If you are considering Dr. Akbar Salman, I strongly recommend you read this. My experience with both this doctor and Talkiatry was extremely unprofessional, frustrating, and unacceptable. I scheduled with Dr. Salman, but never received the appointment link. I had to contact Talkiatry myself for help; when I finally connected, the audio was so poor I could barely hear him and had to ask him to repeat himself. He could not access any of my medical information or medication lists from Emory. After a brief conversation, he told me to find someone else. I asked for a school note, and he said no and abruptly ended the appointment. I know not every doctor is the right fit, but this was handled terribly.
Then I was billed for TWO appointments the same day. ??? I went in needing help and left even more distraught than when I started. This was not the professional or compassionate care I expected. I have never seen such a bad patient treatment. What a shame. All because I gave this service a try
