Kun Tang, Psychiatrist — Local services in Vinings

I thought long and hard before posting a public review like this, but Dr. Tang was surprisingly one of the worst mental health experiences I've had.

Our initial appointment was good and she seemed thoughtful and informed, but during our second and third (final) appointment, she consistently interrupted me, spoke over me, and took an antagonistic approach that I've never experienced from a mental health professional.

After consulting with my therapist and others about my second visit, I was encouraged to voice my concerns to the medical director, who was empathetic and understanding. The MD encouraged me to follow up with Dr. Tang to at the third (final) visit to at least let her know that I had a SEIZURE as a result of the medication she prescribed (Wellbutrin) instead of the medication I am seeking a refill for (Adderall) and close my case.

I was extremely disappointed at my third visit with Dr. Tang who appeared to not even remember who I was, suggesting to me the same medication that I just informed her lowered my seizure threshold, THEN suggested Adderall which is what I was originally seeking but she declined to rx at the second visit because I use marijuana. Fair enough to decline the Rx (but I wish she'd made that clear before the visit because I'd already told her I use marijuana at the first appointment and drove over an hour to the second) but why are you suggesting medication you already said you would not prescribe? I had to reminder her of all of these details for the first 10 min of our third appointment, after which she stiffly asked "Why am I here?"...um, to let you know I had a seizure last week??

I told her I use marijuana to self medicate when I don't have access to ADHD meds, she said that's "not true because marijuana does not improve concentration". She spoke over me constantly, even as I said her approach felt antagonistic and I have no reason to lie to her about what I use and why. I didn't say it made ADHD go away, just that it helped me cope (which is a very common experience for ADHDers) and that when I have Adderall I don't have the desire to use marijuana nearly as much.

She continually asked why I have only been prescribed ADHD medication 4 times in the past 5 years -It's impossible for me to have ADHD meds prior to a year ago because I was only diagnosed last year, shortly before loosing health insurance temporarily. She would have known this had she actually read my chart, reviewed notes from our last visit, or simply let me talk instead of interrupting me, being rude and antagonizing me for using marijuana while seeking previously prescribed ADHD medication.

I attended the third visit solely 1)to avoid a cancellation fee and 2) to actually follow up with medical feedback of how my body responded to the medication. To ask "Why am I here?" after I told you this let's me know that she doesn't consider the fact that I had a seizure relevant?? I ended our virtual session early and won't be returning, but I won't be silent about the lack of respect for two visits in a row.

Regardless of what medication was/wasn't prescribed, Dr. Tang was shockingly unprofessional and condescending. This is not someone I would recommend speaking to if you are truly vulnerable or need help, especially if you are a Black woman. Unfortunately every other review on Web MD says...

I agree with Ebony's review. This lady is the absolute WORST Dr(If you want to call her that) I have EVER had the displeasure of wasting my time with. She was 30 Minutes late first off. Asking me questions I answered while explaining my situation to her and when I called her out on her bs, she said I was hostile. She did not like being called out or asked why she just asked me the same question 3 times. She definitely isn't used to someone advocating for themselves. She definitely interrupted me the entire time. Acted like she was a way better "professional " than she is. Thinks she has to remind me that she is the professional but then asks me what I wanted her to do 🤦🏼‍♀️ told her I was having withdrawals off a medication I was tapering off of and she told me that that medication doesn't do that. I told her these are my feelings it IS what it is and after I told her 3 times that the withdrawals got so bad that I was in bed for 3 days straight she had the nerve to ask if I was depressed. I mentioned that 3 or so times. This lady does NOT listen. she was very discrediting. was not empathetic at all. She was acting like she was a victim because I told her about herself. I was very confident and direct and She couldn't handle the fact that I took control of the situation by telling her my needs. She was following protocol like a robot. If you value your mental health as I do please don't hire this women. I swear I feel like I walked out with more issues than I walked in with🤦🏼‍♀️ just know that we as people should advocate for ourselves and some of these Drs DO NOT have our best interests in mind. WE hire THEM not the other way around. They are not used to people standing up for themselves. They prey on people that are so desperate that they do whatever the Drs say. Listen to your bodies. BTW Dr Tang. YOU'RE FIRED! Not only are you a horrible HORRIBLE Dr but a horrible human being. You need to see a...

I had a pretty terrible experience with Dr. Tang. She discounted most things I said, refused to give me an ADHD screening, and instead upped my already existing meds (against my wishes) more and more with each visit. There was no personal connection, and it felt like she wanted to get me off of each telehealth appt as quickly as possible.

I'm currently on day 3 of calling and trying to refill those medications - by the way, you have to do this EVERY month. It isn't automatic like other offices. It took until today for the office to mention that I actually need to schedule an appt. with her to give me those refills. Strange - I haven't needed to do that for any of the previous refills. I wonder if it's because I told her I was going to be looking for another doctor.

In summation, I'm now going to over a week without my medications, waiting for an appointment to open up that I didn't know I needed. Go somewhere else for your mental...
