My appointment was virtual with the doctor in Pineville and I was in Garner. Dr. Guidry was very helpful and began to change my medications to help with my anxiety. It was a relief to finally be able to get an appointment with a psychiatrist.

Dr. Guidry was knowledgeable and considerate, fully briefed on my background. He devoted more time to my telemedicine visit than I had expected, which was appreciated by me.

Asked great questions, shared stories that made the experience feel comfortable and conversational, gave encouragement, made me feel taken care of. I have only excellent things to say about Dr. Guidry and my experience!
February 25, 2021Meredith R.Verified patientVideo visit
I felt like I had seen this doctor before, it was just that comfortable talking to him and it was a zoom appt at that. He listened, asked questions I had never thought about and I absolutely love his bedside manner. He may tell you things you may not like or didn’t realize about yourself BUT he talks you through it. I have only had one visit with him but he definitely a keeper, he is smart, super nice and a great listener. His staff was super helpful and friendly which is a rare gem these days. Seeing this type of doctor is never easy but I can promise you he is so worth you trying. You will not be disappointed and may find yourself looking forward to your next visit.

It was easy to talk to him and get the bottom of my concerns and issues. He diagnosed me with something that many other psychiatrists missed over the years and I can already tell the difference after getting the right help.
