Unfortunately,…read morethe same cannot be said about the front desk manager.Being someone of mental illness's and the way I was treated was just absolutely disgusting. The mistreatment could really hinder or trigger the patients state of mind, which is how I felt. I really hope that Dr. Patel and his facility recognize the mistreatment and just flat out disrespect. In my 7-8 years of dealing with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, this front desk staff manager has crossed a line and the lack of compassion and empathy really puts Dr. Patel in a terrible light and for him that is not fair.

My sister's been in a nursing home and I wanted her meds evaluated because she seemed to be going rapidly downhill. I *love* this facility. They kept me in the loop throughout her stay here. I received a call that she had arrived. I received several calls from staff members while she was there, keeping me informed. The doctor actually spoke to me about her meds and why he made the changes. It turns out I was right -- she definitely needed med adjustments. If your loved one is starting or has had memory and confusion issues, this is the place to send them for evaluation.

I saw one of Capitol City's psychiatrists, Dr. Esther Elphick, in March for some extreme depression related issues I had been having, and left crying due to how I was treated. She belittled me, made me feel stupid, and left me with a medication I didn't even know what was for. When I would ask her to clarify a question, she would simply repeat the question louder and with aggression, instead of explaining what she meant. She implied that my therapist from back home who I zoom call while studying during the year at FSU (who I have been seeing for 8 years and has helped me so much) has no idea what she's doing and that I should switch to a therapist at this establishment. At the end of the appointment, she listed off literally just the names of four medications and asked which one I wanted to take. I was so confused- I don't know what medications are for based off of just the name! I asked so many questions but she literally could not explain what the medications helped with. I scheduled a follow-up in April, and was terrified to go back. I have literally never dreaded anything more. I scheduled the appointment for April 17th at 1PM, but unfortunately there was a school shooting so I was unable to leave campus to get there. I called them, told them the situation, and they still charged me with a no-show fee. There was literally a school shooting. It's insane that I'm writing this right now. I started to believe that maybe psychiatrists were meant to be mean and aggressive, and that's how they single out the people who are simply just looking to get prescribed adderall or something. I ended up going to a different psychiatrist in my hometown, and she was amazing. She was so kind, made me feel comfortable, and was extremely empathetic. She went on maternity leave so they switched me to a different psychiatrist at their location who was just as amazing. This made me realize a psychiatrist like the one I saw at Capitol City Psychiatry is not what a psychiatrist should be. This experience did not help my mental health at all, it simply gave me more anxiety and made me feel even more hopeless.
