Visit went well, prescribed meds to help. Lowest dosage and he needs to see me every 2 weeks. The meds aren't helping as much as I would like.
Dr. Hunter took up a great deal of time with me making notes asking questions. I have searched for a doctor that could Dx me. He was able to trouble shoot my problem and he gave me a medication that began working the next day. I'm very greatfull.

Very short wait time. Not very personable, I think I will look for another psychiatrist.
Very smart physician with tons of stories, I really enjoyed my first visit!
Caring, concerned, astute Dr. with excellent bedside manner.
Visit went well, prescribed meds to help. Lowest dosage and he needs to see me every 2 weeks. The meds aren't helping as much as I would like.
Unprofessional... and after one 40 minute session and a half ass(essment) of my entire life and my family history, with respect to my mental health, the "good doc" diagnosed me as being "psychotic". I would tell anyone considering this practitioner to find a doctor who has a current edition of the DSM and uses responsible judgment and care when assessing a new patient. I have not claimed that the doctor named above has violated any law and I am only stating my perspective about my experience. This is one persons opinion.
Dr. Hunter took up a great deal of time with me making notes asking questions. I have searched for a doctor that could Dx me. He was able to trouble shoot my problem and he gave me a medication that began working the next day. I'm very greatfull.
He was very knowledgeable. Considerably old which made it a little hard to relate. Very traditional views. I wouldn't recommend talking to him about the government or politics! But he knows his meds.
My appointment was incorrectly scheduled and then bumped by a late patient. I spent 45 minutes waiting in the office before leaving. Very unprofessional. Waste of time I did not have to waste. The apology call from doctor a few hours later was appreciated, but did not make up for wasted time.
Wonderful man. Very personal and makes you feel comfortable. He is easy to talk to. You can tell he is very intelligent and knows what he is doing.
Great!
