In it for the money only. He has really made alot of difficulty for people with other treatment options. A wolf in sheep's clothing. Too bad people go to see this Dr. only to get hooked on Suboxone. Not recommended.

I have been a patient of Dr Atkinson for 8 years. From the 1st appointment to present day he has shown nothing but care and compassion not only for me but for my family as well. Dr Atkinson and staff are there to make a difference in their patients lives, not collect your cash and write a script. If you want a Dr to sugarcoat your situation this is not the place for you. Because of Dr Atkinson, Penny and Debbie, I am living a much better life today than the road I was headed down 8 years ago.

Dr. Atkinson saved my daughter's life. He speaks from experience and he has helped so many people. He certainly is not in it for the money and he knows exactly how to help people. We have been to several accredited rehab facilities. All they do is write prescriptions and take her money. We love Dr. Atkinson and his wife Penny and office manager Debbie. They truly care. But if you don't want the truth, don't go there. You have to want to help yourself. He can't do it for you. He's the best!

Dr. Atkinson has a very myopic view of people and medicine. He treats his patients with methadone and suboxone (highly addictive prescription drugs) yet is responsible for banning Kratom, an herbal supplement with a wide-scope of treatment applications. He has limited the treatment options for the entire state of Arkansas. Since he mostly treats addicts/recovering addicts he views people taking herbal supplements as trying to get high. He sees addiction pathology everywhere he looks.
