Thanks…read moreDoc, my life insurance was cancelled and even though I have been to a number of doctors, I have not had one who would second that diagnosis. I had monthly appointments for a long time. He would be writing the prescription as I walked in the door. Put me on anxiety meds with no questions asked or an attempt to warn of possible addiction. Rarely more than a few minutes in his office and it was time to write the check. I felt like I was meeting a dealer. It's all about the money.

She is very scientific about her approach to medicine, very careful and calculating about what to try next - very much akin to a scientist. She cares about her patients and will call and check on you after a medication change to see if your symptoms have lessened. I could not recommend her enough.

I came here in April of 2023 seeking help after the loss of my father and my twin brother within…read morethe span of 2-3 months in 2019. I had attempted to self medicate using alcohol which wasn't really helping. I was having trouble with my emotions and in general was trying to work through a lot of grief. To be honest I don't feel like I received any help or guidance from the therapist/counselor I was assigned other than I should seek the services of an alcohol treatment program which was very expensive. Ultimately for me anyway finding folks who would listen to me, and help me work through what I was going through made a huge difference in my life. I would have thought that would be the kind of help you would get from a practice such as this, unfortunately that wasn't my experience. Your experience or mileage in this case may vary or be different from mine, and I whole heartedly hope that to be the case. I haven't detected an ounce of compassion, care, or empathy from anyone I've dealt with here so its not a place I could recommend you go if your looking for help as I was.

I've struggled with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember, and Leska with Shelby…read morePsychological Services is the first counselor I've seen that actually helped me. More than that, I'd say she saved me on a couple of occasions. The entire staff here is fantastic. Beth, the receptionist, always greets me by name and with a smile, and she's incredibly professional and efficient. Dr Spence is a child psychologist who specializes in neuropsychology and she has given me tremendous insight about my child. My counselor leska has also seen my oldest daughter and my husband, and they both think she's wonderful as well. If you need long term help, short term help, and want a staff that's kind, professional, personable, and incredible, please visit this office. I cannot say enough good things about these amazing people!

This place is BY FAR the WORST medical facility (and business in general) that I have ever had the…read moredispleasure of dealing with. I had to work with them for 3 months to get a credit for a missed appointment that the office told my daughter we wouldn't be charged for but we were. Then my daughter had an appointment. I called patient support and billing 2-3 times in advance to point out that she had a credit and to make sure that her co-pay would be taken out of this credit. I was assured over and over that it would be. Then I was billed $48 for the appointment yesterday. I called billing. They were rude and told me they have no record of a credit. Additionally, when viewing invoices in their portal, it shows that I've been paying $5 for her co-pays when in reality I've been paying $30. Patient support always tells me that the Pelham office will call me back but they never do. And I can't call the office because they removed their phone system. Yes - I wrote that. They actually removed their phone system so that patients can't call them. You can only call a call center. God, please let this whole Ally Psych corp that sprawls across 9 states get sued and close down. It is corrupt, incompetent and appalling.

As a prior patient of other pain clinics in Birmingham, I can say that unlike the other pill mills,…read moreThe Doleys Clinic staff has been wonderful, helpful, and sincere about finding out why I am in pain and helping me managing it. They offer both homeopathic medicines as well the standard medications. Dr. Jimmeh (who sadly left during COVID) was the most knowledgeable and helpful, she was one of the best pain/neurologist doctors I've seen ever. The staff is always helpful, and easy to work with, Especially when BC/BS messes with medication coverage. Sadly after Dr. Jimmeh left I was put with another doctor, him and I didn't see eye to eye and my confidence in the Doleys clinic lagged. I may have left but I would still very much recommend them as one of the few good pain clinics in the Birmingham area. Just remember, although you are a patient, you are also a customer, so don't be afraid to be assertive and ask questions of your doctors. You will get the best care when you do.

Dr J. Lucus is an amazing mental health doctor... Coming from someone who has been a 20+ year…read moremental health client... I definitely should know by this point. Dr. Joseph Lucus not only listens but he 100% hears you out... He is extremely attentive, straightforward, and 100,000% professional. Having seen several throughout my lifetime... There was always at least one con to go along with seeing whatever doctor it was at the time I was saying... However Dr. Lucus hits and checkmarks all of the boxes when it comes to everything I'm looking for in a doctor! he is so nonjudgmental and I can't say that enough because not once did I ever look up during my first session with him and saw him looking at me crazy like every other psychologist or psychiatrist has looked at me before at least... Yes this place is great I don't see how there's only 2.8 of a rating there because I give 5's all day long.... Grayson and associates is very appropriate and professional and believe it or not I've never had longer than a five minute wait... And really one of the important things to me? This is not one of those doctors who is just going to possibly see some thing he doesn't agree with about you and just never speak to you again... This doctor is going do you have the guts to sit down with you and speak to you about any topic that concerns him having to do with your Health!! how could you ask for more than that from any doctor...? I recommend this doctor to anyone who is suffering from any type of mental health illnesses and thank God, to this day we're living in, it is now finally being sought as a real problem because I know that I was having some pretty big debilitating feelings in my life... before meeting Dr. Lucus. I pray thankful to my God ea/ & everytime I go for an appt.
