A top notch, no nonsense mental health professional. Dr Skarsten is open, honest and cuts to the chase. He is kind and caring. As a patient with complex needs, he addressed each one and discussed all options with me. He has treated me as a complete individual. The entire approach that he adopted has been holistic and well balanced. Taking into account the physical health problems that I have, a long history of mental illness, a colourful background and some undeniable personality quirks, he is evidently an experienced and well versed psychiatrist. I have left his office several times strong in the belief that he has done his utmost not only to keep me safe but also to provide me with the tools I have needed to get through some of the most difficult times of my life. Selfishly, I am so pleased that he has not been scooped up by academia and that he continues to work in rural areas where quality mental health care is difficult to access. The work he does with the limited resources available is remarkable. Dont waste his time and when you really his, he will give it to you.
