Robert Summerour's Online Review Report Card

THE best psychiatrist I have seen. Brilliant man. Easy to talk to and listens very carefully. Has helped tremendously with my depression and anxiety. Does not just just write prescriptions, in fact has weaned me off of unnecessary medications. Honestly do not know what i would do without him and his expertise.

Was not supportive or helpful... I didn’t feel trustworthy...

Great person

Dr. Summerour has seen me on and off since 7 years ago. He knows I have an issue with marijuana abuse and have had relapses, let alone bipolar disorder and ADHD, and when I lost my job and girlfriend, I went into a dark place. During this time, I missed one appointment. Come to find out next time I call, Dr. Summerour refused to see me. Undeterred, I contacted his after hours patient line, during which the operator contacted Dr. Summerour and gave me a message back from the Doctor, saying that I should voluntarily go to the county hospital and submit myself for a psychiatric evaluation, also known as a 5150 hold. Instead of telling me to just get a different doctor through his after hours patient line, he had the operator tell me to go inpatient. Not JUST that, but he wanted me to have the doctor who administers my treatment during this time contact him after my hold. I asked for clarification, Is there a chance Dr. Summerour will see me if I do this? The answer was an emphatic yes. Many of you are probably not familiar with a facility called ETS, but that is the only facility connected to the county hospital for psych evals. And it is full of lower functioning people that are looking for a place to live, or suffering from addiction to things far greater than weed and honestly my entire stay there I watched as many people got tranquilizer shots and got put to sleep because they were being so out of hand. 2 and a half days later, I am released from the 5150 as the Doctors there determined that I had no shortterm health problem that would interfere with my day to day life. They also contacted Dr. Summerour. Guess what? Yup, Dr. Summerour tells me (through his secretary) that he doesnt want to see me. When I inquire about the 5150 and why he wanted me on it, the secretary said that I was mistaken and the Doctor never wanted to see me. When I said what the after hours patient line told me, the secretary seemed taken aback and didnt know what to say other than Ill leave him another message! This whole experience would be a joke if the 5150 wasnt so bad. I had to sit in a chair in a large lobby looking room for 3 days because they couldnt transfer me to a bed. Instead of being able to sleep in a room somewhere with maybe only one roomate to bother me, I sat and watched crazy people being crazy for 72 hours just because Dr. Summerour felt my only option was to go on a 5150. Stick to your Christian band, you need more practice because you are not a man of God.

Amazing insight.with compassion..helped me focus and see more with clarity..excellent... .wud refer everyone that needs professional help with trauma or help with any psychiatric need...excellent direct to the point at zeroing in on problems...very direct..he is a 5 star psychiatrist

In my opinion money is the priority. Dr Summerour is less than sincere. Entrance doors are really dirty. Waiting room is dirty and in need of new furnishings. Appointment time means absolutely nothing. 30 min to 90 min wait times. Unorganized and unprofessional. I fired him recently. Feeling so much better. �

Saved the quality of my life and saved my life. Wouldnt go to anyone else.

Dr. Summerour is easy to talk to. He has a warm, friendly bedside manner. He is never condescending, but he does give some good advice that I take to heart. He is definitely an expert in diagnosing and treating mental illness. Yet, what I think I like best about him is that I know he believes me when I describe symptoms that I have. This is probably why he has been my psychiatrist for over 15 years. He is also a very positive person and will "cheerlead" you on in any goals you are pursuing.From One Happy Patient ----------- J.

Dr Summerour changed my life. Always time for me. Always returns calls. Goes above and beyond.

Dr. Summerour is a very caring, compassionate doctor who listens and really hears what I am saying.
