Staff and Phone Experience
The majority of reviewers had a negative experience with the staff, particularly the person answering the phone. They were described as rude, unhelpful, condescending, and unprofessional. Many reviewers found it ironic that a mental health practice would have staff that made it difficult to even make an appointment.
Positive Experiences with Doctors
However, many reviewers had positive experiences with the doctors at the practice. Dr. Karacostas, Dr. Tedford, Dr. McReynolds, Dr. Deckter, Dr. Joel Ellison, and Jack Niehaus were all mentioned as being helpful, professional, and caring.
Contrasting Opinions
It's interesting to note that while some reviewers had negative experiences with the staff, they had positive experiences with the doctors. This highlights the importance of separating the staff from the medical professionals in terms of reviews.
