I am writing a review regarding a customer service interaction my wife had with your administrative staff member Kristen. My wife has routinely received calls from the office for the start of her appointments. Last week she did not received a phone call from the office for her last appointment which was thereby missed. She followed up to find out what had happened and reschedule. She spoke with Kristen on 11/8/2021 at approximately 4:30pm.
Kristen was frustrated with my wife for missing the appointment, Kristen felt that my wife did not have a valid reason for missing the appointment. She also

Horrible doctor, extremely unprofessional. You will be told that you are getting a 3 month supply of medication and only receive 2 months. I have been trying to receive my last refill for over a week and the doctor has yet to send my prescription to the pharmacy. How are you prescribing controlled substances and then cutting off your patients.

Every experience I've had with Psychiatric Group of Orlando has been incredibly helpful. I appreciate the Healthcare professionals as well as the accessible and competent staff. Kristy has been truly helpful when I have specific needs answered about my medications or to make appointments. If you're searching for an office to meet your needs... this is the place!

I love this place. I never have any issues getting an appointment and the staff is always so wonderful. The back office staff as well as the front desk girls always make me feel right at home. Its not always easy finding a good office and Im so glad I found them here!

Worst Experience ever beginning with the Front office staff ,(Christy) should be fired the way she handles any situation very Rude and Unprofessional she basically said "thats not her problem and if you dont like it you can go else where", all the way to Upper Management including the Supervisors who are never there to rectify any problems. The Lack of Professionalism they show to there patients are Horrible. This explains why they have a low rating on Google Unfortunately i had to choose a star in order to post this it should be zero. They should be Non-Existent and should be shut down the way
