oh, how I wish I would have done some asking around first. In two visits (lasting maybe 10 to 15 minutes a session), he prescribed me 5 different powerful drugs. When I told him I have reason to suspect I may have a hereditary condition, he actually laughed at me. He said, no I don't think that's your problem. This is within five minutes of meeting him. Yet he immediately felt confident of knowing me and my state of mind well enough to prescribe very strong drugs? Against my better judgement, I went ahead and tried the first round of drugs. Unfortunately, I had a very bad experience and it made things worse which sadly isn't uncommon with these drugs. He wanted to then put me on even more powerful drugs. These are drugs one is supposed to take only for a few days to a week at maximum. He was prescribing them for long term use. When I confronted him about that, he said he had many clients that have been on these "short term" drugs for years under his guidance. That told me everything I needed to know. Since I don't want to live a life under strong and potentially dangerous medication, I made that my last session. I have since shared my experience with other Dr's and health professionals and their jaws dropped when they heard about what he prescribed and the duration he wanted to keep me on them. Needless to say, Dr. Thuma's bedside manner is not one of listening to his patients, nor does he seek to establish trust and come up with a thorough plan to help you get better. If you are seeking out a Dr. to write a script for whatever drug you ask for, I suspect you will be thrilled with his service. If you are unlucky enough to find your way to his office in a state of stress, looking for real comprehensive help, then I am truly concerned for your safety. I have since found two other past patients of Dr. Thuma and their bad experiences were equally as shocking as mine. Don't make the same mistake I did. I should have done my research and driven further to seek out better care or even paid out of pocket for a closer doctor. Since consulting with other professionals who listened to my original problems, I'm doing much better and without all the strong, dangerous drugs.

I found Dr. Thuma to be on point, thorough and very helpful. Highly recommend.

I have been going to see Dr. Thuma for several years. I work in Fairfield and am willing to drive all the way to St Helena just to see this provider, He has always been kind and considerate. The appointments are easy to make and the wait times are none existent. Once I am in his office and we are talking about my issues, I feel as though he truly listens to what I have to say and by doing this it shows me that I am important and the way i feel is validated. He is very knowledgeable in the medications he can prescribe. I really really do like this provider and highly recommend him to anyone.

I was referred to dr. Thuma by my family counselor, sadly, he did not accept my insurance, Humana. However, he was extremely kind and helpful with all of my insurance questions and giving me advice on other drs. that do accept my insurance. He went out of his way to help me, with no personal gain for himself. Left me with a great impression.

I've met with many psychiatrists over the years and Nathan Thuma is unequivocally the worst. He is rude and standoffish and cruel. I'm amazed he went into a profession the aim of which is to help people. He is unkind and should be avoided.

I have been seeing Dr. Thuma for about a year now. He is the first truly caring doctor I have ever had and has helped me get my life back in control from a debilitating neurological condition. My condition is an ongoing daily battle, Dr. Thuma is my weapon of choice. My wife and I are so grateful for the strides I have made because of him.
