Telepsychiatry Mostly with Options for In-person or Housecalls
Dr. Matthew Sachs, MD is ready to take your call, a "virtual call" that is. Dr. Sachs is embarking on a new way to handle psychiatric visits in the aftermath of COVID. Appointments can be conducted via Zoom chat sessions. This enables a safe, private and secure way to treat patients. He has an in-person suite location that can used when needed. House calls are also possible.

ADHD Specialist

I have a specific interest and passion for treating children, adolescents, and adults who have suffered from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). I've treated hundreds if not thousands of patients by now. I have successfully completely an intensive Certified ADHD Professional Clinical Provider course. There has been a stigma in treating this issue and it is hard to find help, but I am looking to break the mold and provide treatment to as many people as possible.
Child Psychiatrist

This past year has put a specific emphasis on mental health in the child and adolescent population. I know how high the demand can be for help and the outpatient supply is very low. I hope I can make a difference in the life of a young person struggling out there. Being a father, I want everyone to be happy and healthy. I have specific interests in managing behaviors that arise from autism spectrum disorders and helping teenagers feel safe and secure and they become young adults.
Adult Psychiatrist

There are many conditions that were swept under the rug when many adults were once children themselves. I hope now that the stigma surrounding mental health is finally subsiding, more people can seek the help they have been missing for years. I can assist in any stage of life, with almost any psychiatric issue that exists. My goal is to maximize your functioning so you can live life to its fullest potential, in peace and happiness.

Bravo. Kudos. I caught up with local current events today, and there you were, boldly and courageously challenging the rectitude of local powers that be. Iโm sure legions in Hampton Roads have offered you support and encouragement, but I couldnโt resist sending you my own. I wrote a lot, but deleted it allโฆ.the curse of an ADDer.
I wrote about moral compasses. And how yours points true north, for sure. And how when paired with moral intelligence, and honor (and hutzpah), itโs a rare and beautiful thing to behold. It was a singular joy for me to read about you and well, everything.
No need to respond to this email as I imagine your plate is pretty full these days. With sincere respect and warm regards, Judy M. -

I had a great experience working with Dr. Sachs. He patiently listened to me and asked thoughtful follow-up questions, even going beyond the allotted time for the appointment. In response, he designed a care plan that provided immediate relief but also focused on how I could work towards a better quality of life in the long term. I canโt recommend Dr. Sachs enough! -

Excellent and professional doctor. I have recommended him to my own friends and family as I have received effective care through both medications and talk therapy. Dr. Sachs provides something I have never experienced before in a counselor, therapist, or psychiatrist - an actual timeline of recovery that is quick, but not rushed and actually feeling herd, listened to, and treated like a human being and not just a paycheck. It was a quick process to become a patient and make a first appointment. Payment is easy (expensive, but health insurance may be able to reimburse you directly) and Dr. Sachs is great about keeping up with medications and swiftly addressing any mix-ups between patient/drug store/doctor. 10/10, highly recommend! -

Dr. Sachs is incredible. He puts in the extra work to make sure his patients have the best possible experience, and works hard to ensure that they get the most affordable prices as well. He really cares about his patients, and heโs the first doctor Iโve had that will really go the extra mile. Canโt recommend Dr. Sachs enough! -

I'm a retired professional, previously diagnosed with adult ADHD and treated for many years until my 2017 retirement. Recently, I had the good fortune to seek out and connect with Dr. Sachs as I seek help and guidance resuming treatment. During this, our initial visit, he listened keenly to my history. Then he asked for clarifying input, engaged me in a collaborative discussion, and addressed various medical options along with their pros and cons. He was clearly knowledgeable (understatement) and seemed intuitive about which paths forward could work for me, yet he was neither condescending nor dismissive as he addressed, at length, my questions. As we chatted, it became clear this was to be a two-person solution-oriented relationship. I never felt like just another specimen under the microscope. If I've done anything for myself, it's connecting with Dr. Sachs for help. I don't need sugar coated back rubs, nor am I looking for someone to coddle me. He was approachable and kind of course, but his superpower was skillfully steering me towards the path lined with solutions that can work for me. It's a journey I'm eager to take with Dr. Sachs as my guide. -

My family had never participated in any type of psychiatry services prior to our appointment with Dr. Sachs, and we will never need to look elsewhere for services because he was fantastic. Dr. Sachs spent time with us, learning our story, our history, our background and helped us dig in deep and think about things in ways that we hadn't before. His approach is straight-forward and he was willing to lead us through the hard conversations. Dr. Sachs was able to give us clear, tangible next steps and has continued to be a positive voice in our journey; and we could not be more grateful. -

We quickly got an appointment with Dr. Sachs and weโre able to sit on talk with him in the comfort of our own home via zoom. We had an open discussion in which we were able to make some strides on working towards growth and progress for my child. Would highly recommend! -

Dr. Sachs is consistent, thorough in determining diagnosis, and provides clear explanations to support his decision. I am confident in his abilities and would refer him to my closest friends and family.

Dr. Mathew Sachs is Godโs gift to the community. He is doing the Lordโs work. He takes his time during appointments to really serve his patients. Not only do you leave the appointments feeling really cared about, you feel he is your rock and has your best interest in mind. It is so refreshing to come across a physician whose number one priority is being a servant of God through serving his patients. There is no number of stars that would suffice to give this physician the review he deserves. He is truly one of a kind. -

Dr. Sachs has been great to me.... been with him since 2020. -

Dr. Sachs is a superb psychiatrist. He is one of the few that incorporate talk therapy in addition to medication appointments, no matter how long you've been a patient. He is laid back, but very knowledgeable and nonjudgmental. I recommend him to everyone. And I am so glad Dr. Sachs finally has his own practice! I've switched to his different practices over the years, and it's nice to know he's at his final location. Setting up your first telehealth appointment with the new practice can take a little work/tech-savvy, but after the first one, it's easy. FYI, he provides you with the claim to submit to your insurance and does not file directly. You pay for the appointment upfront (which can be pricey, see website for fees) but your insurance will reimburse you directly after you mail in the claim. Some insurances even reimburse more than what you paid upfront! If you are looking for a psychiatrist he is absolutely the best in Hampton Roads. -

I went to him while he worked at Reboot and loved him but now that heโs starting his own practice I canโt be more excited!! Heโs very helpful, and you can tell he cares so much about his patients and thatโs all Iโve ever wanted in a doctor. When he left Reboot to start up his own practice, he took the time to personally call me and continue to give me free care which is extremely nice of him to do, and thatโs how you know he cares about all of his patients. I am planning on staying with him through his new practice and I canโt wait for the future of my mental health. Thank you, Dr. Sachs!!
