Staff is very nice and professional. Ive never had to wait more than 10 minutes. I see Elena Klimbal for medication management and I'm very happy with her. I have no complaints about anything.

After reading all these terrible reviews I was extremely nervous to go for my first visit here but I was pleasantly surprised. I found the whole staff to be friendly and Elena Klimbal NP was helpful and very easy to talk to. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 is because of how long it actually took to get the appointment.

The doctors are awful. Very little concern with what you, as a patient, are actually going through. I was told the side effects I was feeling were not important. Nor were other symptoms I was experiencing — though they affected my every day life. The physician was completely dismissive. He also interrupted me numerous times, making it clear that how I felt and the other options I wanted to consider were of no significance to him. The physician also refused to see me in a reasonable amount of time to follow up. 12 weeks. 12 weeks is not a reasonable amount of time to follow up with someone who has continued to experience symptoms of depression and worsening side effects of a medication. And, no, it was not a new medication that I was trying to “see if it works”. I had been on it for over 6 months, a good amount of time, because I wanted it to work, but finally decided I needed to change since the side effects were so disruptive. After three visits, one with the NP, and the others with a psychiatrist where I was dismissed, interrupted, and invalidated, I couldn’t go anymore. It took months for me to get that first appointment with a psychiatrist. Which wouldn’t be as frustrating if MGC didn’t have the completely unnecessary step after being referred by my PC, of having ANOTHER preliminary appointment where I met with an NP who did nothing other than act as a “gatekeeper” to the psychiatrist. After waiting all that time I couldn’t believe how bad of a physician the psychiatrist turned out to be. I am not the only one who has had this kind of experience here and can’t believe how poor the quality of care — if you can call it that — the psychiatrists in Spartanburg provide. Because I move frequently I have had to transfer to different psychiatrists every new city I live in, and thus have seen a few. This practice and the psychiatrist I saw is the worst one I have ever been to.

I regret wasting my time with this place. I would have been better off treating myself. SANDY so called practice manager she IS LAZY DOESNT CALL YOU BACK , when you have an issue they tell you to call her and she will NEVER CALL YOU. Kristin klimbal is horrible , she very judge mental and in no place to be treating patient who suffer from mental illness. She asked me what do I want her to do ? I don’t know you tell me your the so called psychiatrist!! Front staff is rude !! the only nice and caring people are the intake nurses. Please anyone thinking or going here i don’t recommend my depression actually worsen seeing them I felt terrible and less of a human being. I don’t usually leave reviews. But I couldn’t take it but I’m trying to help people who need real help !!!!! Greenville psychiatrist are probably who you need to lean to. NOT THIS These people only want a paycheck they don’t care go somewhere else
