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

Watch out for Dr. Yuan. She is a non-caring individual. I went to this practice and the word fits…read morepractice. I had all my medications moved to her office, The biggest mistake I could have made. She pushes Buprenorphine like it is candy. Then requires everyone to shell out of pocket for her so-called group therapy classes. She cut one of meds off that can't happen it would take 1-2 years of tapering. Her PA which was great had increased this medication. Shortly afterwards the PA was no longer with this terrible place. Dr. Yuan more than likely terminated her. But I was the one who suffered and now seeking legal advice. Dr. Yuan is arrogant and told me I had issues that her practice can't handle. She must be paying people to give her good reviews.

I saw Dr Fitzgerald for increasingly severe depression in 2011. Based on a 10mn intake he diagnosed…read moreme with ADD (his specialty) and started adding ADD meds to my treatment. Week after week I got worse and our follow up appointments were about 5mn long with him literally standing on the doorstep trying to walk out while I tried asking for medication adjustment and re-evaluation. He'd announce we'd just increase it for bit and see how that went. He couldn't get out of the room fast enough. There was always an air of condescendance to him which is isolating to a patient. Bedside manners during depression flare up, while not a cure-all, help a patient gain trust in the Doctor and help ease the anxiety that comes with the enormous mental turmoil. He certainly provided none of that. It was especially frightening because we were new to the area and this was the Dr I needed to help me combat my illness. Things got really bad and I had to find a new Dr. (DR Lurie in Charlotte is fantastic and works WITH me and i have been perfectly well now for 6 years). I would never, ever recommend Dr Fitzgerald.

I have been a patient of Dr shah when he was in rock hill sc. The practice was on highway 5 in sc…read more I started seeing him as a patient when he was new to practice. Everything was going great. Then the Clinic he was working at closed. He opened his first Clinic in Fort Mill sc. I believe Baxter hood. He had a great office assistant, can't remember her name. This is during COVID 19. She was then on a computer promoter and very intelligent and efficient. Then he moved to a different location in Baxter Hood. And had excellent administration. At one point Dr Shah came in to help the staff. She is very intelligent and respectful of you as a client. That being said I had several phone visits and was not in actual office. Everything is fine. Then when he hired the front office staff in Tega Cay SC and i had someone at the office put in my prescription for Dr Shah it was the worst experience ever. I was not getting actual dose Dr Shah had prescribed for me, but what this assistant decided i should be prescribed. I then had severe panic attacks and tried to leave a message for Dr Shah and he acted like he never knew. Now I had to cancel my upcoming appointment due to hospitalized for pneumonia and the office staff refused to cancel and reschedule when i was in the clear from pneumonia. All i want is to let Dr Shah know. His front office staff is giving me medical advice and telling me to take a medicine the ER doctors told me not to take. They are saying take the medicine and not let me get a word in. I am giving Dr Shah 1 more chance to come to conclusion as what and who are advising his patient on medical care without a license. ​
