Dr. Rodney Elgar Vivian, MD

Left me worst off than before seeing him. Horrible individual.

Thank god I found Dr. Vivian and Dr. Wing. Medications and therapy have prevented me from becoming a self -medicated alcoholic. It is very comforting to have them both in my corner.

Misdiagnosed me and continued to barrage me with insults

I am just like most. Read all the reviews you can find and take them with a grain of salt and try to make a decision as an informed patience/consumer. If you don't understand "the squeaky wheel" scenario remember, those that are treated poorly tend to vent the most. Those that find help in the service tend to stay quite. To be exact, I've never seen Dr Vivian. Would not know him from Adam if we passed each other on street today. But in my search for a new provider I have passed through his office and the system he has in place to be seen. Here's the deal. I could go on for some time about my brush with his staff. Here's the long and short of it. I found his office process stiff and cold. Being screened prior to being seen is not new. I'm sure this is done in many settings. Office staff was less than cheerful so I see why this has been remarked on. But here's the rub. If your being seen by others for other conditions in your life and your honest with your interview you may… well be denied services or even being evaluated further. If your a new Ohio Medical Marijuana patient and have the need for psychiatry don't bother wasting your time here. This is viewed as, and I quote, "street drugs" and if your truthful in your intake you will be told that Dr. Vivian does't see people who do street drugs. So, that being said, I am still looking. I would suggest you do the same. Don't start with a dead end and being treated like a social pariah for the help you seek. I am sure there are much better choices in the area. Find a group who is more in tune with today's world not holding on to the past.

I really enjoy going to the appointments

In all the times I have visited him I have waited at least 45 minutes and spent less than 20 actually talking to him. He overbooks his patients and makes increasingly rude remarks about them directly to their face during the visit. I am switching to a new doctor because I am beginning to question his original diagnosis. I pray for all the people he has hurt. In a sentience, Dr. Vivian is an arrogant, inconsiderate, and lazy doctor and his office staff has a nearly constant sarcastic attitude towards all patients.

I have recommended him to several friends and family. Everyone has been pleased with his results. He listens to my concerns and answers it honest and sincere. He doesn't sugar coat it. But tells accurate and informational answers. He is the best!!!!

Very very bad, I think he works from a flow chart. He talked that he has 35 yrs in his profession but he is anything but a professional. Thirtyfive yrs at the same job does not make you good at your job.

Makes false claims. Cold, unfriendly, and arrogant. Worst Psychiatrist I've been to. Stay away from this weirdo.
