Called to make an appt and the number was no longer in service, apparently neither is he. From what I understand he no longer practices in the state of Alabama. It would have been nice to inform your patients!! I find this very unprofessional and disturbing leaving psychiatric patients struggling to find a new doctor with no notice !!

He is always very concerned. Listens well. Does some psychotherapy as well. Pays attention sincerely to concerns of the patient. Never had any problem with office staff, especially office manager. They are very efficient in their jobs. Kind, friendly and caring. I think what people don't understand is that they run a medical office and there are rules and procedures. I love all of them. D.R.

He used to be good, but has gone downhill. Office staff is ineffective and he is often late. If you really need help, try looking somewhere else.

This "physician" took no interest in some dangerous side effects of a medication he prescribed and was dismissive of my concerns. It was obvious that he was totally uncaring.

The receptionist hung up on me because I asked for an appt and evidently they do not take new patients now. But instead of hearing me out, she hung up on me! The doctor may be good, but he is only as good as his support staff. Very rude!

Although very quiet he takes time to listen to what is happening in your life and about any complications you may be experiencing with medication.
