We needed our son's records sent to his school (after only a few visits) and were charged $50. We also had to wait over 1/2 hour past our appointment time in the waiting room, and were told "oh, she has a new patient". Tell us that BEFORE we drive there and wait. Just basic consideration.

The star is for the staff - most of them are kind and professional. But the clinic is a mess. I…read moredon't know how their Yelp rating is that much different than their Google rating TBH. They charge no-show fees, yet it's nearly impossible to reach anyone. I've tried calling, emailing, faxing, and replying to texts with no response. Every visit has meant a long wait, and I'm willing to wait but the overall experience just isn't worth it. I've stuck with this place only because it's required for workers' comp; otherwise, I'd be long gone. I'm writing this review as I've been on hold for 30 minutes now and still counting, I've had other times where I've been on hold for almost an hour. They still use paper charts, there's no patient portal, and medication transfers take forever. If you're stuck with this clinic, treat the front desk like your last lifeline, book everything, ask everything, double-check everything, because once you walk out, it's radio silence. If you're looking for a regular provider, responsive care, avoid this place. And if you don't believe me, just follow the trail of 1- and 2-star reviews. I'm far from the only one.

Then I tried again and heard back and they told me for the neurofeedback I was interested in someone else would contact me, but they never did. A year later I tried again and I finally got someone to call me after reaching out multiple times and they said they don't take insurance, which is not what it seemed to say on their website. Overall I got bad vibes from them and so I'm leaving this review just to let them know that you lost a client before you even had them by being very bad at following up and very unclear and unforthright in your costs. Meanwhile other TMS and neurfeedback clinics in Nashville got back to me in 1 day. The only reason I tried to give this one a chance is because it was a closer drive, but it's just not worth it.

Out of the blue, they informed me that I owed a large balance for 2 office visits, when I've never had this issue previously- the VA handled it all. NBI said there was an authorization issue that I needed to rectify. No. They wanted me to do their job for them. Again, horrible. They left me without a provider while I was in a mental health crisis and needed immediate help. As a veteran with severe PTSD, this is completely unacceptable and it was hard to navigate. After finally getting answers and forwarding to NBI billing, I didn't hear back for 2 months. THEN they say I still owe the balance, and I need to rectify- again. After getting in touch with the VA, I've learned that the reason they dropped me as a patient is because they were frustrated that they could not LEGALLY charge veterans for services rendered. Absolutely awful experience, and I'm still getting threats for my balance to go to collections. Absolutely lazy and incompetent employees with the worst customer service!

Despite showing up an hour before my scheduled appointment, he was still 3 hours late. He didn't apologize nor introduce himself. More puzzling, he didn't even inquire as to why I was there to begin with. I kept trying to explain to him my debilitating diseases that had left me in a wheelchair and he seemed annoyed and distracted, constantly tapping his forehead. I was holding back tears the entire appointment because I'm in so much pain and desperate for medical intervention. When a patient, who has been partially paralyzed comes to a neurologist for help, you would think they would be taken seriously. I've had multiple surgeries, biopsies, seen countless specialists. I went to him for actual help. I felt like he was trying to trick me. He would ask me questions (that had absolutely nothing to do with the problem at hand) that he already knew the answer to. For instance, I have tachycardia. He said, "So, did you get your tachycardia diagnosed with a CT scan?" I said, "No, I got it diagnosed with a EKG, stress test and tilt table test". He said, "Yes, I already knew that." He did that multiple times for multiple things. If you already know something, and you already have seen my medical record and it has zero to do with why I am seeing you...why are you playing these games? He finally says that his staff will call me for an MRI by Friday (this was on a Monday) and he would see me in two weeks. It is now August 2020 and I have yet to receive that phone call. I have, however received numerous mailings requesting five star reviews for their practice. Perhaps they should give five star medical service. Granted I wouldn't go back if you paid me but, I feel the need to write this review because I went to him based on the other positive reviews which I now question.

She asked, "Did your husband go with you?" I said, "No, it was a work trip." That was the extent of the conversation, as we had wrapped the appointment and decided on a new medication, and because of these 10 seconds of small talk, I was charged for therapy. I inquired with the billing office, noting I did not sign up for therapy and have a separate provider for that purpose, and I was told they are "required" to charge for services if anything personal is discussed. This is a common practice known as fraudulent upcoding. I have had better "therapy" from both my derm and my obgyn. Avoid this place.

Your brain feels like it's being blown out the back of your head, being choked by a wire around your neck, just weird feelings all over from head to toe... Like feeling like you're bouncing on a trampoline or springs on your feet or like your feet sliding out from under you but you APPEAR fine so you're not heard properly and diagnosed with anything at all (other than it could be ms, stroke, etc.) after several years of trying to keep yourself from crashing emotionally from all the weird feelings going on that HAS to come from your brain. What kind of doc fixes this except a neurologist?? Told I need a sleep test, which I agreed to but never gets set up, several times, turns into MY fault. This is crazy when I sleep fine. That's totally not an issue. My "off" feelings are after several falls, banging my head and neck, hard. You'd think I could have been helped some, by now. Instead, I'm getting worse DAILY. I'll die, going down like a rock before anything gets done to help me. Now, I'm told to go elsewhere because I didn't get one medicine I already had that didn't work with all I have to take and the sleep test, they didn't set up. Ok. I'll do that. But, how your bedside manner could be greatly improved is important for you, doc. Your compassion for someone very sick is seriously lacking when you don't want to listen to the real problem the patient feels. Nobody knows their body more than the person feeling it. Comprende? I'm a very letdown and hurt ex-patient. It stinks that I had such faith in your abilities. Key word.. HAD. Thanks

It is impossible to communicate with anyone in the office. They do not answer the phone, and it does not roll to voicemail. There is only one contact number, no email address or any way to get in touch with them when the phone does not work! The last time I actually got through after FIVE attempts, I told them, and they agreed it was broken, but a month later, it is still not fixed. They are dealing with patients in excruciating pain and can't answer the phone?? We never saw the doctor. We saw the PA, which is fine, but we were not told to expect this. She was going to call us after MRI, and someone much less knowledgable did and we were unclear what the next steps were. They took forever to set up the referral for treatment. The most horrific problem we had was when they referred us to a different doctor for treatment, they sent the records for a DIFFERENT PATIENT over. So they were calling and sending paperwork to the wrong person. We never got any follow up calls. After the treatment was not effective, I called to discuss options and was told a nurse would call back. Nothing. Really it is unbelievable the lacking concern of any doctor office we have tried here in Nashville. But this was definitely the worst. We selected this doctor due to the large number of 5 star reviews on all the health review sites. Our experience was NOT good. (Also, they do not have online payment option like all the other doctor offices we have seen lately. Can't pay online, can't get through on the phone, can't pay while in the office. I don't mail checks.)
