Singing River Health System- Outpatient Behavioral Health's Online Review Report Card

It fits what I need. Medicine Management. But if you're looking for someone to sit and listen to you on a weekly basis then no it's not for your needs. To get a Therapist you may be able to get, but a follow up could take 6 weeks. So be aware of that.

How do you all see Dr. Ridgeway? I came to this facility a few years ago. Only been seen probably 4 times. Five minutes each time. I see someone named Baker. From my understanding he's not even a pych doc...I'm from Pennsylvania and I had a whole team..on call..when I needed them. This place. You get scheduled a months apart. I requested a therapist..still have not seen or heard about it. When talking to Baker..he looks at the computer the whole time n doesn't listen. I have bipolar 1 and borderline personality along with other things. So me trying to manage this without help..is be coming hell. I have bad anxiety n panic attacks....I feel Mississippi is a$$ backwards on so many things. And the mental health system doesn't do squat. ....

This may seem like jumping on a bandwagon, but after seeing similar complaints I felt like adding my two cents. Overall, service is decent. Particularly because I don't use the service for therapy but rather for medication management so things like wait times for consultations don't bother me. Trust me when I say I've had much worse treatment elsewhere. Long story short, I'm under the impression that practitioners could be trained a bit better in bedside manner and not rely so heavily on the diagnostic side of things. Just a little human sensitivity is all. My issue lies with the first consult I had when I was attempting to get back on medication for the issue I had already been diagnosed for. I walked out with a brand new diagnosis of a personality disorder. Now, if I really did fit the DSM qualifications for said disorder, I won't complain, but when discussing my history, my practitioner seemed to really just be ticking off diagnostic boxes instead of listening to what I was saying. Like when I came in, she'd immediately flagged me with a diagnosis before speaking to me and was just checking to make sure she was right. Not to mention the fact that she appeared to ignore my mentions of things I was already diagnosed for that happen to have comorbid symptoms for the boxes she was checking. Again, if I really fit the bill, that's okay, but listening to a patient is ideal. We know our brains better than you do. We live in them.

Dr. Ridgeway is a really good psychiatrist. He’s very laid back, which makes him easy to open up to. He also takes the time to listen to me and talk with me, which I greatly appreciate.

Worst place I have ever dealt with They put me on new medication I waited 2 months had appointment and a call to cancel S said we need to reschedule I told them my medicine is not working I desperately need to see the doctor They said that I have to Wait a Mouth now what I waited a month and a few days before the appointment day called and canceled on me again so I happen without any medication 2 months now all because of doctor Baker

I went to talk to Dr. Lewis and I couldn't get a word in edgewise.. She told me what I needed to do instead of listening to my problem, I was so discussed that I ended the session early. Dr. Lewis is not professional

Most always a quick in and out for labs and testing.

I started seeing Dr. Ridgeway a few years ago and he has been my life saver! He always listened to me, helped me find a regime that works. I moved to Houston 10 months ago and have yet to find anyone like him.

I was given antidepressants and told to come back in 3 months. He only gave me a 30 day supply - no refills. So my antidepressants ran out. What am I supposed to do?

I have suffered from PTSD and everything that goes with it.If your serious about recovering my team has saved my life
