Finding a good psychiatrist or psychopharmacologist is tough and they are invaluable when you do…read morefind one. Hunting and pecking my way through DFW was a pain. My headache neurologist is debatable the best in the US, and does not suffer fools, so I had to find psychopharmacologist that I could pair with her. First, her NP actually knew who Dr Health which was a huge boon, because she had worked with this doctor before. This was a huge time saver and cut my search down tremendously. My meds had been off, I had lived in NYC for 7 years and had the same psychiatrist...but I made the mistake thinking that a really smart GP could coordinate my meds. This is not an error I will EVER make, again. I needed I good psychopharmacologist to rebalance everything. I suffered a TBI when I was nearly killed in a hate crime causing quite a few medical problems and I needed a number of specialists after the assault. The lynchpin to making everything work was a fantastic psychiatrist who worked as a psychopharmacologist. I've been fine for four years since I went under her care. Before that I was a hot mess, because not all doctors are equal with an RX pad and being a good psychiatrist requires a ton of working knowledge of gobs of medications and how they interact with different meds and people (I'm resistant to many meds and don't metabolize most meds the way most patients do she was the first to catch this and give me a genetic test). If she hadn't, I'd still be a Ginny pig. I've paid for the smartest doctors I could find to work in tangent with each other. Dr Heath was my missing link back to a normal life. Prior to my head injury I was a top PhD student and national award winning playwright (specializing in Aristotelean Structuralism). After the assault I was in horrific pain and unable to control my anger and slightly mentally challenged. This was caused by brain damage, and though my brain did rewire itself, it needed help. I had no quality of life. Comparatively, I have a fantastic one now. I just finished a 2nd Master's and a killer play...this is what a you get when you invest in the best doctors. It's not instant. It took her 4 months; however, others couldn't do it at all. I want Dr. House, only smarter and non-fictional. She's not cold, she's professional. So, do you want a doctor that can fix you and is professional...go here. I think the answer to the question is, "Am I better, and she fix what was wrong when no one else could?" "Yes." I sent a friend here a couple of years ago who had become non-functional in society after she was assaulted at work. She had similar results. She and her family are thrilled with the results, or so she told me. So, I'm not the only one happy to have my life back. So, I would highly recommend this doctor. You spend your money where you like, but I'm results oriented.

Turned out I had thyroid issues & needed medication, very low Vitamin D, very low B12, etc. after she knew what all was going on with me. She changed my medication & also called me with lab results so i could go to Primary Dr to get other issues taken care of for those medications. Best Doctor I've ever had. She listened & she helped me tremendously. She is the best. Her office is small & her staff is top notch. I highly recommend.

I have been meaning to write my review of Dr. Ghelber for quite some time…read more I stared seeing her after moving to Fort Worth from Austin. I was looking for a psychiatrist for medication management. I had PTSD from a workplace shooting that took place in 2012, which I was taking Xanax to treat, and I have ADHD, which I had been taking Adderall to treat for the last 12 years. I was simply looking for a psychiatrist for medication management and had no interest or really hope to get off of my medications because I didn't think it was even possible. Firstly, Dr. Ghelber is so extremely kind and welcoming. I immediately felt at ease talking with her. She showed a genuine concern for my well being and was the first psychiatrist ever who didn't just write me a script and send me on my way. She took the time to develop a relationship with me and encouraged me to pursue things other than medication to help with my symptoms. When I was ready, she worked with me to develop a plan to wean me off of my medications. I am happy to say that because of her I was able to stop taking the Xanax and Adderall and have found other ways to manage my ADHD symptoms. I have also not had an PTSD symptoms. I thought I would be psychologically dependent on these medications forever, but she gave me the courage and confidence in myself to get off the meds. Anyone who has been dependent on those kind of drugs to function knows how scary it can be to think of what could happen if you stopped them. Dr. Ghelber took away that fear and I am so grateful that she helped me to start a new chapter in my life.

Some teachers are still not great people, they still lie, they're still human. Refusal to own your mistakes is the issue here. Penny and Dixie never resolved this issue for me. I wasted many hours of my working time chasing this issue down and I ended up with maybe half of what I was owed. I filed 26 claims and had further issues with my insurance who continued to not understand why the claims were not filed by the provider. Every other provider I've ever had figures out insurance. Penny's practice is not unique in these circumstances whatsoever. I've had all sorts of providers and insurances for over 20 years and never once had such a miserable experience. I hope next time you edit your response, you consider an apology.
