3 Best Psychiatrists in Townsville, QLD

I’ve seen seven different psychiatrists since I was 15 and Dr Caniato is the only psychiatrist I recommend. He’s the best I’ve ever seen - genuine life saver. Listens to me and takes a genuine interest in my life and wellbeing, instead of just running through a checklist of symptoms and slapping me with a label. Also provides insights and advice that psychologists never gave me. Not afraid to use medication either - you get real value for money. Always leave his office feeling way better as opposed to even worse, which is how I felt with every other psychiatrist I’ve seen. Any psychiatrist who isn’t at least as great as him is a total waste of time and money.

I have been in Dr C care since being ref in 2010 and he has saved my life after suffering debilitating anxiety & depression he medicated me and has been a constant support to me as a patient Dr C genuinely cares and is a wealth of knowledge.

I went to over 20 doctors before Dr Riccardo. Non were able to appropriately diagnose and medicate me. He listened, understood and wasn't patronising at all. He went above and beyond to help me.

After living with what I always thought was PTSD from the military, after many years I recently sought help from Dr Likely. A terrific human being, warmed to him within the first 10 minutes. A Doctor that is not only an expert in his profession, but through his own experiences can relate to those of his patients. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Likely.

Very approachable person who has relatable experience in the armed forces particularly combat corps relating to war trauma and is very easy to talk to and more than willing to help with any issues you may have. Hands down the best psychiatrist in the country.

This man saved my life, considering he has serious health issues of his own he is the most attentive, caring and empathetic person I have the pleasure of meeting.

I generally don’t like psychiatrists but Jane Hay is AMAZING!!! Yes she is often late but that is because she genuinely cares! Rather than watching the clock, she gives her patients the time they need. She is very down to earth and easy going. She is so easy to chat with because she is real and honest. She has a big heart and really listens. She is smart, very experienced and works so hard to support her patients. Jane, thank you, you are my FAVOURITE!!

Yes, Dr Hay is often late. Mental health is not a quick fix, these are serious drugs for serious issues and I will be forever grateful to her for not rushing me. For taking the time to listen and understand what is happening in order to help me get my LIFE back.

I was with Jane for over 5 years. I have to admit she was nothing but unbelievable with me. She was very compassionate and caring. I owe a lot to Jane In getting back to becoming me again. Thank you Jane.
