Dr. Daniel Gregory Amen, MD

Ssrg

All of my son’s treatment revolved around the SPECT scan. Then, the treatment from Dr. Amen was Dr Amen’s meds. Imagine that!! Quite a rip off.

After feeling ripped off by the “clinic”, I did some reading: Aside from being a money-grubbing shyster scam artist, “Doctor” Amen has been widely criticized as lacking in credibility throughout the medical and research communities. Daniel Amen, D.O. is NOT an M.D. He went to “Oral Roberts University” which was a Christian-based OSTEOPATHIC school which gives out D.O. degrees. That school was actually shut down around 1990. It was NOT an allopathic medical school which is permitted to issue M.D. degrees. For Dr. Amen to refer to himself as “Amen M.D.” is a sad joke.

Very stressful place to work. Lack of support from management team. Also staff makes promises to staff and never delivers. Just not a great place to work.

On this Veterans Day, this Disabled veteran spent the day in crisis and tears because of your employee, Marriah, in the DC (Reston VA) location. She dropped my son from services today because she was offended at my emotional outburst at the news of: 1) The sudden departure of my son's provider; 2) Their failure to successfully submit my son's INITIAL prescription to the pharmacy at Walter Reed for 6 WEEKS AND 3) Marriah said she would not RE-submit the initial pharmacy prescription because the provider quit; but that a medical review would be done for free and then we could pay another $200 to see the new provider to get the prescription. I was outraged that she was asking for more money when the initial treatment plan still had not even been started because the staff clinic kept messing up. My child did not receive the services promised or paid for. To make matters worse Marriah refused to say where we could follow Dr Carter to, and refused to reveal her supervisor. When my… child's father found me in the parking lot of the mental health clinic in crisis and crying uncontrollably, he called the office to find out what was happening and Marriah told him that she refused to fill my sons medication and charged me an additional $200 because she was angry at my outburst with her earlier on the phone. So your employee intentionally inflicted extreme emotional distress upon me to take revenge for her petty reasons. She is a liability and is emotionally violent. Moreover, there was NO itemized explanation of what their $4,500 fee covered. He got brain scans and 1 provider visit and maybe spoke with a nurse for follow up but that was it. Effective follow-up could not be done because they never filled the recommended prescription. So they would check in and there would not be much to say cuz he still hadn't been given the prescription. At the 6 week mark when we saw Dr Carter again, and we informed her that his prescription STILL wasn't put in, she was shocked but then only said to straighten it out with the front office. Tried to do that, and they pleasantly smiled and nodded, but didn't get the prescription in. They act nice on the surface, but underneath do not care at all. Then I receive a call a short time later that Dr Carter had suddenly quit. Do Not Come Here. They took our money, treated us like cash cows, and failed to provide treatment.

Terrible/Buggy interface (app and windows) plus poor/non-existent content which seems to be compiled from his programs

We spent Approx $4000 and the report stated my wife was a drug user which was incorrect. This upset the family member being treated (which was not my wife) and the company lost all credibility with the patient. Dr Amen will not call back. I do not recommend this company. It's very sad and unprofessional. This happened in Atlanta.
