Dr. Ruder has been my mental health provider for the past 4+ years. He primarily prescribes…read moremedications, rather than providing psychotherapy. He's more personable than most psychiatrists, though; he listens well and is not condescending or distant. If you function better with medications due to chronic depression or other issues and you'd prefer to be treated by a specialist rather than your primary physician, I recommend him.

⁩ This is in regards to Dr. Alan J Lynch…read more This post is on behalf of someone else. **Report him to the Medical Board of Examiners for neglect and patient abuse!** He doesn't care about patients and is only in business for money and not patient health. He spent no time discussing patients healthcare or future mental health plans and instead discussed his colleagues personal life and details instead of patients because "the physician and he went to school together". What that has to do with the patient's Healthcare plan is unknown and unprofessional. Proceeded to called patient a liar after spending less than 2min in the room, highly unprofessional and inappropriate. Walked out and did not return. Horrible bedside manor! Did not discuss his medical assessment or prognosis. Uncaring, uninterested and not compassionate.. Not sure why he's not working elsewhere. Leads me to believe he is fraudulently billing and coding which is HIGHLY ILLEGAL! Puts patients on "involuntary holds" without evidence or proof of IMMEDIATE harm to oneself or others. Which leads me to believe he is fraudulently billing and coding. Which again, is HIGHLY ILLEGAL!! Did not allow for self discharge which is against hospital policy. There should be a medical review performed on him. Employees and staff ALL say he is a... D BEWARE!!! STAY AWAY! There are similar reviews of him online. He addressed a similar situation in 2018 involving someone being kept from going to a funeral with a direct reply, "I'm sorry to hear about your loss and apologize for your experience. We will continue seeking ways to become better in our treatment and care. Your feedback is appreciated." Doesn't appear anything has changed since, as far as his medical proficiency is concerned. He obviously has not pursued any continuing education that might be effective or beneficial for mental health treatment in a hospital setting

Dr. Sharpe did not recognize when I went into tolerance while taking a benzodiazepine prescribed by…read morehim. He increased the dosage and tried other medications. When this didn't work, it was only at my request to be taken off the benzodiazepine. I was informed by him a rapid taper method that he developed was the safest way to come off the medication. He conducted a four day rapid taper that completely paralyzed me. After researching it was realized this was the worse, most inhumane way to take someone off a benzodiazepine. The failure to appropriately taper me off the medication has cost me over a year off my life, and put me through pure hell. If you are taking a benzodiazepine and looking for help please do not visit Dr. Sharpe. His lack of education or refusal to believe the consequences of being rapidly tapered can be extremely devastating.

When our college student encountered a mental health crisis, we found Dr. Christopher Van. Schenck…read morewho was immediate in response, and went above and beyond to get us back on track. He knew the necessary next steps and pointed us in that direction. Proactively, he reached out to her school and prepared letters in support and advocacy.

While we are still on the journey, we feel completely confident that he is the solution to our mental health needs and will provide the professional accompaniment to get us through this storm. The level of care we received at the hands of Dr. Van Schenck is uncommon and we are thankful and confident that our daughter is on the rode to recovery. I couldn't recommend him higher.

I have been a patient of Dr. Barton's for almost 14 years. I have had to work with two other…read morepsychiatrists at times c/o moves away from Nashville, and neither of them provided anything close to comparable care. Dr. Barton provides a 50 minute session in order to have in-depth discussions of what's been going on, which helps him give more medically sound guidance, as opposed to the psychiatrists who talk to you for 15 minutes, give you a script, then send you out the door. Dr. Barton listens, is open-minded, and considers options aside from simply doling out pills. Although he doesn't accept insurance, I still highly recommend working with him.

