Parents Beware 11/9/2007

My son began Neurofeedback at 17th Avenue Psychiatry and completed nearly 30 sessions. After seeing no improvement, my husband and I traveled to Austin to get a second opinion from an established Neurofeedback provider. The clinician in Austin stated that my child was not a candidate for Neurotherapy due to his diagnosis and lack of response to treatment. He even consulted with other Neurotherapy providers and reported that he felt it was not apprpriate to treat my son with Neurofeedback. When I reported this information to Dr. Starr, he insisted that we continue neurofeedback and threatened to discharge my son as a patient if we did not. While I am not professional in the field of Neurotherapy, I have done quite a bit of research on Neurofeedback. I have found that it is not for everyone. In fact, every book I've read and every neurotherapist I have spoken with (4 not including Dr. Starr) has stated that not everyone is a candidate for Neurofeedback. My husband and I are friends with 3 other families. whose children are former patients at 17th Avenue Psychiatry, all 3 had a similar experience. If you are a patient of Dr. Starr's, please check his facts and get a second opinion before proceeding with his advice. There has been several occasions where I have checked on the information Dr. Starr has given me and found it to be false!! When I confronted him about this, he completely dismissed it and claimed he didn't say that. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!! Pros: Josie, the dog Cons: Dr. Starr's quality of care and limited knowledge of Neurotherapy more

Neurofeedback Changed Our LIves 10/18/2007

My child does not take ritalin anymore thanks to Dr. Starr. We tried neurofeedback at 17th Avenue Psychiatry in nashville. A friend told us about it, and after reading and researching my husband and I thought it was the best thing for our child. A fter only a few months, my son was off his medication and doing great. We could not beleive it. Now we have a normal healthy teenager who is happy and doing great in school. Thank you, Dr. Starr. Pros: Friendly Staff, home-like setting, office dog, great coffee Cons: Difficult to get an appointment more

The best for my child 4/8/2006

Dr. Starr is an amazing psychiatrist. Having had a good bit of experience in this area, I can tell you it is refreshing to find a therapist who both listens and has the knowledge and skill to actually help your child and make a difference. People like him are rare and hard to find. Pros: quality care, caring staff, cool office Cons: narrow driveway more
