My son sustained an acquired brain trauma in 2017. After numerous attempts and several doctors I connected with Dr. Earthman through the assistance of my primary care physician. Dr. Earthman is a tremendous help to my son’s treatment. I appreciate the tele visits, and he’s very patient. The treatment road is long and I appreciate Dr. Earthman’s guidance on this “journey!”

I don’t know why all the negative reviews. I’m part of the Baylor Scott and White health system and they made me wait a week before seeing my PCP and then said it would be one more week before a psychiatry referral... all of this while I was experiencing the WORST panic attacks of my life.Week went by and no response. Called my PCP who said if it was that bad to go to a psych hospital.Google, brought up an ad for TMS and Dr. Earthman. I was so miserable and desperate for help that I sent a message to the office. Within the hour I got a call and was scheduled less than a week later for my visit with Dr. Earthman.He immediately understood what I was going through and was able to provide me some temporary medication to keep my anxiety at bay and help me get back to a normal routine.We then discussed TMS, which I had a great interest in. We decided to go that route with the hopes of coming off of antidepressants entirely and taking holistic supplements. Which is what I truly want.Something I really appreciated was one night I had a terrible panic attack and called EMS. When I let Dr. Earthman’s office know they checked in with me immediately and said they would try and get me in sooner.Lastly, I had concerns about a med and sent a message over and got a response within the hour.I don’t get service like this from ANY of my providers.Now, less than a week after my first meeting I’m starting TMS.I’m so grateful to have found someone who didn’t put me on a waitlist for weeks AND is willing to workout payment arrangements. Though my insurance is covering almost all of it. For that I am truly blessed.

When I first started seeing Dr. Earthman I was having a very difficult time after my divorce and move, and struggling to make ends meet. I was on medication from a provider, but right away on my first visit he said that the doses were not therapeutic- that they were so low that they would not do anything. He changed my doses and I began to feel better. Even though they are medications I could get at a general provider, the support and knowledge here have been invaluable to me. I also have a new job and it feels like (and is) a start to a new life. I am very thankful.

Dr Earthman is outstanding. After a couple of sessions, he determined I was not taking the right medication and switched me to the right one. It has made a world of difference.His sessions were quick and to the point, very objective. Plus, if I struggled, I knew I could count on him. He always went above and beyond for me.

At first I was hesitant after reviewing the reviews. I went to see him today, he is actually a great psychiatrist! He listened to me he explained everything! I would recommend him. He understood me, it wasn’t a 5 minute appointment it was 30 minutes. I’m glad that I chose him as my psychiatrist.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Earthman’s for roughly 7 years. As a nurse, my minimum criteria for a provider is clinical knowledge. If they’re caring and compassionate, great, but not an absolute necessity. I can truly say Dr. Earthman meets all my criteria and then some. Not only does he listen to me and have excellent knowledge of psychiatry and medications, he’s genuinely concerned with my mental health. The entire staff from the office manager, secretaries, to the TMS provider all are genuinely good people with my best interest at heart, which is not easy to find in this day and age. They work with me when I need it, they always call me back, and they truly care!

Two stars because Julie is nice. He spent about 10 minutes with me the first time. 5 minutes every time after that. My insurance doesn’t cover mental health treatment of any kind. He continued to require me to come in every 3 months- when I’ve been on my same meds for several years -and he’s expensive. I changed to him in 2014, and I’ve regretted every minute of it. Finally left. (And he has Zero personality) not good with someone who is supposed to at least pretend to want to help. Never again. Adios

I think that Dr Earthman is an excellent doctor. He is calm and dedicated wants to help you with all of your issues. He listens and made me feel comfortable. I am glad that I started seeing him. Seeing him and deciding for yourself is absolutely the way that you should go. He believes that there is more to getting well than just talking and medication. Your whole well-being plays a massive role in your mental health. Taking care of yourself, includes taking care of yourself. If you truly want to become the person you should be, this is the doctor for you. I am very happy and satisfied with seeing him. He is not a doctor that will give you medication because of what you believe is your diagnosis. He is the doctor that will help you and will do what is best for you.

Ive been seeing doctor earthman since 2010. He and his office staff are amazing. I appreciate that he keeps up with current treatments and offers options like TMS. Julie is a gem and always extremely helpful with my appointments and easy to chat with. Whens my husbands company switched over to BCBS they worked with then to get on contract; when though i would have continued to post full price out of pocket just to start with Dr. E. Its things like this that continue to keep me happy with not only my medical care but also shoe he cares for his patients.

Nothing but the best care!!! I would still be a patient if I hadnt lost access to health insurance. He listens to you and has suggestions if you want to try a different approach than a bunch of medications. I prefer a more holistic and natural approach and only meds as needed and he was more than willing to work with me, which was such a relief after every other psychiatrist had tried to stuff me full of drugs until I was a zombie but Dr. Earthman heard me out and was very understanding and patient with me.

Terrible customer service- after filling out forms weeks ago to get a first time appointment- thats the only way you can! I didnt receive a call back for several weeks. When I did my Amy who later I find out is the office manager, never returned several calls, more weeks go by. The receptionist June knows nothing, after playing with pressing buttons she answered the phone and just wanted to put me in Amys voicemail. I work for a doctor-- there is absolutely no reason a patient shouldnt be called back to at least acknowledge them within a 24-48 period. dont waste valuable time, find an office that cares.

