My experience with Main St. Psychiatry and Dr. Joanne Parks has been absolutely stellar. Dr Parks…read moreand each member of her team is extraordinary. They are professional and at the same time construct a safe atmosphere for healing. At the cornerstone of Main St. Psychiatry's practice is Joanne Parks, M.D. In my opinion Dr. Parks is a highly skilled psychiatrist. She brings a myriad of skills including a very extensive medical background. She brings warmth and empathy to her patients Dr. Parks has helped me feel safe and able to grow. She validates patients'feelings . I believe Dr. Parks treats her patients, her staff and other parties with respect. She definitely goes the extra mile to help her patients She works extremely hard to meet her patients' needs. In this vein I emphasize that Dr. Parks is an excellent practitioner who exceeds expectations. I have always felt her care for me and my needs. Further she respects me. And she supports me. She carefully handles all matters, especially those that are sensitive Main St Psychiatry and Dr. Parks offer services beyond therapy and medication. At the center of these additional services are a treatment called Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) TMS is a series of procedures that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain It's called a noninvasive procedure because it's done without using surgery or cutting. I have had TMS at Main St. and found it to bevery helpful. Overall, I would definately highly recommend Dr. Parks and Main. St. Psychiatry.

These together are very hard to treat and I have been to many doctors who tried everything they knew but to no avail, in fact at times either one of the conditions was exacerbated. There have been a few times when I was in foreign countries and needed some immediate help and she has always been available, even one time when she was on vacation. I know that she is well regarded in the medical and is very well educated about new protocols . She has also significantly helped me accept my daughter's heroin related death. I always feel comfortable in the reception and office area. The receptionist has always been warm and professional. She has been DILIGENT about sending me phone reminders about appointments. I have recommended Dr. Bank to several people, all of whom have been very happy. I don't know what I would do without her.

A formal complaint has been filed with the state regulatory board. I was a patient of Dr. Mills for over 6 years. During my last appointment, he felt it was appropriate to share his personal feelings on DEI and expressed that he is pleased with the way that things are shifting away from DEI to being "merit-based" because DEI was discriminatory to white men and people who are not LGBT+. As a woman who identifies as part of the LGBT+ community, I became very uncomfortable, told him that this was an inappropriate subject, and stated that I would be seeking a new provider to continue my treatment. He reacted appalled, and couldn't understand why I would be offended. I moved on and tried to go back to the purpose of the call: to assess my treatment and medication (am I eating, am I sleeping, etc). At the end of the appointment, I declined to schedule a follow up and immediately found a new provider. Three weeks later, I received an email from Dr. Mills with the subject line "termination". See below for full text. He attempted to terminate a relationship that was already terminated, acting as if I owed him an apology for standing my ground and expressing my discomfort while calling me "reactive and illogical". This rhetoric from a certified psychiatrist is not only inappropriate, it is abusive and damaging to patients who are seeking help. He is unable to manage his own emotions when a patient expresses discomfort on a subject and should not be trusted with providing support to anyone who needs mental health support/treatment. Avoid at all costs. Email text is as follows: Good morning Amy After thinking about our last conversation on 9/24, I have decided it is in my best interest to terminate our working relationship. I did absolutely NOTHING wrong by explaining that some folks are pleased with the shift away from DEI to a merit-based system. That is not even an opinion...it is REALITY. Your stated intention to fire me for saying something that is entirely FACTUAL was out of line and disrespectful to me and our working relationship over the past 6 years and I am not able to work with someone who would be this reactive and illogical in their behavior towards me. You've had 3 weeks to consider your words and apparently you feel no apology or explanation is owed to me and I find that unacceptable. Your last Rx will be released on 11/9 and, after that, I wish you well in your search for a new provider. Regards, Dr.Mills
