However, if you are committed to improving the quality of your mental health life, put the time in that is necessary to know the true reasons behind your mental health needs. Be open. Be honest and forthcoming in sharing information. And - be patient. For every minute have had to wait, when your time with Dr. Parrott arrives, there is no clock and you are treated as if helping you is the only thing of any consequence. For the first time many patients develop a dialogue with the doctor that provides the clues to effective treatment.
Dr. Parrot is an amazing doctor.
The most knowledgeable psychiatrist I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Some people feel they have to wait too long. However the practice of psychiatry is an interwoven network of life experiences, genetics, natural resilience and how day- to-day stressors impact an individual. There is no prescription that is "one size fits all" and effective long-lasting benefits can only occur when the physician knows the dynamics driving each patient's unique lifestyle and how psychiatric needs manifest themselves. This takes time and the development a relationship between the client and the psychiatrist which allows time to determine which medications are likely to produce positive results. Dr. Parrott does not throw medication 'darts' at the 'patient dartboard.' He evaluates all factors impacting an individual. This takes time.
Dr. Parrot is eccentric, and he has long waiting times. I usually have to wait 2 or more hours to see him. That being said, he is a genius. I was a wreck when I first saw him. He talked to me for 3 hours in our session. He got to the root of the problem and gave me medicine that fixed me up in a day or two. He is the best psychiatrist I have ever been to. I cannot recommend him enough.
My husband has been seeing Dr. Parrott for over a year. He normally has to wait for over 45 min. past the appointment time to be called into office. Last appointment was for 9am, he waited 30 min. and Dr. Parrott hadn't even arrived to his office yet so he left at 9:30am. Later that day the receptionist called and left a message to reschedule saying Dr. Parrott had a emergency and cancelled all his morning appointments. A couple days later I get my statement from BC/BS and they were charged for this appointment. Needless to say we are done with Dr. Parrott.
If you are not committed to making lasting positive changes in you mental health, go somewhere else and do not waste your time or Dr. Parrotts'.
The reviews regarding the wait time ARE accurate, but I've had similar experiences with several other doctors. None of the previous doctors I have seen even come close to Dr. Parrot. Within 2 hours of talking he presented me with information regarding my diagnosis that I had suspected for almost my whole life, but other doctors disregarded. He's brilliant, intuitive, and maybe a bit eccentric. If you want someone willing to stay late, put in the time, and most of all actually make a difference, than Dr. Parrot is your man.
It is not convenient for either you or Dr. Parrott to be off schedule. But if you are the patient needing help, you will be given the time necessary to know you as a person with specific needs and factor all these considerations into your treatment. Decide if you truly want to resolve your issues and improve your quality of life and invest the amount of time it takes to do so. You will never regret this decision but know recovery is a partnership, not just a prescription. If this is what you want, there is no better choice anywhere, in my opinion, than Dr. Earl Quillon Parrott.