The customer service is something that needs extreme work. Very rude will not allow me to call on behalf of my daughter who if he was a good Dr. Would understand her situation. They told me 48 hrs to call to reschedule but wont talk to me so they told my 19 year old 3 business days or they charge my card $285.00 for a missed appointment but they would see her sooner but not later. What a joke. Plus every time she goes literally she is in there 5 minutes and they charge me $150 dollars or whatever the office visit is. Mind you we were calling to reschedule and it took calling at least 4 times with my daughter leaving an vm as well as I so not to get charged the $285.00

See all these negative reviews? Theres a reason for that - he is interested in one thing and one thing only: your money. If you do decide to book an appointment with him, go to his website first and read over his office policies. One of them specifically states that he charges $75 to fill out FMLA paperwork. No exceptions.The first (psych eval - $350) visit went fine, I wasnt terribly impressed as he was not thorough and barely asked me about my medical history. We finished up in about 20 minutes and he sent me out the door with a new prescription. The second visit, I brought him my 4-page FMLA paperwork and asked him if we could fill it out together during the session ($150), so I wouldnt have to pay the additional $75 just for 10 minutes of paperwork. He was staunchly opposed and would not budge, making statements like the policy is the policy, I went to medical school, I charge $500 per hour for contract work....the list goes on. I continued to gently press him regarding the $75 fee and he continued to get more and more flustered and agitated, finally culminating with if you dont like the way I run my business, Ill happily refund you the 150 bucks and you can see someone else. After he said this several times, I started to get the message - if I wasnt willing to pay his ridiculous fee, then he didnt want my business. So I left...walked out of the appointment early. I tried to call him later to file a complaint but he just had more lame excuses and said he had a very important phone call and couldnt speak with me further.The man is a complete buffoon and awfully predatory for someone who claims to be a mental health professional. I highly HIGHLY recommend seeking other psychiatrists. Unless you prefer to overpay an amateur.

This doctor is the absolute worst I have ever experienced. They took over a week to call me after I applied as a new patient online. Then his secretary Amy left me a voice mail. I returned her call within the hour and I never heard back from her. Two WEEKS later I left a message for her again. She did not return my call. The next day I got another secretary on the phone. She said they require me to give them my credit card number BEFORE they will see me for the first time. I said that I wished to complain. Then Dr. Earthman got on the line, yelled at me over the phone, using profanity, would not allow me to say a word, and told me that he refused to see me because he said I made his secretary cry. This is unacceptable for an ethical psychiatrist. I intend to complain to the state licensing board about this.

Although I a please with the care I received from Dr Earthman, the back office is complementary unprofessional. I rescheduled an appointment and a year latter my card was charged with my knowledge or permission for a no show appointment. I had been to the office 5 times sense the missed appointment an no mention that I have an outstanding balance.The person at the office use rude and unprofessional and refused to consider my case.

Dr. was completely unprofessional. Paid $375 out of pocket for what amounted to a 10min session. Did not seem interested in my condition or problems.

Ive been struggling with ADHD for over my whole life and he helped me find the right medications and tools to help me manage the problems that come with this disorder and get past some pretty heavy anxiety issues...I recommend him.I do wish he would spend a little more time to discuss things sometimes, but I understand that his schedule is packed...and right reason so, hes good.

Dont waste your time, especially if you are a chronic pain patient. He specializes in addiction therapy and assumes youre an addict if on pain meds and your treatment will be limited. He does not listen to the patient, hes more of a do it my way rather than listening to what it is your needing. He prescribed me Cymbalta which I had an immediate bad reaction to but I continued to take it for two months because I trusted him when he said hang in there, it will work. I quit taking it four days before my two month appointment because of the severe side effects I had. Really bad depression, endless sleepiness, the dry mouth was so bad it burned the roof of my mouth for a week, I couldnt eat anything, irritability and total agitation. For anxiety medication, it was the worst Ive ever experienced. I had originally asked for Diazapam for the anxiety which had worked for me years ago and I had taken a low dose. This was for a temporary situation as well, 3 to 4 months max for a hard time Im enduring at the moment.When I told him why I quit taking the Cymbalta, he seemed a little peeved that I didnt ask him first, and pretty much said I am the only person on the planet to have had bad side affects from that medication. What worked the most was a dose a day of the Diazapam. But since I was a drug abuser in his eyes due to being on chronic pain meds, which I never abused by the way, he brought me down from 30 a month to ten for no reason. If hes prescribing 30 a month, shouldnt I be allowed to take 30 a month? And I was actually taking less than that.These kinds of doctos Ive seen before, theyre control freaks that only want to do it their way and not listen or learn about the patients history. Good luck if you decide to go to this guy and expect him to hear you out or bother to listen. 2nd worst doctor Ive ever seen!

Dr. Earthman from my experience is a better than the average psychiatrist. Hes very analytical and knows how to read someones conditions quite well. The biggest benefit is that hes open to all sources of treatment, and is very knowledgeable in most of them. Giving him the ability to direct you to the right meds, counseling, and/or other treatments. I have Bi-Polar2 and ADHD, both have been very taxing on my life. Ive been to over 10+ psychiatrists, and found Dr. Earthman to be the most sensible, knowledgeable and productive on choosing the right meds.My 4 stars would be 5 stars, but Ive had issues with his office manager, and his week long vacations. My meds ran out, and I know Im partial to blame, but there was no backup to refilling my meds that keep me sane. Dr. Earthman was out on vacation, and had no backup plan what so ever. No other doctor, no forwarding voicemails, no office manager calling back, no vacation refills and my biggest annoyance was no notifications via email, text, or voicemail to inform all of his patients ahead of time that he was going to be out. Plus, his voicemail recording for the first 3 days was just that they werent by the phones and would call back later. This to me is very unprofessional and not right. Now, Im hoping theyll rework his practice by him getting a new office manager, notifying patients of when hell be out, and implementing a better backup plan.
