Dr. Kevin Ray Ferguson, MD

I personally never have been a patient of “Dr.” Ferguson. Unfortunately my boyfriend has been a patient of “Dr.” Ferguson for 7 years now. In those last two, years I have watched my boyfriend struggle every single day with benzodiazepine addiction. Before posting my review, I read tons of similar reviews dating all the way back to 2001!!! This monster of a “doctor” has been ASSISTING in ruining countless amounts of adolescent lives. I say “ASSISTING” because I know that Ferguson is not completely at fault, but he has been handing out addictive benzodiazepines to teenagers to treat their anxiety. As a teenager, my boyfriend took his benzos because he trusted a “medical professional”. As expected after some time, he built up a tolerance to these pills which led to him taking more than prescribed. which then led to him running out of pills before the next refill. Which led to withdrawals. At this point my boyfriend realized he was completely dependent on the high of these pills due to… taking them every. Single. Day. For 7 years. He tried to beat this horrible disease of addiction on his own but eventually realized that he can not do it on his own & needs professional help. He is now in an inpatient facility fighting for his life and happiness back. Fighting to be able to live without this poison because he can’t live with or without it. If he doesn’t it take it he has terrible withdrawals that have the possibility of causing him to have a stroke. If he takes the pills they completely zone him out and make him want to do absolutely nothing. He struggles to hold job with this medication and doctor completely poisoning his brain. On top of the benzos, Ferguson prescribed him adderall. What medical professional would mix benzos & stimulants?!? What medical professional has anyone prescribed to XANAX, KLONOPIN, AMBIEN, AND ADDERALL AT THE SAME TIME?!? I want this man’s medical license ripped from his pill pushing fingers. If you’re reading this review and you pray, please whisper a prayer that my loved one has a full recovery.

He helped me more the anyone and I hope to see him again.

He took 4 phone calls during the few minutes he saw me. Kept writing prescriptions and tried to change my meds and add another one without really talking to me. I tried to change my appointment to one of the other Drs but the practice would not let me. They were rude and uncaring. Terrible!!!

I agree regarding the staff. They act like they are doing you a favor and have a bad attitude on top of that. (I quit seeing a primary doctor that I liked because his nurse was incompetent ) Sylvia holds that place together - extremely caring and helpful. I had crisis a few years ago and every psychiatrist's office told me ther was a 2 week wait for an appointment. This made my anxiety unbearable. A counselor told me to call Sylvia whom I already knew from years past. She was able to get me in to see Dr Ferguson and he has been treating me for about 5 years. Very satisfied other than the rude staff.

I have been getting psychiatric care for 33 years. Dr. Ferguson for 20 of the 33. Also, have worked in the field of Mental Healthcare during these years. I know many psychiatrist professionally. I have been a patient of a few. I give Dr Ferguson 5 stars overall. He is excellent at medication management and stays current on treatments and new medications. He can and will if asked, tell you how different meds and treatments work. Example: a light box for seasonal affective disorder helps the body make certain chemicals that the brain needs. He will also tell you that treating mental disorders is not an exact science. What works for one person is not the same for every person. I like that honesty in my Dr. People should keep in mind that Drs' work with what you tell them, they can't follow you 24/7. Prepare for your appt, make a list of problems and issues, as with all drs' time is limited. What makes a great Dr is a great patient. I must say that Sylvia is the Jewel at… his practice and helps keep him a 5 star Dr.

I have been seeing Dr. Ferguson for 15 years. Since i was a child he has put me on every possible drug you can think of. There have been times where he has had me prescribed to as many a eight different drugs at once. Which seems excessive considering my diagnosis is bi-polar. He has never order up any blood test which is standard protocol when you take drugs like lithium. I'm addicted now to anti-anxiety meds for the simple fact that i have them had pushed down my throat for 15 years. His staff is extremely rude and always have been. The only kind person in his office is Sylvia. Dr. Ferguson himself isn't rude but, he just doesn't have time, you go in his office for 10 mins and that's it. I still continue to go to this doctor for the simple facts about insurance and that I'm completely addicted to the large doses of anti-anxiety meds i have received for years. I have not been able to lead a normal life and i feel allot of that comes from taking the meds since i was a 15 year old child… not having a fully formed adult brain. I feel the drugs have put a huge damper on my life and how i'm able to deal with and process almost any emotion. Scaring!

I think Dr. Ferguson is the most caring and concerned Dr. that I have ever seen. Of all the Drs. I see in any specialty, he is the best. I too agree with everyone else's reviews about his staff. They are rude and have no time for you. For this to be a mental health facility, you can't force a smile out of anyone at that office except Sylvia (who I greatly appreciate), and Dr. Ferguson. However, Dr. Ferguson has taken care of me, quickly diagnosed me and got me on the meds I needed. I will deal with the rest just to see him.

I suffer bipolar depression. I have been seeing Dr. Ferguson for over 20 years. I think he and his office manager Sylvia Champion are the greatest. Sylvia has gotten in touch with Dr. Ferguson even when he was out of town and I received a call from him. I well agree as mentioned in above reviews how bad his staff is. When problems arise with his staff I bring it to his attention and it is taken care of immediately. His staff is terrible. I have well been taken care of thru the years between Dr. Ferguson and Sylvia Champion.

Worst office staff I have ever tried to deal with. I was dismissed, after being a patient for over 10 years, because the staff was leaving appointment times on my phone during work hours for the same day and time that I was working and then saying I missed appointments. Horrible experience.

Absolute worst staff on the planet. Unavailable and rude.
