Terrible experience with this provider. Did not listen, did not understand, left me hanging in a crisis on new meds. Gave her benefit of doubt after realizing my messages to to the receptionst were not being conveyed with accuracy only for her to turn around and state that my concerns of seratonin syndrome were not an emergency. A clear lack of empathy is at the heart of the matter. This provider is not trauma-informed nor neurodivergent sensitive and sent me spiralling into relapse. Disgusting!

Mrs Kiser was very helpful for me during a very tough time and was very thoughtful and understanding. I greatly appreciate her. Lifestance has been great with appointments and every time I call there is someone there to answer the phone. It is a very calm environment and well maintained. I am very thankful for the work they do here in knoxville.

Melinda Kiser is amazing! She treats my mother who has dementia with so much care, patience, and respect. She puts mom at ease and gets her to open up in discussions which is wonderful for a member of a generation that was not always open to therapy!

Very personable Dr. Visits. Prompt replies back to refill requests on portal, really sweet desk lady in Knoxville. Gives me hope again in an actual office that spends the time to speak with their patients and collaborate on medication management. Dr. Kiser is a very intelligent lady and listens to you without it being fake or scripted. Thank you guys!!
