Karen Berry's Online Review Report Card

My mother stopped speaking I called her office per my mother's primary Dr. Her rude brick wall of a secretary told me Dr Karen Berry did not make a habit of speaking to the family. We fired her immediately, she is who Baptist East had assigned to her while in hospital.

This review may not be helpful, since Dr. Berry has changed her practice and is not seeing patients (as of May 20, 2017). However, I just wanted to thank Dr. Berry for many years of help. Her assistant/nurse/staff person Andrea has assisted me with prescriptions, etc. on many occasions as well, particularly when traveling out of town. Best wishes to Dr. Berry, she will be missed by many patients.

I just called for a new pt. appt. It clearly states "accepting new patients", but they tried to deter me by saying there is a 6 month waiting list. They said they don't have cancellation appts. When I asked to be put on the waiting list, they told me it was by doctor referral only. NOT HAPPY!

She was consulted to see a family member in the hospital, she stuck her head in the door and asked, How are you doing? My family member stated ok, and Dr. Berry left the room. She documented that she completed an assessment on my family member. She did not even introduce herself, much less complete an assessment. When the nurse came back in, my family member asked when is Dr. Berry coming and was informed that the lady who stuck her head in the door was Dr. Berry.

I was spoiled by being treated for chronic major depression and anxiety for 15 years by one of the last psychiatrists in Shelby County who did both talk and meds therapy. She was very intelligent, perceptive, and easy to access. When she retired I tried Dr. Berry. Dr. Berry has a very upbeat manner, but she was a step way down from my prior therapist: 15 minute instead of hour long sessions, a shallow mind by comparison, does not return non emergency phone calls, will not use e-mail for between visit informational conversations. Dr. Berry is basically just a mediocre pill pusher. Her assistant is rude too. I need to find a new psychiatrist who takes my insurance.

Dr. Berry's Office staff appears to be very incompetent and unprofessional. I think that she needs to seriously look at how he office is being run. She is a professional, yet her secretary is a far cry from that. Rude. Incompetent. Unprofessional. It is to the point that I am looking for another doctor. Dr. Berry is great, but I cannot deal with the staff anymore.

Dr. Berry is one of the worst doctors I have ever seen. Her staff is beyond rude. She will keep you waiting and waiting with zero regard for your time. She does not want to talk to you and tries to solve all of your problems with medication.

Would never ever recommend---have seen numerous psychiatrists and psychologists---none ever like this

Dr.Berry is the poorest excuse for a psychiatrist that I can possibly imagine. Waited 3-1/2 mos. for first appt., and she spent maybe 10 mins. with me ...

I have been seeing Dr. Berry for over 2 years now. She ranks up there with being one of the best doctors that I've ever had. I never feel rushed when I see her and she has helped me with anti-anxiety medication when I've needed it. The office staff have always been courteous to me.
