I didn't trust her response, and I'm so glad I didn't. When I started the medicine after my trip, the medicine sedated me so much I couldn't function. in my next appointment she said, "oh yeah, how was your work trip?" I said "fine." She asked, "Did your husband go with you?" I said, "No, it was a work trip." That was the extent of the conversation, as we had wrapped the appointment and decided on a new medication, and because of these 10 seconds of small talk, I was charged for therapy. I inquired with the billing office, noting I did not sign up for therapy and have a separate provider for that purpose, and I was told they are "required" to charge for services if anything personal is discussed. This is a common practice known as fraudulent upcoding. I have had better "therapy" from both my derm and my obgyn. Avoid this place. Oh, and when I was texting for my initial intake, they accidentally texted me another patient's name...

I've had very little experience with doctors and 0 experience with Psychiatric doctors in the past…read more My wife had been suggesting I talk with someone for a few years because of irregular changes in moods and several serious bouts of depression. I was reluctant to admit a problem and I really just figured there was not much point as I have always been this way and don't know if I'll change. After another bad month my wife caught me in a weak moment and I agreed to do it. One of my biggest hang ups on getting help was I really didn't see myself being able to talk with someone about all the issues. I picked Dr. Feintuch almost randomly off of the Psychology Today list of recommended psychiatrists in Nashville. My criteria for a doctor are my own but I basically rolled the dice and figured if it was a bad experience I could venture elsewhere. I've only been 4 or 5 times now. From the start I was very anxious and somewhat embarrassed of going. The nervousness about going has subsided the receptionist lets you in and doesn't try to make any awkward conversation and lets you wait in peace. Dr. Feintuch has a very calm and attentive affect that does not feel like the stereotypical "shrink" depicted in movies. Her office feels like a study right out of your own home and is located in a clean and comfortable American Foursquare right off of Music Row. I felt very nervous about going into this situation and was not sure how it would go. Mostly she ask questions here and there and lets you talk about what's going on in your head. She ask plenty of good questions and never comes across as critical or snooty, even when I fall into a blabbering tirade and get off topic. She did offer a few potential diagnoses that she thought might be related to my issues but not in a threatening or absolute way that made me feel labeled with a big problem. She offered potential medicines and various snippets of advice to these issues. She also recommended a book that I listened to and identified with immediately. The main reason I felt compelled to write this review is I was just last week in one of the darkest depressions I have experienced and her very simple advice(in that moment it seemed trivial)as well as my wife's support is helping to get me out bed each day and move on. I intend to continue to see Dr Feintuch on a regular basis. If you or someone you know needs a doctor to talk to, in the mental health arena, I recommend Dr Feintuch.

One of my loved ones was taken here. Upon arrival, my loved one asked if it was necessary to be…read moreinpatient. The guy pretty much acted like it was a summer camp, where you make friends, and learn to be happy. From an adolescents perspective, sounds great. But, it was far from the truth. They also said that my loved one could call whenever they wanted and family could visit multiple times throughout the week. If only we knew they were all lies. My loved one was taken there in a hospital gown, never given clothes despite being there for three days. I went on the second day to get them out when I realized we were being lied to. No calls. No visits. As I'm waiting by the locked door, I'm seeing kid after kid being brought in by the police in handcuffs! That's who my loved one was locked in a ward with! They would not release them. They also said they would call multiple times a day to keep me updated. I received zero calls. I did NOT consent to any medication being given. Upon one of my multiple calls, I'm told an extensive list of all the drugs they are pumping my loved one with. Some anti-psychotics. My loved ones diagnosis? Major depressive disorder with anxiety features. I'm now livid! I show up the next day and get my loved one out. Not even against AMA because the psychiatrist did not believe that they needed hospitalization to begin with! Despite that, I'm threatened that either I pay the entire bill in full. Despite having TennCare or my loved one would have to stay. I laughed. And, left WITH my loved one. I'm protecting my loved ones privacy which is something they would know zero about. After getting home, I was told that no medication had ever been given despite the list of medications they told me they gave. Who got the medications? Maybe the juvenile offenders that were locked up there. My loved one has an issue with food, they wear threatened if they didn't eat. My loved one now has PTSD and a full blown panic disorder FROM being in this place. They exacerbated the problems that were there until they manifested into new, worsening problems. Take your loved one anywhere but here.

We are both grieving and she has given us ideas that even though he is her patient, it can help us as a family. We have only seen her twice now and I wish she was also a therapist because we would see her for that too! I have said a lot but I just wanted anyone to know if you are thinking about making this your choice for psychiatry, I think it's a great one. I don't know the other providers but hands down try Joy!

I went here for a spell. I'm going to be completely honest and state that, because my background is…read morein social services, there's a certain level of frustration I have for health and wellness organizations that treat people like Novo treated me. This mostly took place during and after the pandemic. I was only in the office once, and afterwards everything was handled via phone and Zoom. Initially, this was no big deal and rather convenient given the world at large, but it soon became a big inconvenience, and even somewhat dangerous because at different times I suffered withdrawal symptoms due to Novo's NXIVM-level contact rules. If I were a second too late grabbing my phone, then I could expect to have my calls, texts, and voicemails ignored all the way up to when my medication ran out. Once they did answer, I could expect a level of care that was accusatory, combative, and paternalistic. I had serious questions about a diagnosis that has followed me and directed my medication path for two decades, but I was deemed combative and paranoid, yet, sitting here in 2025, it turns out my concerns were correct. So, I guess I should really thank Novo for being so bad at providing basic levels of care, kindness, and trust that it pushed me to find a psychiatrist who actually listens to me.

This sent my child way back to the point of barely interacting with their own family. My child's confidence is not good to begin with. Now we have a hard time getting my child out of the house.
