Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

the best Dr!
Dr Mefford has been with me every step of my diagnosis and treatment! Scheduling is easy, portal is great, he always answers quickly, and understands when I forget what day it is and end up 10 minutes late - which is nice when you're working with an ADHD doctor lol! I appreciate him so much, he's very compassionate and really cares.

Dr. Mefford has impressed me in so many ways and has changed my view of the medical profession. One example of what sets Dr. Mefford apart from other doctors occurred when the pharmacy I typically use didn't have my medicine in stock and after emailing Dr. Mefford about the issue, he had resolved the issue and the prescription was ready less than 10 minutes later; this happened on a Friday afternoon at a quarter till 5:00 pm.

Great Experience and Extremely Knowledgable
I moved to SC and needed a new psychiatrist for my ADHD. Dr. Mefford was the first I met and he has been excellent. We have explored medications outside of the one I was taking that was giving me some discomfort and he is well-versed in all of the different options.

Caring and knowledgeable
Dr. Mefford is an outstanding physician who is thorough and understanding. He schedules enough time for each appointment to review any changes or problems taking place since your previous visit and his availability for tele-health appointments make his practice the most flexible for fitting in a visit during the work week.

5 Stars All Around
Having been diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I had not found a doctor that really listened to me and my goals. By chance I found Dr. Mefford who has taken the time to help me find a plan that works for me. If we have to tweak the plan, he doesn’t hesitate to give me the facts and his advice, while still taking my concerns into consideration and making sure I am comfortable moving forward. Would recommend Dr. Mefford to anyone that is looking for convenient yet quality care.

Compassionate and flexible care for ADHD
Dr. Medford is the most competent and compassionate Doctor I've ever known. He remembers little details about me and seems to actually care if I'm getting better which is a stark difference to other psychiatrists I've seen in the past. He doesn't just throw pills at a problem but offers real world solutions and coping skills. If you need compassionate treatment for adult ADHD he's the bees knees!
