While I'm glad some people seem to have had a positive experience with Dr. Teas, mine was anything but. I was in inpatient care in the psych ward of Alexian Brothers under the care of Dr. Teas when I was 19. He said he needed me to go on anti-psychotic medications. I told him I felt more like I was stressed out and afraid of being in the psych ward than like I required those drugs, that I had issues but non of which were psychosis symptoms, and that I was concerned about these drugs's side effects. He responded by telling me that he was able to go in front of a jury and tell them that I needed electroshock therapy, and that they would listen to him because he's a 'very good doctor', and that I would be legally forced to get electro shock therapy if I refused the meds. I took them. Years later, after receiving an EEG brain scan I learned that the heavy dose of these unnecessary meds had given me brain damage.
It still haunts me that this man still has his medical license.

If you like talking to a doctor that never looks at you then Dr. Teas is the psychiatrist for you. He shows no concern for your condition. He is extremely quick to prescribe many medications without asking the important questions. He is the boss at St. Alexius Behavioral Health. It's hard to believe that this doctor is the boss of other psychiatrists. There are far better doctors out there that are in the area.

Please stay away from this Dr. His license should be revoked. He over medicates, sees patience for 20 min, prescribes meds, and doesn't help at all. My brother lays in bed all day, cannot function and has now turned to alcohol as well. I reached out to Dr teas, met with him and asked him to save my brothers life. He is doing the exact opposite and killing him one day at a time and he will not return my phone call. Stay away if you or a loved one need real help. Seek a true professional that cares.

According to Teas' medical records, he thought my concerns of prior medical errors were "delusions" requiring lifelong drugs. According to all my medical records, I had a "bad fix" on a broken bone covered up with a bad drug cocktail. The ADRs and withdrawal symptoms of this resulted in a bipolar misdiagnosis (according to Teas' "holy" DSM). This resulted in a "Foul up," an extremely adverse reaction to Rispedal. I was then poisoned via known drug interactions that caused anticholinergic intoxication, prior to being finally weaned off the drugs. I then suffered from lithium withdrawal, so was unnecessarily shipped by doctors wanting to cover up the prior medical errors to a Dr. V R Kuchipudi. Please read about Kuchipudi's maltreatment of patients: http://www.justice.gov/usao/iln/pr/chicago/2013/pr0416_01a.pdf http://projects.propublica.org/checkup/providers/1345809 The psychiatric industry is shameful for covering up malpractice, as is Dr. Teas.

Worst doctor a patient can ever have. The good reviews are by people getting the drugs they want, not need. Arrogant, poor listener, money/power hungry Dr. Misdiagnosed since 18 finding out the truth 10 years later, given every psychiatric drug or very close in the book in various dosages that didn't add up. I was a walking drugged out zombie for no reason. 'Five' medical questions and you're diagnosed. The more medicine prescribed and the higher the mgs the more money and incentives this man and other doctors get. Way to go Big Pharma! Diet, exercise and lifestyle predict how your brain will function, not external unnatural chemical compounds that are not made for the body to handle.

I have had enough. Dr. T yawns and types while you are telling him "what's been going on". He seems bored with the process of healing. While pleasant, he gives very little feedback, and only pushes meds, and shuffles you out of his office in 15 minutes. His staff returns calls 2-3 days later, and in one case during a crisis, they nor the Doctor ever called back. This was a very disappointing choice.

I saw this Dr last in 1997 when he refused to see me anymore as I was going on Medicare and he refused to take Medicare. He also pushed meds. and didn't try to get to the root of my problem. I wouldn't recommend this Dr.

Dr. Teas is what a psychiatrist should be. He will do whatever it takes to treat your symptoms. He is not afraid to use MAOI's like many other doctors. Dr. Teas is also an Addictionologist, so he is the guy for drug dependency and addiction treatment. I wish I had more time, but you will not be disappointed with Dr. Teas!
