I was a patient for 3 years and had been recieving medications for my disorders. I repeatedly told the prescribing doctor that I was being over medicated and that I was suicidal. He then wincrease my medication as if I didnt already have enough. No referrals were made or any info given in the event I follow through with my suicidal thoughts.. he just ssits there like he isnt paying attention. My son and I were recieving services until I transferred out to another physician.

Dr. G has been the best doctor ive ever had. For years i struggled with my mental health and suffered so much, but after just a few times seeing Dr. G he has given me my life back. I was able to finish things i never could and got my quality of life back. I highly HIGHLY recommend this doctor to anyone who is struggling mentally or just needs to figure out whats going on with themselves. Dr. G saved my life and he can save yours.

It was my first time seeing a psychiatrist and I was really nervous. However, Dr. G made me feel welcome and is now helping me. His office staff was very polite and the entire place had a very pleasant aura.