Dr. Barton failed me at all levels of being a care provider. Seeing him was like seeing one's own…read moreabusive step-parent as a Psychiatrist. It's not just his odd behavior in session including randomly lashing out at his own paying patient when his waiting room is otherwise completely empty. It's much more than that. It's asking political opinions, bashing 12 step programs (arbitrarily, not providing any reason), asking for computer help and stock trading advice (this actually happened. My assumption was he couldn't afford a receptionist at the time since he handled all his appointments through his cell phone and didn't know how to use the patient software. also asking me to look at the software was Barton just casually violating all of those patients HIPPA rights but I digress), and all the while never asking "how are you feeling", "how is x you mentioned last session going", "how is y going","How's the medication working out". Literally nothing, it was so strange, like he actually resented being a psychiatrist. One time he started crying in session about his father. I felt bad for him, but you can't take people's money and then abuse them in session and cry about yourself, you're a doctor. Shame on you, Daniel. Shame on you for violating my trust in a physician when I was going through great turmoil in my life and shame on you for making my diagnoses worse than before I had come to you with your twisted brand of psychiatry. Also, as a long time IT professional with a ton of web and social exp, I gotta say it's really suspicious when a relatively unknown, medium size town physician gets large amounts of LONG reviews that are positive. But they can't be fake reviews or the work product of a rep management company because that would be illegal and the AMA would have a huge problem with it. just an observation.

I am giving 3 stars for my rating because the experience of being in the hospital was difficult for me to endure since I am a spoiled brat, but the staff there deserves 10. Nurses such as Roxy, Alli, and Tate along with superbly helpful BHAs like Selah and Eugene literally served me well and got me through a personally horrific time. The best parts were the various was therapeutic sessions with the gentle and caring specialists who seemed very dedicated to patient care. My favorite was the music (loved the guitar playing and singing by Grant), but the educational classes were extremely timely.

I had an episode and was refused help or my rescue medication (which they put in the order wrong and made the decisions themselves I didn't need it) and was treated like a problem left alone on the bathroom floor (as a wheelchair user btw). I ended up sweating through my shirt, dry heaving for hours bc I hadn't eaten or drank that day due to pain which they knew , and I ended up passing out which the nurse knew and said she'd be back with an ANTI PSYCHOTIC. 20 minutes goes by, I pushed the emergency help button twice with no response, ended up passing out and slamming my head into the ground, had 2 seizures before anyone came to check, nurse finally came in and told me to get up and go to bed before I fell into a 3rd seizure where they sternum rubbed me so hard they broke my sternum which Vanderbilt has record of both them causing a TBI and breaking my sternum. They didn't get me medical attention and instead just threw me into bed saying I didn't hit my head and I was fine even tho I was going IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS FOR 30 minutes!!!!They tried to 1. Gaslight me into thinking nothing happened and lied about how severe it was in those 2 hours 2. Wrote on my AMA discharge that all the symptoms were psychosomatic and I was basically attention seeking and crazy then still said I was stable to go home huh funny. ANYWAYS I was diagnosed with a paralyzed bowel(neurogenic) and severe dysautonomia that is disrupting my stomachs ability to work so I don't think that's psychosomatic. Thanks for the PTSD and the traumatic brain injury totally helped my mental health. Never. Again.

I owe Dr, Tang and his staff my sanity!! I am bipolar (a…read morelabel I resisted for a long time). I accepted my depression but didn't want to recognize the mania aspect. His therapist was patient to point out recurring episodes that are clearly manic. I reluctantly agreed but was okay with my 'mania' because I am extremely productive during these times. (In essence I wanted to treat my depression but keep my mania) About 5 months into TMS, therapy, and medications, I (like so many patients) felt very good and discontinued treatment. Gradually (over 6 months), coupled with major traumatic events, my bipolar disorder became uncontrollable. Insomnia and panic attacks were taking over my life. I had never had a history of insomnia and panic attacks. These led to severe depression (and I no longer had my desired mania to help motivate me). In desperation (and much to my shame and embarrassment), I reached out to Dr. Tang and asked for help. His staff was gentle, understanding, and nonjudgmental about my self discontinued treatment. I was quickly seen (via Face Time...I love this because I don't drive and truly had no energy for an office visit) by a nurse and then Dr. Tang. I was honest with everything this go around. Within one week on the proper medications and support, I began sleeping, eating, and being productive in what I would consider a 'normal' fashion. I (and my family and friends) were getting the 'old me' back!! It was so wonderful she exciting!! Today (just one month later), I am free!! Dr. Tang (after careful and considerate review of my symptoms and history) NAILED my situation!!! No more panic attacks. No more insomnia (I have a great 8 hours of sleep). No more depression. And no more mania ((I am okay without it if it leads to me panic and insomnia that was severely debilitating. I am so very glad I returned to Dr. Tang. Again, there was no judgment concerning my decision to'do my own thing' without Dr, Tang and therapy. I am so at ease and balanced!! I highly recommend Nashville Brain Institute.
