It really is a shame to leave such a negative review, because the psychiatrist whom I see at Goodman is a blessing. The service, however, is abysmal. It is near impossible to contact this place. To get an intake appointment, my therapist had to email and call multiple times over the course of a few weeks. I’ve spent entire mornings calling them on and off, and am sent to voice mail every time. When a receptionist does finally answer, they take my message and never pass it on. I have no idea what’s causing such slow service, but it’s really bogged down the otherwise exceptional experience I’ve had here.

Im grateful to this place as I came to them in a very dark point in my life. Had some addiction challenges, major depression, anxiety... and was able to get matched up with Susan, who helped me face and address these issues. Homework and some reading was involved, and I felt genuinely cared about as we powered through the causes of it all. To this day, three years later, I still see her to keep myself on track. We worked out a good medication schedule and I hope to continue to make this joint a continuing staple of my life. They care and give you the time and attention needed to better oneself. There may be some trial and error, and maybe you wont get back to perfect, but theyre a wonderful starting place and can right your footing in life. Alcoholism, suicidal thoughts, drug abuse, anxiety... theyre there to make it easier to manage. Massive props to their entire staff.

The people at the Goodman Center are remarkable! They are a full-service mental health doctors office and they changed my life. The way they interact with their patients in with one another is outstanding. They truly care

We have been going to the Goodman Center for many months seeing Adam. Adam has been wonderful in helping with our autistic son. The office staff are always been incredibly nice and helpful in making appointments and anything asked of them. Its a awesome place for what they do.

I personally have not been treated at the Goodman Center. However, my daughter was a patient for a brief time. I am angry, shocked and disheartened at how she was treated. Insurance wasn’t paying a lot on her treatment.We paid on appointments with the therapist for medication management and also the therapist for cognitive behavior. My daughter has taken medication for an issue she was diagnosed with over 8 years ago by 2 psychiatrists in the city we lived in before relocation. When she explained to Her therapist she could not afford 2 people snd asked to see just one therapist she was told no. She was also told the medication she has been on needed to be stopped. My daughter had already stopped one of the meds but was anxious about this last one. Susan gave her a prescription for one last month, told her she knew giving up the medication was one of the plans and encouraged her to go back to her original therapist 2 states away. My concern is the lack of empathy. Individuals with mental health issues cannot just be dismissed.

I cant say enough good things about the wonderful staff at the goodman center in farragut. They have shown more compassion than any group Ive ever had the experience of dealing with. Everyone from the owner to the receptionists have been perfect. We consider this group family and thats how they have made my family feel.I hope they continue to save lives. We love you all!!! Kelly Adam Alisha you are very special to us.

If you really value your mental health, and your just your life in general; you would have a better chance at receiving help wearing an I Hate Islam tshirt in Afghanistan! By far the absolute worst mental health facility I have been to. Im also still trying to understand how the Clinical Director of this facility can be a CONVICTED FELON who just got her license back last year, yet still be able to be a practicing physician!? 🤔

I was recommended to go to the Goodman Center for psychiatry, after having my son, as my previous office would no longer take me. I am incredibly disappointed in my experience, especially when it comes to the lack of genuine care.From my first appointment, the psychiatrist I was seeing, in more words, she isn’t going to help me until I stop breastfeeding my son. When I started going, I was only 3 months PP, so that wasn’t an option (for me personally.) Before my second appointment, I learned about an app that would give actual scientific research on medications and lactation, and she still invalidated it, and didn’t give it much attention. So we then resorted to mess around with the dosage of my current medication, and even doubled it. And since that didn’t work, we dropped it back down. Every appointment since, I feel like it was me trying to fix things on my own. I mentioned something that I heard about (Genetic Testing for Medicine.) And she agreed and told someone else to set it up on the way out. It wasn’t until my next appointment that I received any information on the alleged appointment, despite calling every week leading up. My last appointment, another “doctor” in their practice (not my psychiatrist) mentioned that I could just have ADHD, rather than the diagnosis I have lived with for the past 8 years.And to top everything off, I just received a letter as they “regret to inform me” that they will no longer help me as a client, due to me failing to show for appointments.... Granted, this past Wednesday I had an appointment I did miss, as I have been caring for my 7 month old son who was diagnosed with RSV, and that same day, I was with him on the ER. With everything going on, it completely slipped my mind that I had to go somewhere for myself, and I didn’t realize I had missed the appointment until last night, Friday night. Well they are closed after Friday for the weekend, and not even 3 days after my missed appointment, i receive the letter saying that due to me not showing for appointmentS, they will no longer take me... When I first visited, I signed a paper that discussed no shows. In which I would be penalized the first few times (if not at least the first time) by a charge, maybe $150 if I remember correctly. I didn’t even receive that until they told me that they weren’t going to help me anymore...Not that I’m upset that I can’t go there anymore, as I have already been looking for another place, but the fact that they were so quick to say they will no longer “help” me, just goes to show how little they cared for me as a client in their practice. I am incredibly disappointed and I would highly discourage anyone considering the Goodman Center for psychiatry for major depression/anxiety, and ESPECIALLY while breastfeeding.

The Drs & nurses truly care about their patients they saved my life Id give a million stars if I could such caring loving ppl 💜💛💜💛💜💛

I wouldnt even give them one star if I had an option. I am absolutely disappointed with this place and dont recommend it reason being is I spent $1800 on a so called miracle bridge device. I have been on suboxone and I wanted to get off as I dont want to rely on it. So I went to the Goodman center paid $300 for a consultation which is understandable I dont expect that money back. But I am so beyond aggravated and disappointed with this Place because the day I came in to get the bridge device it did not work he did not take away any symptoms. I even went home sat around for a couple hours and went back because it was not only hurting but it was not working at all. I was in tears going through withdrawals is not fun. I was told that it would at least alleviate some of the symptoms but may not alleviate all of them but this was after the fact that I got it put on. They said it would alleviate diarrhea, throwing up exedra. I had all of the withdraw symptoms. I was absolutely miserable and almost ended up in the hospital. And yet I went back that day and asked for my money back because it was not working and what did they do, they tried to reposition it which did absolutely nothing. I wanted my money back I said but obviously I was dismissed about that period they also said people coming off Suboxone and need a second device which was another $750 They said that After taking off the device within 2 hours you will feel the withdraw symptoms because the device is no longer working. Well I took it off at 6:00 a.m. in the morning Friday morning when I was supposed to go into Goodman center again to get the 2nd device on at 9:30 a.m. so 3 hours without the device and I felt the exact same the device never worked at all for me I was in excruciating pain. And yet now a single mother of 3 is out $1800 when I specifically asked the day I got it to get my money back because it was not working so be careful when you come here and pay for things I went recommend it and I definitely will never go back the money I lost was a big Dent In my savings. And I about lost my job because I was out for a week with how extremely bad the withdrawals were!

Best for mental health therapy. Love my DN! S.Barner, shes the bomb!

I didnt read the reviews before I went to the goodman center. If I would have I wouldnt have wasted my time because the done me the same way. I knew he was asking me some kinda strange questions. Then I knew why, he started asking me about probation that I was on and my past history on drug use. I wasnt sure if i was seeing the phycatrist or a judge. He started judging me by my past history and would diagnose me like he should. I didnt know that they could pull up my criminal background and treat me like a criminal.

Great place with caring staff and doctors!

Total nightmare.

Susan is the best
