Report
The first few visits I made to this location weren't bad! On multiple occasions I felt my doctor was truly doing their best to help me, while others I felt like they were trying to get me out as quickly as possible. I think the final straw was hearing nurses (on more than one occasion) bad mouthing patients, including myself, right behind closed doors. You're a nurse, not a high school student. Save yourself the time and frustration.

Dr. Hardeman is who my visit was with. She was extremely knowledgeable and provided me with great information surrounding the nature of my visit. From my initial interaction, the staff was very helpful and professional. Jessica was very nice and even went that extra step to get me a cup of coffee during my office visit! A nice STRONG cup of coffee! I love seeing scriptures posted throughout the facility. They also have calming sounds playing over the speakers. Very relaxing atmosphere for sure. I was really pleased with this office visit.

My fiance goes there and I do as well through Medicaid and every time my fiance needs anything or trys to make an appointment or trys to get them to call her back they never do they never answer and they never call back and no one ever answers the phone. You would think over mental medicine and helping someone who has mental issues that they would take it very seriously but they don't

WE started in Woodlawn with Dr. Record. Then we were with Dr. Rogers. I can't find to words to say just how Wounderful they are. These Dr.s have passed there kindness and gentleness on to there staff. These people are so kind and caring. Dr. Rogers always says a prayer with me before I leave. What other dr. does that. None. They have changed my life. I will always be grateful to this team. Each and everyone of them. I thank God for putting them in my life.

My aunt is very sick and if she doesn't have her medications she could end up in hospital. They have been awful at keeping her medications refilled at right amounts and she's now been without one for almost 2wks now which can be almost deadly to her. But seeing as she has medicaid options are limited in close doctors for her to see. Very disappointed in this center. Once named changed everything went downhill.
