Dr. Dean B Priest JR., MD

I have been seeing Dr. Priest for three years. For the most part, he has been a good doctor to me and he has listened well. I'm not sure what happened with Dr. Priest, but when I went to see him recently, he seemed to want to dismiss my chronic back and nerve pain and instead kept asking me to go on Risperdal, which is an antipsychotic drug. When I refused, he became belligerent and said, "You are trying to control me. What has happened to you?" I told him that I was not trying to control him but I was in chronic pain and I didn't think my condition was due to being psychotic. He said if things kept going the way they were going for me, I would soon be put on ECT. That is ridiculous and he cannot seem to differentiate between chronic pain and someone being depressed. He kept referring to notes and made very little eye contact with me. I was so upset I have changed to a different doctor.

Doctor and his unprofessional staff is very dishonest, over-charges and just seems to want to make big money fast.

Dr. Priest took the time to listen to me and also asked questions to get a good understanding of my issues. He's competent and was very helpful. I'd definitely recommend him to anyone needing his services.

Office staff: Inefficient and rude, the office set up is a hipaa violation waiting to happen. Hard to schedule, will not help resolve appointment scheduling issues. Mishandles paperwork. Doctor: Unprofessional protocols and procedures, Self absorbed, doesn't communicate even in crisis situations.

Awful experience

The most horrific, unprofessional experience I have ever had. Dr. Priest doesn't actually care about his clients. There is no real connection between him and his clients. He doesn't spend the necessary time needed to get to know them before prescribing medicine. His office staff is unprofessional and belittling. Time in between appointments is too long. He never follows up with patients. Just writes scripts and disappears. He's impossible to get ahold of. Doesn't respond to emails.

This supposed Dr put my child on heavy psych drugs that he did not need,this supposed Dr screamed and yelled at me over the phone like a mad man.this supposed dr has told my child"I dont like your mother'.This supposed dr informed social worker that our child would be released from inpatient care in about a week and then changed his mind saying he needs more care and he would be keeping our child inpatient for awwhile longer.This supposed dr and his staff have told our child "you will be getting out in about a week"only to dash his hopes and send him into a melt down more than twice.This supposed dr is a very unprofessional person who ignore the diagnosis of dr's who know my child and have worked with my child for many years.He is so pompous and arrogant he believes he is right above all other dr's.He is a sham and a shame.
