Burl Forgey IV, MD

"I received my medical records and saw in Dr. Forgey's notes that he wrote that I had started drinking again, stopped taking my bipolar medications, and worse. I had not. He also committed patient abandonment. I have witnesses and more. It was years ago. I had to let it go, so I could live without anger. But for new patients, HIPPA law allows you access to your medical records."

"When I was having a crisis and went to Dr. Forgey for the first time, he saw me immediately. I was immediately impressed by his knowledge of pharmacology as well as how understanding he is. Also, Dr. Forgey has never rushed me during appointments with him, and he gives me his full attention during our time together. Finally, Dr. Forgey respects his patients' time as well: he's never left me in the waiting room for hours. If you need a psychiatrist, I highly recommend Dr. Forgey."

"Mostly I have. I have definite civil charges to bring and I will be talking to out local DA about criminal or starting an investigation. This paperwork is so damning. And I have pages a s pages. This basically says patient admits to drinking 6-8 beers a day. I can’t believe he write that. Benzos and alcohol can definitely be deadly especially with my tolerance then. “He adds. I talked to him about complete abstinence but no. Continue Xanax which was 1mg wild by then"

"Dr Forgey is amazing. He listens to you when you speak and addresses all issues and he will spend as much as he needs with you to resolve the issues or get them under control. I would definitely recommend Dr Forgey for ALL mental situations. Thanks Dr Forgey for helping me."

"Unprofessional to the core. I set up an initial consultation, which is $495 for Dr. Forgey. No problem. When I initially set up the appointment, on a Friday, the receptionist scheduled it for the following Monday. A family emergency arose and I had to travel to Birmingham. Remembering I had an appointment set up for Monday, I called hoping for a after hours line. I waited for over an hour 2 separate times, to no avail, throughout the weekend to try and reschedule the appt or cancel until I could make it back to Baton Rouge. I was never contacted back by his office nor was I able to reach anyone. Instead of showing grace and compassion for his clientele, Dr. Forgey instead instructed his employees to, without correspondence, send a bill and ultimately turn a missed appointment to collections. After several attempts to explain the nature of events which led to me missing our initial appt, no one batted an eye and instead moved expeditiously to retrieve their payment (for no service). I rarely miss an appt and surely never intend to do so, however when I have, most professionals worth their weight in gold, understand and extend the benefit of the doubt. Especially considering he could’ve made thousands upon thousands in regularly scheduled appointments and evaluations. Beyond the dissolute handling of scheduling, someone should have enough business and economic sensibility to understand a business thrives on repeat customers, not lifelong adversaries. You should be ashamed, but that of course would insinuate you have a conscience. Clearly you have an advantage when working with those whom suffer from ASPD's, considering you are one of the same. Thankfully I've been blessed with being born into an affluent family and am not pressured or threatened by this offices' attempts to fraudulently extort their clientele. Best of luck to you and your practice."
