Great Doctor & Pleasant Experience more

I have seen one of the psychiatrists and spoken with one on the phone. Was not impressed with either of these. The office manager would not allow me to switch to another psychiatrist at their center and would not give my message to the psychiatrist I wished to transfer to. I wanted a psychiatrist who was more interested in me getting well than taking medicine. I became addicted to Ativan, a medicine the original psychiatrist prescribed me. He did not tell me it caused dependency. Once I realized I had become dependent, he wouldn't take me off, saying I needed to take these meds for my condition (anxiety and panic). I told him the meds made it worse, because I got panicky and nervous every day as the effects wore off. he told me that was my disorder. So, I weaned myself off them. It was very difficult for about three weeks, almost hell, but I was so much better after I came off them. And then I pursued cognitive treatment of my anxiety through a psychologist and then a therapist. I am amazed how helpful that was, and so thankful I stood up to the psychiatrist. Please, be careful. Psychiatrists should respect their patients' wishes in terms of medication. I would have been a basket case now and on many types of meds if I did not have the courage to have done what I did. more

I was not impressed with the office. It took me over a month to get in (and I really needed help at that moment). They give you a phone message 2 days prior to the appointment and patients with ADD/ADHD like myself would forget in 48 hours. Then they charge you for your missed appointment. When you finally get in there the Doctor will give you a script and then make a follow up appointment 1 month later, then 1 month later you are ready to talk and get help then the doctor tells you that he is not the one that you talk to, but you have to make an appointment with one of his counselors. So it?s been over 2 months and I still have not gotten the help I need. I was very disappointed. It was hard to make the call to get help in the first place and then when I finally did, I could not get the help I needed in the time frame that I needed. So now I will have to start over again, and I really don?t want to go through that mess again... Pros: Crazy front desk ladies, which makes you feel better about yourself Cons: If your new to getting mental help its not very user friendly more

Dr. Reddick helped my son and thus, helped our family. He was willing to help when everyone else thought it was too early to intervene. I know now, my son has a future. There is often a long long wait, but there is plenty to do in the waiting room, and the staff is very conversational. Gotta love Nikki! Treatment is totally worth the wait. Oh yeah! We drive 50 miles to see Dr Reddick. Pros: Doctors knowledge Cons: distance to the office more

I've been going to see Dr. Melvin for a number of years. His knowledge of medicine and OCD treatment has been a blessing to me. Recently I've been in the Awakenings group recovery program directed by Steve Hanna for my substance abuse problem. It would be unusual to meet one person who can truly help; it is frankly a miracle to me that I have the privilege of receiving help from two gifted and compassionate people at the same clinic. The staff is warm and welcoming; one is certainly treated with respect. Eastover Psyc is stellar in my opinion and that is thanks to the people who have helped me there. more

This institution is only interested to get your money without giving you an adequate service.I do not recommend this place at all. Cons: doctor, counseler more

The whole staff, Dr. Steven Sutherland in particular, are professional, helpful, and truly concerned for their clients mental health needs. I have been going here for almost seven years and have yet to b disappointed. Perfect for youth, young adult and adult treatment. Pros: Most everything Cons: On occasion the wait can be almost 45 min. This is rare though. more

He's a great resource for medication managementon child bi-polars, OCD and ODD.\r He is like a member of the family. Remember, no matter how great the Dr. YOU must be an advocate for your child, never take no for an answer. Pros: Staff si very personable and understanding Cons: parking is awkward more

I wouldn't go anywhere else for my mental health needs. Dr. Lurie hears you and is not a medicine pusher like many mental health professions are! more

Dr. Melvin had been a tremendous help to me. He's one of the inest medical professionals I've ever had, and I'm almost 57. I recommend him without qualification. Cons: office wait more

Scott Lurie is a very personable and understanding man. He truly listens to what I am saying which makes him very easy to talk to. He has helped me become a better person and I don't know where I would be now without his help. Pros: professional, caring, experienced more
