Dr. Deborah L. Giorgi-Guarnieri, MD 708 Mobjack Place, Newport News, VA 23606

"I love Dr. GG. She has helped me through a lot if difficult situations, especially with work stuff. I can understand some of the people talking about the front desk people. They can seem rude until you get to know them. When Cindy worked the front desk she was amazing. Terri is a sweetheart. I think if you try Dr. GG you wont be disappointed."

"Dr. G.G. is absolutely amazing. I seriously don't know what I'd do without her. She has changed my life. Before I started seeing her I never thought that I would be able to have children due to the medication I was on. She was able to get me on something safe for pregnancy. I had a wonderful and healthy pregnancy and postpartum period. I wouldn't have my beautiful baby if it wasn't for her. She is kind, caring, and intelligent."

"Excellent doctor. She is familiar with the very real risks of physical dependence and withdrawal effects from psychiatric drugs (benzos, Z-drugs, SSRIs etc), as well as the need for slow tapering protocols that many other doctors will deny or fail to understand. She is an outside-the-box thinker and considers the body as a whole."

"I called this place to be evaluated. I noticed immediately the staff is quite snappy and rude on the phone. Apparently if you don't meet the phychatrists "criteria" you don't get to be seen. She wants 6 months of past history before she even sees you. I'm on a low dose of a very common anti-depressant (Effexor). I was DENIED by this practice for that reason alone. Apparently a little bit of withdraw effects are the reason you can't be seen here. Keep in minds I have NEVER taken narcotics, Sleep aides, or anything that would distort my mental health state drastically. This practice is denying people the help they need because of absurd reasoning. I hate to tell them but almost antidepressants have withdraw effects. Super sad. They are contributing to the mental health crisis. Thankfully I'm in well functioning condition. I wouldn't consider this place."

"If you want a lot of different antidepressants go see her. Dr. GG will test you for MTHFR and then prescribe you one of her expensive drugs like Deplin. Also this woman almost had me locked up in the Farley Center due to another doctors opinion! I am not an alcoholic or drug addict. She wouldn’t speak to me on the phone when I called her upset! She hid behind her secretary and violated my privacy. She also discussed my case with her husband who was my plastic surgeon!! Very unethical. Speaks about other patients to patients and office staff. She doesn’t care. It’s just a job to her."
