We have been so very pleased with Dr. Gbadebo! He has always taken his time to listen carefully to both of my boys, and to my husband and myself about their needs and progress! Ms. Denise is also eager to help and is very approachable. The whole experience has been an eye opening and welcoming one! We're very comfortable with our choice.

This has got to be the worst Psychiatric practice ever! I went to three visits, was rushed through them like they couldn't get me in and out fast enough. The only beneficial thing they did was a genetics test to determine what medicine's might work more effectively with my genetic make-up (which I found fascinating that such a test existed and it took going to a Psychiatrist to have a cotton swap mouth test of what seems to me would be an important for test for anyone at any doctor's office to know)! The test results do not only show psychiatric drug interactions with your genetic make-up but a multitude of types of medications.

I called and stated that I did not feel the anti-depressant my psychiatrist prescribed me was working after several weeks of being on it and still crying throughout most of the day for absolutely any reason! They scheduled me an appointment for a morning time, which I had complained profusely to my psychiatrist that I was having major sleeping issues (staying up for days and crashing "hard" for similar time frames). It happened that the day my appointment fell, I had fallen asleep the night before after several days awake and did not hear my alarm (nor did the friend -- my backup -- wake me up as I was told they would). It was the only appointment I had missed, and was very apologetic and explained the situation to them. I asked if I had to reschedule another appointment to have my medication re-evaluated or if the doctor could just try something else on the "genetics" list without me coming in (since I had also just been there the week prior).

When I (as usual) didn't hear back from anyone, I called their office back to find out what my doctor stated and was told (and I quote) "Dr. xxxx has closed your file and doesn't plan to reschedule with you again)! Obviously, I was in complete shock with no idea why he was "closing my file" (which I had never even heard of a doctor doing since I have had the same family doctor and dentist for over 15 years each), so I left a message for the office manager. After a couple conversations with her, to which she could really tell me nothing specific about the doctor's decision, she even offered to see if another doctor in the practice would see me. She then contacted me back to let me know that their office just didn't think they could help me; this after only 3 - 4 total visits not totaling even a few hours of overall time!

I believe it was because I was going to have a lapse in insurance coverage, and planned to file for disability because of the severity of my condition and difficulty finding the right medications! I thought this was the office for psychological help; apparently NOT!!!! I am honestly not sure what they are qualified to do if they just drop patients that are clearly in desperate need of help and are reaching out (hard) trying to get that help!!!!

I was referred to go to a psychiatrist because of the severity of the problems I was experiencing; after an emergency psych evaluation that my physician ordered at the emergency room where they almost locked me down for 36-72 hours and my employer required a psychiatrist to deem me "fit for duty" due to the issues that were spilling over into my work as well.

There is only one other psychiatry group in this entire county; having dealt with them before in an unrelated instance, I had no desire to go to them for this drastic of help. I do not have the capability to drive an hour to Savannah just to find a "competent" Psychiatrist, so I am stuck "trying" to go to the one I really didn't want to see in the first place! What kind of doctor's office; especially one that is supposed to help with mental illness and psychological disorders just turns away a patient with no explanation that not only clearly needs help but is almost begging for them to help her!!!! THIS PRACTICE RIGHT HERE WILL DO IT -- WATCH OUT!!!

We have had a terrible experience with the office staff. We have had great difficulty reaching a real person on the phone, and our phone messages have not been received. Therefore, we drove 45 minutes for an appointment that we did not know was cancelled because they didn't get our message. When they rescheduled the appointment it under another child's name, but I didn't notice until I got home. They assured me that it was a mistake, and that the appointment was for our child and not the child on the paper they gave us. Definitely a HIPPA violation. When my husband went for the rescheduled appointment the other patients that we aren't suppose to know about were there for the same appointment as us. They double booked it! He had to wait for almost an hour to see the doctor. Unbelievable!

What a waste! I wish I hadn't bothered to spend the time and money on this appointment. Every time I had a concern, or if I called to ask a question, the staff made me feel like I shouldn't have called. They were barely helpful at all. Dr. Gbadebo's assessment was way off base and informed by little more than grossly wrong assumptions. He was way too quick to recommend medication. I left feeling okay, but in the follow up I realized the poor judgement. There is no one I would recommend go to this doctor.
