Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Remarkable
I have seen many psychiatrists locally but none come any better than Dr. Beasley. He makes sure you understand your diagnosis and explains how rapid cycling bipolar can be. We talked about a lot of diffrent medications and he went so far to explain to me how each one works so that I would know what to expect from each one. I have throughly enjoyed every visit in his office. His front office manager Crystal must be the best manager I've ever seen because I don't know how that place would ever run without her. She is like family when you come in, always helpful and knowledgeable. Zoey the therapy dog is the perfect companion when you come in. I am forever grateful that I found this office when I did and I cannot imagine going anywhere else.

Treats you like a Guinea pig
Cycled me on and off meds even when I was satisfied with outcomes. I believe he does this to then make it necessary to see him more frequently so he can charge his ridiculous fees. He has a really weird arrangement where he lives in his clinic. His bedroom is right next to his office, which makes for a creepy office visit. Also uses very racists remarks and seems to enjoy using the n word.

Wonderful!
Great Psychiatrist! I've seen another local psychiatrist and he would not even try newer medications, as he just kept going back to all of the old generics I have already tried. Dr. Beasley was willing to attempt the Prior Authorization with my insurance for a newer medication and it has changed my life. He is wonderful and I credit them with saving my life. His front staff Crystal is so caring and empathetic. She always works with me if I need to come in early or need to change appointments. I don't know how that office would run without her. Out of all of the doctors I have seen, Dr. Beasley is the best!

Dr Beasley is very thorough and invites confidence. I've seen "the other" psychiatrist in the county and that guy just didn't seem to care much. He asked questions by rote as if he were just reading them off a paper and didn't seem interested in your answers. Dr B's office is cozy and inviting. He asks his questions through conversation, asks follow-up questions to really dig in deep, and it feels like he is invested in hearing your answers and helping you. Zoe the office dog is great, too!
