This probably sounds like over-reach, but I'll say it anyway…read more.. Dr. Melvin gave me my life back. 23 years ago, suffering from major depression, I decided I needed help and chose to find professional help. The first two psychiatrists I contacted tried "quick fixes", and when they didn't help much, they went no further. The a friend recommended Dr. Melvin. My first impression when meeting him was a demeanor of calm professionalism, and and obvious drive to help me with my problem. After a substantial discussion of my symptoms, he decided that medication was the best choice for me. We tried 3 different anti-depressants, all offered some, but not significant help for my depression...but Dr. Melvin did not give up. He suggested a rather obscure "old school" anti-depressant that he had found was sometimes effective when the more recent medications were not. I knew within 2 hours after taking this that my solution had been found. I was so profoundly moved that it was hard to control my emotions. I felt good for the first time in several years. And this has continued, with this medication, for the last 23 years, really the best years of my life. Maybe some other psychiatrist would have been persistent like Dr. Melvin, but maybe not...and I would be where I was 23 years ago. I hardly ever write this sort of thing. But it occurred to me that there might be someone out there like me who needs someone with his skills to solve there problem. Thank you, Dr. Melvin

I have struggled with a complex history of brittle bipolar disorder, anxiety and PTSD for nearly 30…read moreyears and life for me was always a constant roller coaster ride. I had a gifted psychiatrist in CT who kept me stable and out of the hospital so when I moved to NC two years ago, I was devastated. My health suffered as I searched, three times unsuccessfully, to find the right doctor. Honestly, online reviews were of little use to me in my search for a new doctor in a new state especially those from patients overly enamored or spitefully griping about an experience. I hope this review serves as a candid, honest and critical guide and that it leads you to consider AND meet Dr. Chepke and his staff. Everyone at Excel Psychiatric is patient-centered and the office is run that way. I have regular appointments and NEVER wait longer than 5-10 minutes to see Dr. Chepke or for a ketamine treatment. This is a luxury as I routinely wait, sometimes over an hour to see my PCP or other specialists. The staff is attentive, cheerful and always responsive to my needs whether it is for a refill, insurance authorizations, the boatload of paperwork I routinely need completed or for an appointment. People have complained about getting in to see Dr. Chepke but it has been my consistent experience that if I need an appointment or to change one, I get one promptly and in a timely manner. Dr. Chepke is very involved in education and cutting edge medicine (which is a true bonus) so often travels to conferences and seminars. He and his staff always take this into account and when needed, offer office hours at non-traditional hours INCLUDING weekends. I have never been left dangling as was suggested by a previous reviewer. As a graduate of Duke University, Dr. Chepke is well-educated and knowledgeable, but more importantly, is extremely involved in knowing the latest treatments and advances in psychiatry. I am currently receiving ketamine from Dr. Chepke and it has changed my life. He is only one of a handful of docs in NC approved to administer this treatment. Ketamine is not a money-maker but Dr. Chepke offers this and other treatments because that is the BEST treatment for his patients. I can't stress how important this commitment is from ANY doctor. It is rare in today's world. Equally important, Dr. Chepke is compassionate, caring and kind...he always focuses on me and my needs and never makes me feel rushed. I am gay and at Excel, I always feel welcome and able to be candid about my life. The office is a true judgement-free zone. I've never had a question or concern not addressed, and Dr. Chepke and his staff are timely in getting back to me with answers and/or a plan. Lastly, I want to mention that I am a physician assistant and am the first to admit that I have high standards and expectations because of my knowledge and experience in medicine. I speak as an unbiased patient and provider when I say that Dr. Chepke is what I'd call "a doctor's doctor." He is THE doctor a doctor wants. Dr. Chepke KNOWS medicine and uses his knowledge and experience with innovation to provide the best treatment possible. He thinks "outside-the-box" when needed and is not afraid to go the extra mile to keep me feeling my Very Best Self.

It is deeply frustrating that spouses have no ability to convey critical concerns in situations like this. There should be stronger protocols that allow family members to share safety-related information, even if the provider is limited in what they can disclose in return.
