Both Dr. Çonley and his entire staff are extremely professional, friendly and make going to a Dr's appointment a worthy experience. I highly recommend anyone seeking a Psychiatrist to consider Dr. Conley.

Dr. Rachal is very compassionate, and showed a genuine interest in learning about me and my health conditions before prescribing me a medication.

If I could award no stars, I would. The former Decatur Family Psychiatry was bought by the…read moreLifestance hedge-fund corporation and the downhill slide has been precipitous. Their Google reviews are glowing, which makes me suspect many or most are fake. Because we have had nothing but trouble from them ever since the buyout. Sure, there are some good providers, but the turnover rate is high due to the parent company's lack of respect for its workers, the providers. Impenetrable bureaucracy, web sites that don't work, uncaring employees, long, long wait times on the main phone number, etc. The excerpts below describe perfectly the nature of this ravenously monetizing uncaring corporate culture: 'Former employees at practices acquired by LifeStance described working at the company as a culture shock, with locations being run "like a fast-food restaurant" with "no one really caring that these are patients' lives. ... Despite the potentially addictive nature of some of these medications, former LifeStance employees claim that medication prescribers have been advised to cut consultation times to maximize revenue, with some former clinicians having seen "30 patients a day". Others described it as akin to "war medicine." LifeStance also rewarded its "highest-performing" medication prescribers with stock grants, according to the company's CFO. A former practice owner told us the grants were tied to number of sessions a clinician conducts, an incentive that can encourage quantity over quality of care. ... Overall, we think LifeStance is a classic example of what happens when private equity meets a 'hot' healthcare sector: Massive debt fueling a grinding, metric-focused corporate culture resulting in worse quality of care for patients, a worse environment for clinicians and long-term losses for the average investor.' https://hindenburgresearch.com/lifestance/

I scheduled an appointment and was not able to make it because of an emergency involving my 8-month…read morepregnant wife. I knew I was missing the appointment but did not have the bandwidth to call them as I was focusing on my wife and unborn child's well-being. I received a bill for a $75 no-show fee. This is pretty standard and I did not have a problem with them sending me this bill. However, I called immediately and explained the situation. The woman on the phone was sweet, she said she had a small child and said: "Of course you weren't thinking about calling us!! I will see about getting this charge reversed." That was 5 months ago. This week, I received another bill for the $75 no show fee. I called again and the person I spoke to this time said "Yes, we see that you called in but we're unable to reverse the charge. You'll have to pay the $75." I just think this is poor form coming from a group that has several locations, has great reviews, and is a fairly large entity here in Georgia. That $75 means a lot more to me than it does to them, and I wish they had a better no-show policy that leaves room for emergency situations.

Over the past few years, I've dealt with many psychologists and psychiatrists, and I've experienced first hand the frustrations of dealing with the mental health and substance abuse "system". For most, you have an hour, and once you've paid for that hour, you no longer exist. Follow up texts and phone calls might be returned, but probably not for a couple of days if ever. There's no real warmth or caring behind the professional, and they take no interest in the patient beyond that hour. After meeting with one particular psychologist for a solid year, we had to interrupt our regular meetings for the past 8 weeks. I would have expected at least a simple text "How is it going?", but I've heard nothing. Dr. Grieco was quite the opposite. He felt genuine, and while I'm sure he does well financially, I didn't feel it was all about the money. During a particularly tense moment in the patient's care, I called Grieco's office at 11pm to leave a message regarding care the next day. I expected to leave a voice mail, but he surprisingly answered the phone. I apologized, and said "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to answer. I was going to just leave a voice mail. I can call back tomorrow." He said, "No it's ok. Tell me what's going on." That was quite a welcome relief at that moment, and especially at 11pm. If you can find a psychologist like this, don't let go.
