I also suffer from ADHD, and PTSD from childhood abuse. I have tried therapy multiple times and made no real progress. Perhaps one could argue that I wasn't ready. I would argue that I was ready but desperately needed a "safe place". He has given me that. He shows great empathy and his intuition constantly amazes me. Imagine being so close with someone that they already know your thoughts and your pain? This is NOT the psychic friends network! Because of Dr. Smith's due diligence (gathering case documents from my Neurologist, PCP, Hematologist, & other professionals) on my unique case he was able to avoid wasted time in the very beginning. Currently I have been seeing Dr. Smith for over two years and my progress has been nothing short of of amazing. He took on someone with multiple issues and due to his patience and willingness to wait until I was ready to open up and tell everything, he has literally saved my heart. When I came to him I was so broken, hurt, and in incredible pain. Today, I able to see things how the truly are and move forward with a healthy life. I never dreamed I could be in such a healthy, safe, and self progressive state. I would recommend him for abused women in particular. His insight, and the tools he has provided me have been so substantial that I honestly do not feel that I will not regress to that deep cold place that reminds me of the ugliness. If I am taken there with certain triggers, I now know exactly what do to. Aka...Mask of the Doctors wife...(married to another physician, who often wore a mask of happiness to avoid pain and shame). Also a shameless plug for my upcoming book! Did I say he was good? No longer wearing the mask!

We genuinely have a good time at each appointment. If you are looking for someone to work with children who have ADHD or who are twice exceptional, as it is called, you will find a gem in Jennifer Bagsby. She is nurturing and understanding and works with one's parenting style. She explains theory in as much depth as you require. The office is friendly, courteous, and helpful. We have had nothing but ease and helpful service in regards to scheduling and working with our insurance. I cannot recommend this office more highly.

WOW.... very unfortunate situation with just simply trying to book an appt. I was originally…read morereferred by the Veterans Affairs Community Choice Network. They work hand and hand with the veteran and can book appointments for you or also work with you to book appointments yourself. I tried both ways. I worked with Orlando from the VA CCN organization, he let me know he put three calls in over the course of two weeks. I also reached out to make an appointment two weeks ago. The number for intake routes to a voicemail, says to give them 72 hours for a response. Also I filled out the intake paperwork and got a text from a "Lexi" that assured me my paperwork was good, even though the website glitched. I then waited for days. I finally texted again to find out an update. Lexi replied via text to say she was at a Dr appt with her daughter and they would follow up Monday. ...ok I wished her a good weekend. The following week.. again.. crickets... I let Orlando know what was happening and that we would try one more time. This week has now passed and again nothing...after three more texts and two more voicemails. Again all spaced within 72 hrs.... I am sure they might have good therapists here.. but trying to get in and get established is laughable and should not be this hard. I am moving on and will seek help elsewhere. The intake process here needs to be thoroughly examined as you are losing patients. This is stressful to people that are already in stress and need assistance. To be met with this type of unprofessionalism, apathy or just plain incompetence is really sad.

Horrible. Volunteer admission and before the tour after signing in was done I already knew this…read morewasn't the place to be. During pre-admission phone call you're told false information. Once they have you signed in and you're taken to the back(locked in) you're given the "tour" of the public bathroom with all 5 stalls ,couple sinks,trash can running over with trash,and the back of the bathroom equipped with a half length pull over to shut grungy plastic shower curtain for your utmost privacy for the numerous open room of showerheads. With the metal water mop bucket (on wheels) and industrial size mop still in the dirty water for your convenience, I assume? Why is there a nasty water mo bucket parked in the corner of the multiple patient shower/bathroom?? There's no drinks nor snacks(except for the water fountains in the hallway and the small bag of chips or pretzels; your choice of one, and room temperature water out of the water fountain. No blood work was checked so you really aren't sure what is being shared with you via public showers/restrooms and public H2O fountains. Did I mention this place is CoEd and I was told by nursing everyone here are adults and adults do things. So please is you do ,use protection. What?! Was it really jus told that? Yes I definitely was told that. No TB check, nothing. Well,a dip stick urine pregnancy test was given. The smoking area outback was disgustingly nasty. More cigg buts on the ground then in the one ashtray post they had out there. What looked like dried up spit ,goobers,and old blackened, smashed to the little bit of concrete patio they did have, spots stuck all over it ,old gum?food? Snot? Your guess is as good as mine! Lights out at 10pm. Basically no food or drink after 8 or 8:30 pm (small bag of chips and water fountain) til breakfast at 7am. The "catered" meals were smaller then the smallest buffet I've ever seen. Everyone picking at it randomly, most using thier fingers. Thanks but no thanks,I'll pass. The bedrooms they said I'd have A roommate. I had 2 roommates. The boxspring had wet stains half the way down all the sides. The mattress had 2 round shaped wet stains on it. Small flat pillow without a pillowcase. The small 2 drawer nightstand each bed had was made of cheap press board and the second drawer was stuck tight and wouldn't open. No TV and the overhead light came on because it was on a motion sensor. Just turn over in your bed or stretch your arm out and the overhead ceiling lights would come on and stay on until you got up and turned them off by the wall switch at the door. I told them immediately I wasn't happy with the condition of the facility and wanted to sign back out. I was told no they couldn't do that until the "higher ups" came in at 7 and 8 am. At 7am I was told no not 7 but 8am. At 8 I was told I had to wait til 9 or 10 cause health inspection was coming and everyone was too busy to help me due to everyone cleaning to prepare for the inspection. I finally had to get ugly and demand to be seen, to get someone to get a "higher up" and he(dont know his name because he didn't introduce himself) was rude,sarcastic,mocking and spoke down to me. He continued to tell me he couldn't let me leave from the back(locked in) until he took care of some other things so I was just going to have to wait. I told him I most certainly will NOT wait ,I have been getting the run around since the night before. I demanded he open the door and let me into the lobby and if he did not I wil consider that to be holding me against my will. Only then did he reluctantly open the locked door to the waiting room/lobby. Then again he continued to stall me asking me "Do you have any idea how much paperwork is involved to releasing someone?" I told him no I dont so we better get started now if there's so much to it. He refused and told me I had to wait he had other things to do 1st. I finally got my belongings and I walked out. My husband picked me up. I couldn't have felt more a prisoner in jail then that poorly run place. They shouldn't even be allowed to remain open. Oh a treatment consists of doping everyone down with a cup full of pills. Eat, meds amd most all go back to bed and sleep the dy away. This rotates 3 times a day breakfast lunch and supper.
