Evelyn Frye Center's Online Review Report Card

JO BLACKABY IS A TERRIBLE NP! She abandoned me during one of the biggest mental health crisis I had in over 25 years! She recommended that I take more anti-anxiety meds and when I did that and things got much worse, I texted her, can the increased dose make things worse? She replied, "sometimes* then she stopped responding when I asked her what I should do next. This led to 3 hospital stays, 2 long term residential treatment centers, totalling 6 months of treatment due to her negligence.

I have nothing but praises for Evelyn Frye. I spent years feeling like no one understood my issues and years feeling like I would never be okay again then i began seeing Dr Frye. I meet with her once a week for over a year and she truly saved my life.

I am writing this 4 years after i had continuous treatment for a year+ Just like another reviewer, i moved to a new state. I researched online how to get my medical records and contact them. All i found of any use was an arrest warrent/affidaviant summary for the psychologist whom the facility is named after for a DUI! I better give up now getting my records. Look it up. She said "it's too hot to use my highbeams". Not good when the doctor is more mental than you!

I am so happy that I'm DONE with this office. Meeting Jo Blackaby was the only good thing about this place. Fortunately, she's opening her own practice now and I don't have to deal with the CHAOS that is E Frye. I was referred in 2019 when I moved to Nashville basically because no other office had openings. I saw why quickly. Good riddance.

In 2020, my mental health was declining, so I decided to contact the Evelyn Frye Center seeking help at the advice of my primary care doctor. Over a two week period, I called 3x and had to leave a message each time. Not once did I ever receive a call back. It took a LOT of effort to force myself to seek help, and to be completely disregarded was a slap in the face. Poor business.

Dr. Frye changed my life. I cannot thank her enough. Her expertise and wisdom have helped to guide me through some of the most difficult periods of my life and I’ve learned to live with myself and be the best version of myself instead of trying to force myself to be something I am not.

Back in 2018 or so I spent almost $300 out of pocket to once and for all get my ADHD diagnosis (worth it because I finally got answers) in 2020 I lost my insurance and had to quit meds cold turkey, have been trying since then to get my records sent over that were promised to be a lifetime record I could use if I ever needed to switch doctors. I’ve moved states and its been 2 years, no phone calls back, no emails back, no response on reviews. I’ve left countless messages as well. This place is a joke, they will never answer your calls, even when I was a patient, it was a nightmare getting anyone to call you back or answer during hours. The staff is lazy and I’ve witnessed them sitting around doing nothing while phones are ringing off the hook. I’m now looking into reporting them due to refusal of sending me my medical records! Avoid at all cost!

My husband Thomas seen Dr. Evelyn Fry, many years ago. He speaks of her very offen. While going through a divorce and a hard time at work. She helped him come to trems with his new life. Thomas even moved her yard. That helped also. Thomas is over 80 now and doing wonderful. Thank you Dr. Fry

I would avoid this place at all cost. The counselors and NP are great, but the administration portion is outsourced and they have consistently changed hands. I've been a patient since 2010. Multiple therapists (all great) have left the practice because of the nonsense. This will be my last year as they are no longer accepting insurance. Also, if you have a balance, they will not send in refills for medication. How is that in the patients' best interest? Your best bet if you need help is to go through your Primary Care.
