Middle Tennessee Psychiatric

I have taken my son to Dr Kyger for almost a year. I am VERY displeased with the care and service he has received. The only time I have gotten to speak with Dr Kyger concerning my son's progress is in the waiting room among everone waiting for their appt. I guess they haven't heard of the HIPAA Privacy Laws. We go for his appts and he is taken back to the office, then he comes out with a prescription and an appt card for the next appt. NO COMMUNICATION with me, his mother about the plan of care or the diagnosis. Also, the office staff is TERRIBLE! Extremely rude, disorganized. I've been charged for 'NO SHOW' appts several times at $60 a pop when I've called ans asked to reschedule appts (weeks in advance) and the office staff did not cancel the appt as they were suppose to. I called numerous times to the billing office to get this corrected, left messages that were not returned. Please, for the love of your children, please keep looking for a suitable provider. Pros: Somewhat decent location Cons: Care and Management of conditions more

Very, Very dissatisfied with Dr. Kent Kyger. We took our 5 year old daughter in for an evaluation on recommendation from our family doctor. On our first visit, while we were still filling our paperwork out, the doctor wanted to see our daughter. Fair enough. We were suppose to be involved in this evaluation, so we figured no harm since the paperwork would be done quick enough and we could go watch (as we are suppose to). No sooner did we get done, 20 minutes later, he came back with a diagnosis of ADHD and already had some pills written up for her to start taking immediately. He wouldn't even explain this to both of us, just the mother. Excuse me? This was 20 minutes of watching a little girl that you don't know anything about and it's time to stick her on pills. No, I don't think so. You don't diagnose ADHD for someone you've never met in under 20 minutes. What a quack! We are taking her to another ""specialist"" who will do a proper diagnosis and have the nerve to talk to us about it. Parents be warned, don't let this guy stick your kids on pills just because he's in a hurry. Parents be warned of any quack who labels your kids as ADHD, ADD, etc. in only one short visit. A real specialist works with the kids and parents to make sure they are not misdiagnosed with the condition. Pros: Average office staff Cons: Quack more

One of most compessionate MD. Most important to me was that he listened to my problems. more
