I am a former pt (have since moved) and give Advanced Therapeutic Services 5 stars because they are really doing the greater Dayton area a huge service. I have referred my family members there recently and they are extremely satisfied. Yes, their building is ghetto (if you ask me, so are most of their patients). But if you want to go to a fancy building where rich people go, most likely you are going to be paying $400+ for a 10-minute appointment for the same service (your prescription) and your psychiatrist will be laughing all the way to the bank, which is what greedy doctors do (I should know, because I work with doctors). At ATS you pay $60-70 for a doctor's appointment. That is unheard of in most places in the country. Ridiculously low. The doctor that I went to was one of the most humble, down-to-earth doctors I have ever had. You can tell from the operations (low fees, ghetto building) that these psychiatrists are not just trying to get rich off of the woes of their patients. They are really trying to help a community out.
Also, from reading other people's reviews, it strikes me as funny that people don't seem to know the difference between a psychiatrist and psychologist/therapist/counselor. You see a psychiatrist (M.D.) for medication management, unless the psychiatrist explicitly states that they do psychotherapy sessions. You see a counselor/psychologist/therapist for psychotherapy. So if you are going to a psychiatrist expecting them to analyze your Daddy issues or the fact that your pet bird passed away, you are seeing the wrong mental health professional. Just a heads up.
